So a co-worker sends me an e-mail about Apple's just-announced Xserve RAID with 3+TB for US $11K. After looking at Apple's page, I poo-poo it because it's 7.2K spin ATA/100 drives, which I figure would lead to all sorts of problems. I see today in Computerworld that it's being touted as "blazing" with a max thruput of 210MBps. Hmmmm...I know the mid-range FAStT SAN we're looking at is rated at about 800MBps theoretical max.
Just looking for confirmation/rebuttal that I don't think it would be wise to load up an Xserve RAID with Oracle DBs -- even if the BAARF's nemesis is avoided. http://www.apple.com/xserve/raid TIA, Rich Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech Inc, Sussex, WI USA -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Jesse, Rich INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
