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 […]

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 [...]

Cisco: TV Everywhere, Benchmarks Nowhere
No more having to remember when Glee is on. Or what channel. Or whether I should record it. I read this morning that Cisco has just announced a new video platform — one that will in the future enable the TV shows and movies you want to watch to find you via software that uses [...]

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’s Real Proof Points
Let’s focus today on just a few of the awesome proof points that IBM announced yesterday. What’s clear is that these are not just wild claims backed by no data. These are real, externally-reviewed and published leadership results across important workloads that you can really use as one source of input in comparisons of infrastructure. [...]

What’s Really Behind an Oracle “World Record” ?
It’s so sweet. Oracle is really trying. They realize how important it is to have industry standard benchmark proof points. They realize that these proof points should use important workloads. Like SAP. But that’s where it ends. In Oracle’s latest press release, they claim a “world record” on the SAP for Utilities Standard Application Benchmark. [...]

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 [...]
