Tunables for the Sun StorEdge SAN Foundation Suite: Optimizing for Performance and Failover

Overview There are several areas of performance - failover times, SCSI queue depth management, and so on - that can be optimized by judicious and careful use of certain user-tunable kernel-level variables described below. Because many of these variables are interdependent with other variables and are global in nature, please approach any changes to them with extreme caution. Sun's SAN engineering philosophy is to provide a tested, optimized stack that operates with all Sun-sold storage devices in a seamless, interoperable manner, without requiring any user configuration of the driver stack. This is very different from other vendors, who often require that one edits their driver stacks to make them work.

Symantec probes Vista's defences

Earlier Symantec reports on the Vista kernel looked at the networking stack and user account control features of Vista. Vista includes several barriers designed to prevent malicious code from gaining access to the operating system core or kernel.

Sun's Solaris to get that Linux feeling?

But there's a barrier to code-sharing between the two projects: currently, the core 'kernel' software of Solaris and Linux is under different open source licences, meaning software from one project generally can't be moved to the other.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance.
