Oracle database performance on Sun and Dell servers running Solaris We measured the Oracle database performance of the following two servers running Solaris: Dell PowerEdge R900 running Oracle 10g R2 Enterprise Edition on Solaris 10 and Sun Fire V440 running Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition on Solaris 9. We compared a typical existing installation with a typical new purchase configuration, to analyze the experience of staying with Solaris and Oracle but migrating from RISC to x86.
Migrating from Solaris 9 Enterprise Edition on Sun Fire V440 with Oracle 9i to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 on Dell PowerEdge R900 with Oracle 11g Complete guide and summary PT has performed hands-on testing and research and drawing on real-world experiences to document best practices and help systems administrators and database administrators simplify operations and take full advantage of new features in RHEL 5.2 and Oracle 11g.
Migrating from Solaris 9 Enterprise Edition on Sun Fire V440 with Oracle 9i to Solaris 10 Enterprise Edition on Dell PowerEdge R900 with Oracle 10g R2 Summarizes and then details the tested and validated approach that PT and Dell recommend for this database migration. Complete guide and Summary.

Responsiveness of Windows Vista and Windows Vista SP1 using Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 on common business file tasks We tested a total of four client-server OS platform combinations to give buyers a sense of the differences in response time they would experience when performing the same file operations on each.
Responsiveness of Windows Vista, Windows Vista SP1, and Windows XP on common home tasks We measured the responsiveness of three operating systems—Windows Vista, Windows Vista SP1, and Windows XP—when performing a set of common home tasks after rebooting, returning from standby, and in ongoing operation. We tested five systems: Dell XPS 600 (desktop), Dell XPS M170 (notebook), HP a1320y (desktop), HP d4100e (desktop), and Toshiba Tecra M4 (tablet).
Responsiveness of Windows Vista, Windows Vista SP1, and Windows XP on common office tasks We measured the responsiveness of three operating systems—Windows Vista, Windows Vista SP1, and Windows XP—when performing a set of common office tasks after rebooting, returning from standby, and in ongoing operation.

Performance comparison of five notebook systems in their out-of-box configurations We evaluated five notebook systems—the Acer TravelMate 4720, Dell Latitude D630, Dell Latitude E6400, HP Compaq HP 6910p, and Lenovo ThinkPad T61—on their wireless connectivity options, download and upload performance, and hardware upgrade times.
Performance comparison of three notebook PCs with Intel and VIA processors (full report, one-page summary) We tested the following notebooks: an HP 2133 Mini-Note PC with a VIA C7-M 1.20GHz processor, an HP 530 Notebook PC with an Intel Celeron M 520 1.60GHz processor, and an HP Compaq 6720s Notebook PC with an Intel Celeron 550 2.00GHz processor. We ran five custom consumer application tests.
Performance and energy consumption of notebook PCs with Intel and AMD processors (Vendor 1 report and Vendor 2 report) We tested two pairs of notebook systems. Each pair of systems came from the same vendor and used two processors: AMD* Turion* 64 X2 TL-60 2.0GHz and Intel Core 2 Duo® T7300 2.0GHz.
Performance and battery life ratings of two notebook PCs with Intel processors. We tested two notebook systems: Toshiba Satellite A200-03V, an Intel Pentium dual-core processor T2310-based system, and Toshiba Satellite A200-24V, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5250-based system.

SPECjbb performance and power consumption on multi-processor Intel- and AMD-based blade servers We tested the following single blades in their respective enclosures: Dell PowerEdge M905 (Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor 8354 [2.20 GHz, 75W]), HP ProLiant BL680c G5 (Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor E7310 [1.60 GHz, 80W]), HP ProLiant BL685c G5 (Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor 8354 [2.20 GHz, 75W]), and IBM BladeCenter LS42 (Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor 8356 [2.30 GHz, 75W]).
Total cost of ownership (TCO) of Dell, HP, and IBM blade solutions This white paper compares the TCO of the following blade solutions at acquisition and at 1, 3, and 5 years: Dell PowerEdge M1000e, HP BladeSystem c-Class, and IBM BladeCenter H Type 8852. TCO includes hardware, support, management software, IO virtualization, power, cooling, network ports, and data center space.
Windows Server 2008 SPECjbb2005 performance and power consumption on Dell, HP, and IBM blade servers We tested three dual-socket blade servers: Dell PowerEdge M600, HP BladeSystem c-Class, and IBM BladeCenter H Type 8852.
Intel Modular Server performance on simultaneous email, Web server, Java, and database workloads We measured the system performance of the Intel Modular Server built on Intel Multi-Flex Technology to compare the performance of each Server Compute Module in two states: with that one Server Compute Module running alone and with all Server Compute Modules running simultaneously.
