Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Book contains a ton of useful information for performance fine tuning of Solaris systems which is an absolute must for anyone still managing a legacy Sun shop especially considering the lack of hardware we true UNIX-files have available to us this far into the game. If you are looking for ways to mitigate loss/risk, tune your systems to meet your engineers requirements, or if you just want to learn more about Solaris in general this book has it all and can be useful even as just an expanded learning tool vs. being explicitly used for performance tuning. Item arrived quickly and in advertised condition.
Very good theoretical overview of Solaris as it pertains to performance and tuning (P&T). Light on the emperical side, but thorough coverage of Solaris stats tools...covers what the man pages miss! High level coverage of capacity planning, mostly from a planning point of view; would still consider Brian Wong's book the authority in that subject. Nice adjunct for P&T's knowledge building for beginning administrators.
