6920 Gets the Gold

The Sun System Handbook Team really likes this kind of news about one of our documented systems - the Sun StorEdge 6920:

Sun StorEdge 6920 System Gets the Gold in Midrange SPC Performance Benchmark
Some highlights:
 
  •     Results Knock IBM and HP Out of Performance and Price-Performance Competitions
  •     outperformed IBM's TotalStorage(TM) FAStT900 Storage Server by over 150 percent
  •     and delivered a 35 percent higher price-performance ratio
  •     Comparative results against the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array 5000 2C12D were also impressive

    This benchmark firmly positions the Sun StorEdge 6920 as the performance market leader in the midrange storage class and reflects Sun's commitment to delivering customer value across all its products and solutions.


    Our regards to the 6920 Product Team. Congratulations!

    The Equivalent of Subway's Jared?
    You heard about the guy who ate at McDonald's every day for 30 days?
    He has made a documentary called "Super Size Me".
    So I thought, maybe I'll blog a healthy McDonald's diet ( is it possible? ). I could become the McDonald's equivalent of Subway's Jared.
    Then somebody told me that story is taken. So I googled it. and Damn, here's the story Downsized at McDonald's in the Washington Times.
    The good news: I'm not going on a diet.
    The bad news: I'm not going on a diet.

    On a post script: My original Title to this blog was Downsize me. You know the anti Super Size Me.
