"Productize" is not a word! Why can't you use simple existing words -- "becoming a product"? Sheesh.

@GrizzledGeezer continual use is making it into a word. Sorry, but language changes over time, new words added, old words forgotten.

@snoop0x7b - actually I find "Nuggets" to be a perfectly appropriate name. It's a place "Nuggets of knowledge" (aka "tribal knowledge", which I recently found that even the DOD has and governmental organizations live by but doesn't really document anywhere).

@snoop0x7b - I get it, you don't like the name, that's fine, but to persist in making your statements such as the one just above is rather obnoxious, wouldn't you agree?

Good day to confirm this comment I would appreciate T h e b e s t o f Z D N e t d e l i v e r e d your website very nice to everyone Yes, Oracle is the only one with shared-disk architecture, but that is there advantage. It means you can add or remove nodes and the database lives on. In a shared nothing architecture, if you lose a node, you lose the system. I'm sure Oracle appreciates EMC highlighting their advantage.I also desire to signal in your RSS feeds. Thank you as soon as once again and maintain up the great operate Awesome post! Thank you very much || thanks for nice content this is really benefit to me.
