In my last post, I forgot to mention another MySQL related Sun Blueprints™ that was recently published: MySQL Guide for Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage Systems by Bill Aiken and Krishnan Shankar. MySQL and the Sun Storage 7000 is a great marriage because it delivers good performance, low cost, combined with ease of management. Configuring system I/O can be a complex and frustrating task even for experienced systems administrators. Start ups and smaller companies using MySQL typically just don't have the skill or time to tune the I/O interface of their database. Here the Sun Storage 7000 really shines by delivering great performance, ease of management, and lower cost that can take away a lot of the worry about managing the I/O performance of MySQL.
