http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13737/gridlink_datasources.htm#CHDIAGEF

Why GridLink?

1. Fast failover leveraging ONS of RAC
2. fast RAC disaster graceful response (planned, wait for TX finish;  non-planned, rollback)
• manual rac shutdown 11.2- ends as non-planned
3. runtime load-balance  
4. one datasource configuration, no test on reserve needed
5. SCAN address (single address for ONS and Listener, RAC nodes neutral)
6. secure with Wallet
