Why Niagara is almost as good as Rare Steak.
This talk will look at Niagara from a different perspective;
That of someone who is more accustomed to working on the much
larger enterprise systems. We'll look at some of the strongest
and weakest points of the architecture, have a poke at one of
the boxes in real life and discuss why optimisation can have
such a positive impact on these (and other) systems.
I'll try to avoid spending too much time on the usual
'coolthreads/power/coolness/reduced AC/reduced space'
ranting... We all know how well these boxes stack up...
If there are specific aspects you might like to see covered,
whack them onto [EMAIL PROTECTED] and if I can, I'll
include them in the talk.
[Nathan will also be demonstrating this stuff on a T1000]
Notes
-----
* The security and safety folks have asked me to ensure that people
visiting the iForce Centre sign in when they arrive and sign out
when they leave. This is a safety issue so we know who is in the
building. The sign in book is at the front desk inside the glass
doors.
* The main doors lock at about 6:00pm, so we'll make sure that we
have someone near them to allow entry to the building.
