The Pythian Group recently conducted a short podcast interview with me to discuss a few topics related to Oracle Exadata Storage Server and the HP Oracle Database Machine. Sadly, the audio is troublesome in some segments, due to telephony issues, but in general I think you may find it informative. Here is the link:
The Pythian Group Interview: Kevin Closson on the Oracle Exadata Storage Server. Part I.

If you find the audio too hard to understand, the full transcript is available here:

yeah, but Christo, the audio was sufficiently poor at some points that the transcript is actually inaccurate. No big deal, but I think I’ll be on a land line, as opposed to my VOIP, for our next(?) chat.
Yes, landline or direct over-the-internet would be best. I find the quality to be higher when it’s digital-to-digital.
We can edit the transcript, I’ve listened to it many times, but obviously we missed some parts.
