RE: Oracle and IBM -- Grudge Match
Art, I don't believe that Amazon is talking about putting IDS in FPGAs as an 'appliance'. Different from the cloud, except that they're talking virtualization. But I could be wrong. It would be interesting to see a benchmark of IDS on an Appliance. Meaning that the engine is running on a FPGA which would give killer performance. One rumor I heard was that Oracle's Appliance didn't do so well at DW, so they tweaked it a bit for OLTP instead. But it doesn't matter. We'll never see an IDS benchmark. ;-) -G From: art.kagel@gmail.com Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2010 17:16:46 -0500 Subject: Re: Oracle and IBM -- Grudge Match To: im_gumby@hotmail.com CC: informix-list@iiug.org IDS has been on an appliance and is installable as an option on both the IBM and the Amazon clouds.

Maybe Jerry can get IBM to put IDS on the appliance instead of DB2... ;-) But hey! What do I know?
