Kevin Closson discusses SLOB Server CPU I/O Database Performance benchmarks

Slilly Little Oracle Benchmark (SLOB) Database Server I/O Podcast

In this Server StorageIO podcast episode, I am joined by @Kevinclosson who is an Oracle (along with other Databases) performance expert and creator of the Silly Little Oracle Benchmark (SLOB) tool. Not surprising our data infrastructure discussion involves server CPU, software, I/O, storage, performance, software, tools, best practices, fundamental tradecraft skills among other items.
