RE: They have doubled the number of servers and have replacedthevirtual database with a high-capacity physical one

The line, verbatim, comes from a blog here: http://www.hhs.gov/digitalstrategy/blog/index.html, Oct 29, that was quoted in several media outlets including the Washington Post. All the media references I've found did little to expand the context in which the statement was made. I suggest reading all the blogs for the last week or so to understand.

Please post the link to the story. We could all use a few more laughs about
this whole fiasco.

Laughing at it is better medicine than being outraged about it.

lol

Actually I believe there are already radio buttons and scroll bars on
healthcare.gov.

I purposely did not include the explanation of where it came from. I
have no desire to turn this into a discussion of health care in the US.
However, this is a part of a story detailing what has already been done
with healthcare.gov.

I am thinking they are saying they dumped Oracle and went with our IBM
platform. ;)

Or, something else altogether. (But I really didn't post this to start
a political discussion., I am trying to figure out what it is that they
have actually done. The idea of a virtual database mystifies me. I
have no idea what that is. Do we have one? Do we wish we did?)

What does "replaced the virtual database with a high-capacity

physical

one" mean? I don't understand the terminology well enough to know
what
has been done.
