Wasn't a massive test. Used Swingbench against 170g database. Quad core, 2gig.
Disks were 300g 15k fiber, dual pathed.
Swingbench seemed to be like 50 users running VERY poor queries, so this was almost 98% reads.
Ms response time was between 3-4, cache hits minimal.
Added EMC (1) 146g SSD into the disk group.
Response time hit.4 to 1 ms response, identical tests.
Want to see something cool, check out IBM XIV. I will grant you that unless your in Israel, there is no customer visits in your future... The "E" guy from EMC went off on his own and built it (IBM bought him). He's been credited for EMC cache algorithms which pretty much put the DMX in front of everyone else.
Obligitory droids comment. This is not new anymore than Microsoft inovating.
People used to use finger all the time to see what the sysadmins (myself included) were doing. Link your.plan to a massive core file, or several core files >> together....
I worked for a major online car advert website (at the time was in VA). This is during the MCI/Cable and wireless fiasco. No one was quite sure who owned what. It turns out that a back hoe killed a line in Austel (SP?) Georgia. After around 17 hours downtime (100% internet business) the line is back but the DL3800 on CW seems to be having issues. The 2am tech dropped something (grounding screw i think she mumbled) inside while checking it out and smoked it. When the MCI guy asked to speak to the senior technician, she stated, "I are the senior technician.."
At 6am the next tech was on shift and cycled a cascade router (think that's what it was, not my area) and we were back in 2 minutes.
I constantly get calls, "I can't play this game/load this software."
Tell people how to check thier proc. speed (also helps ebay fraud).
Tell people hot to check thier memory (vs. hard drive, see above posts).
How to read the bottom of the box thier software came with BEFORE they purchase.
Real world example: Microsofts latest flight simulater will not work on an 800 Mhz machine even after buying that Radeon 9600, removing 2000 for windows XP and upgrading to 512 ram. Expensive lesson. $5-$600 bucks later, you realize you could have overnighted a brand new Dell to fix your problem for $350.
Yes, sorry, was a line from Kinison. there was a debate about who's line that was. I was under the impression it was Eddie Murphy, with the whole "shoe" thing. I apologize Sam, wish you were here.
Sorry, I have to disagree. Those atronauts were furthering mankind and died in the pursuit. Most of the starvation could be solved if (not to make fun) we sent them luggage instead of food. They live in a desert with no food or water.. That's not a tragedy, that's natural selection.
I work at a large car manufacturing plant in Ohio. Managment, including those in IT, have very little, if any interest. We are pretty much an AIX/Linux house (we do have w2k, but i don't like to talk about it).
Oops, they were running MS. Please see netcraft.com

Also, please check out thier home page and view the graph that shows market share, comparing IIS and Apache, I think you will find the trend interesting.
Shaky setup? Perhaps you could ask the good people that have done it at one of the following...

Have to ask the question, how do you know you haven't been hacked?
Because places like this exsist really bothers me.
RL example. I have my yahoo account for spam/ebay//. whatever. I have my sneaky RR account that never gets spam. Started building an MI home 4 months ago, on my contact info, i put down my RR account. Withing a few days, i'm slammed with refinance, mortgage, home improvment, and contractor info. A few days later, viagra and breast enhancement...
A collects info, but will only sell to partner B, B gets the info, but only will sell to C,D.. Whenever someone says they will only share infomations with thier "partners" is bogus. The whole spam/marketing arena are "parters" eventually.

Playing my MMO's via email just would not be the same. Trying to lead a guy 2 days with a sniper rifle. I just can't see it.

Check netcraft, forbes runs on linux/apache... Probably trying to stay in SCO's good graces.. pansies.

www.netcraft.com Apache holds > 60% market share for web servers, while MS holds around 25. By your logic, Apache would be attacked more than IIS?
