Schooner Labs Evaluation and Optimization of Database Technologies:
Flash Memory + Multi-Core Processors + Software

Dr. John R Busch, CTO and Founder

At Schooner Labs we continually analyze system architectures and evaluate technologies as we create our tightly-integrated appliances.  Our goal is to optimize the overall system, including both software and hardware, to maximize performance and availability while minimizing the total cost of ownership.  Our experimental methodology includes micro-benchmarks and system-level application benchmarks, in real life situations.  We analyze the resulting relative performance, capacity, cost, availability, lifetime, power, and total cost of ownership to drive our architectural and engineering optimization decisions.
