My work on MySQL

I went to a similar one last year hosted by mysqlcamp. If this one is at least as good as the other then I will be more than satisfied. Probably one of the best places for knowledge exchange.
I haven’t figured out any travel arrangements yet but I would be leaving from NYC.

I have been investigating some hardware configuration to run a MySQL instance with a current db of about 100GB. I found that Dell has added bigger and faster disks to their PE2950 server line. The downside is that you can only run up 6×146GB 15k sas disks instead of the 8×73GB 15k sas disks. So you gain more storage, lose 2 heads, but the price is the same.
Then I thought of adding an MD1000 to the setup, but even though you gain a lot more capacity you have to shell out almost double the cost to just get started.
Since I am loading the box with 32GB of Ram I have opted to go with the 6×146gb raid 10 vs. 8×73gb raid10 for more storage since a lot of our db is going to be in memory anyway.

Hi World,
I have been thinking about starting a blog for a really long time and never actually thought I’d have something worth writing that people would actually want to read. Until a close friend of mine told me that I have a great deal of experience in technology that would be awesome to share. He also believed that my positive attitude would reflect well in my writing. So here it goes… Soon I will post my first entry, about what I don’t know yet, but rest assured it will be about my experiences in technology.
