Abit off-topic, but I have no problems convincing the wife the safety in using a Mercedes to take the children to school instead of a Skoda ;)
Same comparison, would your wife accept you taking the kids to school in a rusty oldy Skoda, or would she prefer you driving them in your new Mercedes? If you cant convince your wife about that, you should probably be visiting my seminars ;) Daniel Sparrman Exist i Stockholm AB Växel: 08-754 98 00 Fax: 08-754 97 30 daniel.sparr...@exist.se http://www.existgruppen.se Posthusgatan 1 761 30 NORRTÄLJE -----"ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> skrev: ----- Till: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Från: "Schaub, Steve" Sänt av: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" Datum: 10/12/2011 13:41 Ärende: Re: [ADSM-L] Check signals on Power vs. x86...

A Toyota Prius easily beats a Porsche in a price / performance comparison. However, would you still buy the Prius?

I think he was looking for Power vs x86 in price/performance. I.E If you spend 50K on Power systems and 50K on x86 systems. which could produce more I/O throughput. (If not, that's what I'd like to hear an update on) >From what I remember from previous discussions, x86/linux would come out on top for pure price/performance, but managing many x86 systems vs a single/fewer Power systems certainly has some value. I'm sure there are many other intangibles when it comes to value.

Yes, it is. There are very few things I would say this about, but this is one of 'em. For a RHEL box to match the performance capabilities it would have to be installed on Power as well (which it can be). I think the evidence I've seen both in experience and raw numbers has shown the power boxes can sustain higher levels of throughput and performance. Because to get an x86 box to perform at those levels you would have to spend just as much, buying one really powerful x86 box, or spreading it across multiple boxes. All that said, if we didn't have a good AIX guy here, I'd go RHEL on multiple boxes, or on a really powerful x86 box. I can admin AIX, but I'm much more comfortable on Linux. So, as someone else said, it all depends on what you're good at.

I'm looking around for an update on my expectations that power hardware and AIX is more performant per memory/CPU/IO than x86 and RHEL. I know this topic comes up from time to time; I don't think I've seen it rehashed particularly recently. I'm an advocate of AIX for this, but I wanted to check signals and experiences, again. - Allen S.
