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 […] Continue reading

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.

T4 MIA

I was recently looking to do a comparison of a couple of systems and figured the easiest data to look at would be SPEC CPU data. I mean it’s almost a given that even though these integer and floating point benchmarks can be, should I say, pretty boring (yawn), at least you’ll find what you [...] Continue reading

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 [...] Continue reading

Cisco: TV Everywhere, Benchmarks Nowhere

No more having to remember when Glee is on. Or what channel. Or whether I should record it.

It Really Does Take Two to Tango, Oracle

10x better, 95% reduction, 60x increase. I saw these claims recently in press releases from Oracle. Sounds rather nice. Until you start thinking about what a comparison really is. A comparison involves the consideration of two things. You must have something to compare to something else. In mathematics, an inequality is a relation that holds [...] Continue reading

Bad Boy, Oracle

When I first got my black lab, I tried to keep him off the couch. Covered it with books, told him a thousand times not to jump on it, bought him a beautiful soft bed of his own. After a week or two I gave up. His favorite location is now settling down on a [...] Continue reading

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 [...] Continue reading
