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 […] Continue reading

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 […] Continue reading

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.

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. 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. […] Continue reading

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 […] Continue reading

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 […] Continue reading
