Electronic Arts proves a Grid Built with Oracle9i Technology on Commodity Clusters Provides the Most Cost-effective Database Solution: "Electronic tronic Arts Inc. (EA) creates and distributes entertainment software. Its EA.com division creates and delivers about 45% of all online game playing in the world, with about 15 million active players. EA's offerings include family and sports games, as well as persistent state world games (PSWs) such as Ultima Online, Earth & Beyond, and now, The Sims Online. In The Sims Online, a virtual reality with endless possibilities, players create characters that interact with other online 'Sims'; they form friendships, start businesses, build houses, explore neighborhoods, and affect their surroundings in a host of other ways. The Sims Online community continues to evolve, much like the real world, while a player is offline. Returning players must react to new conditions each time they rejoin their virtual community. Just like life, The Sims Online is a constantly changing environment that presents challenges as well as a lot of fun to players."
