Oracle launched new midrange and high-end Sparc T5 and M5 servers this week with claims that the T5 models have set 17 world records and performed better than IBM’s Power 780 series. That set off a round of dueling statements between the companies. “Most Oracle benchmark claims are not audited or published, although they do have some industry benchmarks, including TPC-C,”
said IBM spokesperson Jeff Cross. “I believe some of the systems they cited aren’t shipping until September.”
Just an observation: when children start loosing an argument they sometimes result to name calling. So, because two independent analysts disagree with your position, you attack their credibility by claiming they are on IBM's payroll? Who's payroll are you on?
As for me, I have many technology clients. IBM, RedHat, QLogic, Correlsense, OpTier, ExtraHop, CA Technologies, and more -- and Microsoft and Oracle have been clients of mine in the past. I also do a fair amount of consulting/training in the Middle East. I am an independent businessman -- and I'm on my own payroll. You, however, collect a paycheck from Oracle every week...
Instead of name calling, let's get to the real point. You have an opinion, I have a counter opinion. I like this situation because it gives readers an opportunity to look at both opinions and decide who is right. It is a very healthy exchange of ideas.
Perhaps in the future you could show some maturity and leave the name calling out of your argument. It really isn't very dignified.
