Life in the Fast Lane
I recently wrote about a college visit — Big Data, Performance, and Coconut Smoothies might as well be titled Big Data at the Big Ten. And the ability to collect, measure, and analyze this massive flood of data for meaningful insights requires important non-functional IT requirements like reliability, availability, security, and of course performance. The [...]

A Tale of IBM Great Expectations
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times . . .” Let’s look at the worst first. Last week HP announced new Itanium servers. But don’t get too excited. Were there industry standard benchmarks announced in the press release? — No, just “internal lab testing.” Last week I was meeting with [...]

IBM Cooks Up Another Awesome zEnterprise
It had cooled off a bit where I live. And a friend was back from a long sojourn in the backcountry. Which meant it was time to make something wonderful and warm for dinner. I thought about all the options I had and then hit on one of the best. It was time to cook [...]

You’ve Got Mail, Weird Mail from Oracle
This morning I received an email from Oracle. Not surprising since I signed up to get some of their communications a few years ago. What surprised me is what the email contained. First of all, the email was addressed to “Elis”. Now I have gone by many nicknames in my past, but never “Elis”. I [...]

Smarter Storage, Awesome Efficiency
So I’m in the middle, once again, of planning a summer vacation. If only I had no constraints on funding — I would then take a plane any day and any time that I really wanted to. And I could leave from the airport that is actually near where I live. And not over an [...]

Expert Integrated Systems: A Revolutionary Repast
This past weekend I needed to make dinner for 15 people. Twice. I organized my shopping into two trips, not ten. I cooked one side dish but bought another. One night I grilled, one I roasted. I set the table ahead of time. I admit it — I even bought bagged salad. The point here [...]

A Better Future — and Much Faster with IBM
Is the future always better? Sometimes it’s not so clear. Take reading. Now that everyone is reading on electronic devices, we complain about getting distracted by email and tweets. No wonder we’re not finishing Anna Karenina. Take brushing teeth. I read this morning that kids these days are requiring oral surgery to fill numerous cavities [...]

Performance in a Flash: New IBM XIV SSD Caching
3 ways that caching can help performance: Caching is a type of animal behavior where an animal will store food in times of surplus for times when food is less plentiful. The place where the food is stored is called a cache and it is hidden from competing individuals. Caching can be on a long-term [...]
