Entic.net

Small post here. Check out this document we found for tuning databases running on ZFS/OpenSolaris VPS.

We ran unixbench 5.1.2 on one of our servers. We wanted to see how it compared to some of the competition. The Linode and EC2 benchmarks were done back in December 2009, on the latest hardware that was provided. Our OpenSolaris benchmarks were done on a system we bought back in March 2009.

Our OpenSolaris VPS service is a niche market. Majority of the market is based on Linux and Xen (or other virtualization). Entic.net runs OpenSolaris whole root zones, nothing else. Here are some of the reasons why you might want to consider an OpenSolaris VPS from Entic.net and why WE are offering this service.

Couple of nice commands, hope this helps someone.

These graphs show the "opensolaris" search term popularity in Google. The spikes seem to correlate with the OpenSolaris releases: 2008.05, 2008.11, 2009.06. Over the last few months though, the searches seem to have gone down quite a bit. Perhaps further evidence EU's delayed decision is coming into play here.
