Here are a few things that caught my attention.
First off, a great post showing the scalability of a 7410 with SAS Grid
Computing all the way to 900MB/sec+ of throughput through a single IP
interface.
SAS Grid and OpenStorage 7410
You'd think a CPU benchmark would not be speeded up by filesystem
consideration but think again as you see this detailed study of
ZFS accelerated SPEC CPU
Also keep an eye on MySQL best practice from Neel and his cool
mysql/innodb tools :
MySQL Inno DB best practices,
Inniostat &
MySQL Truss
It quite nice to see that all the engineering effort is really coming together now.
The ZFS we have today has made incredible strides in the last year.
