Wie man die T4 Crypto-Beschleuniger fuer Oracle TDE nutzbar macht, habe ich ja bereits in einem frueheren Beitrag erwaehnt. Daran hat sich nichts geaendert, auch der Patch fuer Solaris 10 ist immer noch in Entwicklung. Es gibt ja aber noch reichlich andere Verwendungsmoeglichkeiten fuer die Crypto-Hardware der T4. Da sich die Implementierung gegenueber frueheren CPUs deutlich veraendert hat, ist auch die Verwendung und das Monitoring etwas anders geworden. Daher hier eine...

Es gibt einen recht gruendlichen Leistungsvergleich zwischen M5000 und T4-2, den ich jedem nur empfehlen kann der sich immer noch fragt, ob diese TPC-H Weltrekorde wirklich moeglich sind: Den Testbericht gibt es auf der Benchware Webseite - dort unter "Benchmarks" nach T4 suchen. Und hier natuerlich der Link zu den TPC-H Ergebnissen. Interessant wird es bei 1000GB und 3000GB ;-) (Nein, ich wurde nichts ins Marketing versetzt. Ich denke nur, dass dieser Test es verdient hat...

There's a rather thorough performance comparison between an M5000 and a T4-2 that I can only recommend to anyone still wondering if those TPC-H world records are really possible: Find the test report on the Benchware website - look for T4 in the "Benchmark" section. And of course, check out the TPC-H results, too. Look for 1000GB and 3000GB ;-) (No, I didn't transfer to marketing. I just think this test is worth being mentioned on a blog that's about performance, among...

In an earlier post, I already mentioned what's needed to make use of T4 crypto acceleration for Oracle TDE. This hasn't changed - the patch for Solaris 10 is still under development. However, there are of course other usecases for hardware crypto on T4. Since the code path to this functionality has changed considerably from earlier CPUs, there have also been some changes in how it's used and observed. Here's a short summary of these changes. Using it: Feature / Software...

Webcasts, webinars, online forums, podcasts, etc. often deliver quite high-level information, such as strategy or product updates, or roadmaps. And that's very important to many people.However, take advantage of this rather technical webinar series, designed for Solaris developers, but certainly also useful and informative for system administrators, or anyone interested in technical aspects of Oracle Solaris 11. Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 8, the topic will be DTrace. And previous...

Not using Oracle Solaris Zones? I have to ask, why not? With massive adoption on Oracle Solaris and the additions to Oracle Solaris Zones in Oracle Solaris 11 the reasons to place your applications inside a zone just become more and more compelling. Now, there is one less reason not to move. It's there already as part of the product in Oracle Solaris 11, but for those of you with Oracle Solaris 10 systems you can now get access to the Oracle Solaris Zones Preflight System...
