On Investing in the Cloud
It’s 7AM on a weekday morning and I’m in the middle of nowhere in the middle of Ohio. And as I drive by the faded barns, the cattle, and the one town with the giant McDonald’s and the adult bookstore, I start to laugh. I’m alone in the car. I’m supposed to be thinking deep […]

On Fencing Claims and Real World Benchmarks
I am so intimately familiar with fencing it’s not funny. I’ve had épées, foils, and even sabers at my house. I’ve been to Junior Olympics (as a spectator, of course). My washer has seen fencing jackets, knickers, and a various assortment of brightly colored and very sweaty high socks. I grew up with a wooden […]

Moonshot vs. Metrics
Some of you may know that last week I was on some college visits. I love this time of info sessions, tours, cafeterias, classrooms, and dorms. I even got to stay in a real dorm one night. Funny, it was not any dorm I had ever been in, not at a college that I had […]

Oracle’s SPARC T5 and M5 Benchmarks: Lather, Rinse, Repeat
I think I’ve said this before but one of my most absolute favorite movies is Groundhog Day. (Attention: spoiler is coming but since the fricking movie is from 1993 and most of us were old even way back then, I don’t think I will be ruining it for anyone.) Groundhog Day is an American comedy […]

Oracle’s New T5 TPC-C: Where’s the SPARC?, Part II
With Oracle’s new SPARC server announcement today, we are all still waiting in anticipation (take your pick of Rocky Horror or Carole King) for something exciting. The just released TPC-C benchmark result surely is not. Here are some reasons why: The performance of the Oracle T5-8 (even with the use of Oracle database partitioning) is […]

New Oracle M5 and T5 SAP Benchmark Results: No SPARC at all
If you were hoping for some Last Friday Night excitement from Oracle’s new SPARC servers announcement this week, we haven’t seen it yet. Oracle just this morning published two SAP SD 2-tier benchmark results, one on the M5-32 and one on the T5-8. The IBM POWER7+ with DB2 10 result from back in September was […]

Cisco Virtualization, the Price You Pay
We were lucky enough recently to have two comparable Cisco SAP SD benchmark results published. The results used pretty much the same hardware, the same software, the same benchmark kit. The big difference was that one was virtualized and one was not. The performance metric for this benchmark is the number of SAP benchmark users. […]

IBM, Easy Being Green
Sometimes you just want to dance to what’s trendy. Like Gangnam Style in July, or the Harlem Shake. Many organizations are like that as well. Let’s offer work at home (now let’s not). Free food in the cafeteria. Let’s be green now. In the latest news, IBM was just presented with a 2013 Climate Leadership […]

Oracle, Blowin’ in the Wind
Oracle announced this morning the general availability of the Oracle Database Appliance X3-2. It now supports virtualization. Hmmm, not exactly groundbreaking dare I say. Along with this Oracle announcement were many claims of bigger and better — than a previous version. With no real data and no real comparisons. And all I could think of […]

Oracle, I Knew You Were Trouble When You Walked In (to SPECjbb2013)
I’m always on the lookout for anything that helps me eat well. My newest interest these days is a type of rye crisp cracker that looks like cardboard, tastes a bit better, but has absolutely no fat. (They are really good if you put a huge slice of brie on them.) I also love reading […]
