ZFS & SSDs. Database Performance tuning webcast
Over the last month I have been working on a ZFS Tuning for Databases presentation. I'll be presenting it live tomorrow 8/26/09 at 8 AM PST.
This based on a lot of work done at Sun as well as in the community. With the massive adoption of Solid State Devices (SSDs) (thank you iPOD) the storage market just got a whole lot more interesting. Incorporating SSDs into a ZFS pool is a breeze. This presentation is meant to help you get the best out of the ZFS + SSD combination for databases. We look into Postgres, MySQL and Oracle. I also provide a quick into into Sun's unified storage 7000 series systems.

Proud to work for Sun
I have a new role at Sun. I'm a Technical Evangelist in the Sun Startup Essentials team. This is a dedicated team at Sun that helps interesting new startups navigate the complicated world of Web 2.0 technology and funding. If you are a Startup you need to apply to become part of this program. We provide some excellent benefits.
I was at the Hatchery Event in NY last week. I met some wonder folks there and had a great time.
Lynn Brewer is the the real Enron whistleblower. She is the founder of the The Integrity Institute As the name suggest they provide Advanced Corporate Performance Analytics with more than just financials as the basis. She presented her vision during the event and I had an opportunity to talk with her after the event. She mentioned that Sun is among the best in the industry in her integrity rating. Wow! I felt so proud to be part of such a company in these days when we hear of so many scandals.
I also met Jonathan Askin who is the Director of Brooklyn Law School for Incubator & Policy Clinic. He also confirmed that Sun almost always is on the right side on the policy issues. Yes, I do work for a company that not only "Does no evil" but also wants to "Do good" for the right reasons.

I met Vinod Khosla
During JavaOne this year Rags and I went to a nice South Indian restaurant, Dosa, in San Francisco. This is an excellent place by the way and I highly recommend it. I was looking around and it seemed like we were the only PIO (Persons on Indian Origin) around until I spotted a family sitting just behind us. On closer observation it looked like someone familiar. I checked twice and quitely told Rags, "Hey Vinod Khosla is sitting behind us?"
We debated for a few minutes if it was right to intrude but better wisdom prevailed and we walked up to him and actually shook his hands.He was pretty gracious and freely chatted with us. This was definitely one of the highlights of JavaOne for me.
For those of you who do not know Vinod, he is the founder of Sun He is also the founder of Daisy Systems and Khosla Ventures and help start companies like Juniper networks and Excite etc. See his WikiPedia Entry for more details.

Takin' the plunge
Its 'bout time! Have been thinking about blogging for a while. In fact its been over 3 months since I set up the account. So its 'bout time I get started. Here goes A little about myself. I've been at Sun for almost 13 years. Started here as part of the product team during the early days of Solaris x86. Spent a lot of time working with developers and Sun's large partners. Right now I'm part of the Tech Office in Sun's Market Develeopment Engineering organization. My group "makes strategic partners run best on Sun." We help port partner applications to our platform, performance tune their application, help partners size their application, benchmark their application and anything else that will help make Sun the best platform for our partners. Its an exciting job at Sun at an exciting time. One of my job responsibilities is to run the Tunathon 2006 program. We get engineers from the product team to tune partner applications. This gives Sun product engineering a view into how our partners use our platform and it gives partners access to the big brains at Sun. The last 5 months I've been traveling around the world (9 countries) and spoke to over a 1000 developers and sysadmins about the virtues of DTrace. Its been a great experience and I plan to document these in my blogs. On a personal front I'm a father of 3 (You'd never say that if you saw me!!!). My oldest is in fifth grade and is a Math wizz and is preparing for his first spelling bee. My 6 year old is into music, plays the piano and dabbles with composing songs. My 2 year old, is well..., very cute. My wife holds a post graduate degree in Electrical Engineering and she decided to stay back home to be with the kids for now. My Father retired as the Chairman and Managing Director of a Public Sector Company in India. OK enough about myself.
