Seems strange that these suddenly appear after the Sun
acquisition. My take on it - a Sun HPC box which is being
repurposed as a high end database server.

Actually I suspect it's the other way around, I'm guessing
they're taking the Sun Exadata2 (pre-dates the purchase) and
are working to make that a more general purpose "cloud" system.

They could be using something like ScaleMP to build larger
SMP's over its internal IB fabric.

AFAIKT, the product "Oracle Coherence" is sort of nosql - get/put access, presented as peer-to-peer caching layer.
I don't think it's a VM consistency middleware product like ScaleMP.
