Oracle bins virtual compute appliance, reveals identical private cloud appliance

Same box, but marketers are paid more than you

Big Red's marketers have therefore enriched some printers by changing the name of the "Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance" (VCA) to the "Oracle Private Cloud Appliance" (PCA)."
