Quote of the Day

Published November 22, 2006 oracle 2 Comments

Not enough people are aware that the trouble at the high-end is no longer scalability as much as power, cooling and storage provisioning/connectivity.  Large scale commodity computing is the new high-end.

    I remember a Dell whitepaper on RAC on Blade, it was all about cooling and nothing about plugging the stuff in

    Sure. Try deploying, say, 250 servers in blade chassis and provisioning redundant FCP connectivity (LUN masking/ switch zoning, etc,etc etc)….

    Everyone loves their first commodity server, how many people love their 100th (with standard deployment models that is) ?
