I worked @ Morino Associates with Dr. Artis around 1983-84. I was in TSO/MON development/support, he was Director of Analytic Systems (MICS). Anyway, I was there at work early one morning weekday and he happened to be there in the same room also working. Out of the blue he turns to me and says

Hi Phil, That is odd that there isn't more written about sibling pend. IDK if solid state disk suffers to the same extent as spinning spindles but I would guess not. Short description is that typical disk array configuration was to take the disks and carve them up into a bunch of smaller

Yeah, that "savings" seems unlikely given cost of cloud usage. But as someone noted, OpEx vs. CapEx, plus folks moving on before the excrement hits the rotating object, could explain it all. Rex Pommier wrote, in part: > I finally got a physical drive mapping from them and discovered it was

Not spending $400 million in one place to spend 2x, 3x... more in another is how I have seen the statistics work for some orgs, noting different amounts of spend of course. Please note that I have no insight into things at FedEx or how this was calculated. It will be interesting to see, if

That number was announced at their investors meeting 2 weeks ago. Trying so hard to get the stock back over 300. And trying to get a multiple like UPS. There’s no way they achieve 400 million annually. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Friday, July 8, 2022, 8:07 AM, Usher, Darrold
