One possible approach to improve MySQL scalability is to identify and if possible eliminate hot locks inside MySQL. For locks that cannot be eliminated, there are ways to reduce the mutex hold times, or replace the critical sections with lock-free algorithms. It won't happen overnight, but it needs to be done to make MySQL more scalable.

Somebody asked me the other day, "How do I know when to use which Sun Virtualization Technology and how do I know if I can virtualize my application?" Well it depends on what problem your are trying to solve. The following are a some general rules of thumb that I use and I though I would share them with you.

So, which technology approach is best for a given use case? The answer is "it depends". It's important to carefully consider your workloads technical and operational requirements as well as your organization's technical depth and operational maturity.

Recent advances in multi-core chip technology, has led to a new breed of server systems that are offering unprecedented compute power resulting in breakthrough performance. To fully utilize compute power of these new type of systems, parallelism in applications is becoming increasingly important.

Did you know that you can create LDoms guest domain running Solaris, and then treat this guest domain as a cluster node? The technically inclined reader would, at this point, have several questions pop into his head. Read-on to get your questions answered!

h3. *[ZFS the second level ARC (L2ARC) |http://blogs.sun.com/brendan/entry/test]*
{quote}
by Brendan Gregg
{quote}
An exciting new ZFS feature has now become publicly known - the second level ARC, or L2ARC. This post will show a quick example and answer some basic questions.
The "ARC" is the ZFS main memory cache (in DRAM), which can be accessed with sub microsecond latency. An ARC read miss would normally read from disk, at millisecond latency (especially random reads). The L2ARC sits in-between, extending the main memory cache using fast storage devices - such as flash memory based SSDs (solid state disks).

Adam is writing about building a hybrid storage pool with both disk and flash which results in improving system performance, cost ... and pretty much every axis of importance.

{quote}
by Sean O'Dell
{quote}
We can use ZFS snapshots to save and restore filesystems from one Solaris EC2 instance to another. This functionality is very useful, for example, for saving user home directories, web server documents, MySQL databases, etc., terminating a EC2 instance, and then restoring these filesystems on a new EC2 instance created at a later date.

Have you ever wanted to experiment with zfs, but didn't have a storage array on hand? No worries - use files instead of disks to build your zfs test configuration.

A couple of weeks ago, OpenSolaris 2008.05, project Indiana, saw its first official release. I've been looking forward to this moment so I can upgrade my home server and work laptop and start benefiting from the many cool features. If you're running a server at home, why not use the best server OS on the planet for it?
