Workload management in 10g Grid

Question

Hello,
I can't yet realize on which level workload management will be work in 10g - database or application server?
I mean could workload be provisioned based on schedules or performance thresholds in 10g RAC or such workload balancing deals with only 10g Application Servers clusters?

WHAT IS ENTERPRISE GRID COMPUTING?
Enterprise grid computing builds a critical software infrastructure that can run
on large numbers of small, networked computers, by combining two related
concepts:
� Implement One from Many. Grid computing coordinates the use of clusters
of machines to create a single logical entity, such as a database or an
application server. By distributing work across many servers, grid
computing exhibits benefits of availability, scalability, and performance
using low-cost components. Because a single logical entity is implemented
across many machines, companies can add or remove capacity in small
increments, online. With the capability to add capacity on demand to a
particular function, companies get more flexibility for adapting to peak
loads, thus achieving better hardware utilization and better business
responsiveness.
� Manage Many as One. Grid computing allows you to manage and
administer groups of machines, groups of database instances, and groups
of application servers at low-cost. Grid computing first removes many of
the administrative costs of managing a single system by making each
database and each application server adaptive to changing circumstances.
Then, the model makes managing many systems simple, by allowing them
to be managed as a single logical entity.
