Performance Expectations on a Shared Virtual Platform
Posted by on March 12, 2008
Some interesting discussion linked-to within this article on Storagezilla. people using Amazon’s EC2 platform are complaining because they feel they are getting less performance than they should.
Always an interesting point to bear in mind and useful in expectation setting for developers. You may want a dedicated CPU/core – but do you really need all of that CPU all of the time? in most cases I would guess not; and if you do need that level of performance – shouldn’t you be considering a physical platform rather than a virtual one?
Google Apps Goes After Hosted Sharepoint
Posted by on March 12, 2008
Interesting new Google beta here called sites.
looks to be a Sharepoint type setup for sharing documents and information and doing all that collaborative stuff thats so expensive and complicated on a Microsoft platform..
Check it out..part of the Google Apps “family” stuff like this is really going to start eating into Microsoft’s margins for the SME space and it’s easy to see why they’ve got their own competing products getting off the ground.
Wonder how much of this platform is virtual/web services etc.
