RAID for Databases

This post is wandering quite far from my normal info-related posts...

ObjectWeb, an Apache group, released the alpha of Clustered JDBC. The project provides a JDBC (Java database connector) driver for clusters of databases. What this means is that there might soon be a simple, low-cost way to provide redundancy and scalability to a variety of databases, including open source products like MySQL and PostgresSQL. Cool.
