Aix vs Solaris (3)

Aix vs Solaris (3)Expensive comparison[i]We made a comparison between the current M5000 and p570 POWER6).The p570 was almost 50% more expensive than the M5000. Service & Support from IBM was also about 20% more expensive. This included all discounts we could get both sides knew about each other.[/i]Yes but...

Solaris vs AIX: Price/performance

IBM's newest AIX products feature the Power6, Sun's the UltraSPARC T2. It probably makes sense, therefore, to base a data center hardware cost comparison as much as possible on these two technologies. Comparable scaling is a key issue, but there's enough consistency about the benchmark results both...

Solaris vs AIX: The people problem

Please be aware, as I noted last week, that experience in both Sun and IBM environments has left me less than objective on the issue - and I'm therefore relying on readers to catch any errors I may make. That said, I think that it is only...

IBM Advanced POWER Virtualization and Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise

IBM's POWER5 technology feature, Advanced POWER Virtualization APV, was tested on an IBM System p5 p570 16-way server using PeopleSoft Enterprise benchmarks. APV allows the pooling of IT resources in a way that masks the physical nature and boundaries of those resources from users. The goal of this paper is...

Flying a Pilot BI Solution in a Virtualized UNIX Environment

Virtualized computing environments are certainly not new to SAS users who run SAS on mainframes. However, virtualization is relatively new to those who run SAS in UNIX environments and somewhat foreign to those who exclusively use PCs. The authors tested their pilot BI implementation using the SAS Enterprise BI reference...
