Oracle was the driver for Trimble Mobile Solutions, a division of
Trimble Navigation Ltd. that provides location information to global
positioning systems via radio, cellular phone, and the Internet.
When the company wanted to move its Oracle database to a clustered
environment, Oracle pushed to run 9i Real Application Clusters on
Linux rather than Windows.
