Intel customers demand answers on server IO

Comments

VMMark Data shows the IO

Type in "vmmark results" in google, and go to the results page. Check the Dell R900 versus the Dell 2950iii findings. Then go to Dell's page and compare pricing. Interesting, eh? The server with twice the CPU's is only perhaps 35% faster. Meanwhile, the software that is on it is licensed at $5500 per CPU socket. Kit and kaboodle, the R900 is twice as expensive per unit of VMMark than the 2950. R900 is clearly IO bound.

OK, but are his QUESTIONS covered by NDAs ???

It would have been a lot more informative to at least read the kinds of QUESTIONS this smart guy is asking, even though all the ANSWERS he's been getting are under NDA.

Informed sources say...

Typical Inq and Magee drivel... nameless quotes that we are supposed to believe to be real.
