Summary: Still the Alpha reference for Solaris systems
Comment: The references to the Solaris OS and SPARC machines are of course out of date. Even so, Wong's methodology, analysis of performance factors, and depth of treatment are outstanding. As an Sun-certified educator, consultant, and field engineer, I use this book all the time. I have read it through six or seven times by now, and I still find (or recover) valuable information packed away in the corners. It's indispensable as a methodology reference for scoping systems, although it really should be read cover to cover at least once. Wong's breadth of coverage is absolutely impressive. When I want to show other techs a strategic way to approach system planning, I hand them a copy of this book, first thing. Read this book if you have anything to do with installing or maintaining Sun systems; then ask Brian Wong to please write the update!

Summary: Great book to figure out how to tweak everything Solaris
Comment: It goes into great detail about the smallest parameters for SCSI (and other types of disks), RAID architectures, memory and bus timing and much more. Learn why RAID may not be the best means of getting faster disk access. Figure out when you *shouldn't* upgrade that old server in favor of that shiny new one. Most explanations and suggestions are backed up with plenty of real-world data and graphs. It's goal is to help administrators get the most from what they've got and how to scale and appropriately purchase what they want. A very thorough and technical book, and it's rather current (Ultra Enterprise servers are covered throughout). In addition, it details (much) older systems and their architectures. Highly recommended reading for database, system, and web server admins.
Rating: 2
Summary: Could use an update
Comment: Some of the basics are still relevant but this book could use some updating since 1997. Also more information on how to figure out how the servers are performing would be nice.
