Anyone want to be a test case for some hardware that I think will instantly resolve server performance for most servers?
By Andrew Pollack on 10/21/2009 at 05:11 PM EDTI'm talking with a company that makes a bit of hardware that isn't cheap, but that I think would potentially allow Domino servers that are I/O bound (like you, my friend up in Canada) to get as much as ten times the scale and performance without any other changes. I'm talking to them about potentially doing a white paper. The project would require a few sites willing to try it out and be noted on the paper with some performance results (nothing proprietary, just some raw data numbers).
If you think your situation would be a workable fit, reply here or email me. It would be helpful to know if you actually think you could get the project approved. Obviously, "household name" companies would be extremely well received, but are not required.
* No, it's not an approved project yet -- it's an idea we're kicking around. I want to see what the interest is.

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
