Oracle DB - Is it possible to distribute data of a table onto multiple servers?

Question

Bigtable-like systems (HBase for instance) allows a table to be distributed transparently across multiple servers. This works as follows:

1. Each server perform the read/writes operations on distinct partitions (shards) of the same table.
2. The DBA does not need to explicitely specify the server holding the partition in his query.
3. When the DBA run his query, the API will route the request to the proper server.
4. (The main benefit is scale-out scalability for write operations)

My assumption is that Oracle can not do so, but I am not an Oracle expert. References to confirm or correct this hypothesis are much appreciated.
