Hi all,

I had a few machines at home that I brushed off and setup a lab with
slamd for stress testing and profiling the server.  Here's the site:

http://slamd.homeip.net

Use the guest/guest account to get in and look around.  If you need an
account to run some tests on the benchmark machines please let me know I
can set it up or you.

Yes the UI is running off a slow uplink but rest assured the internal
LAN is on a 1Gb switch so the tests are not hindered by the outward UI.

A description of this setup is available on the confluence Wiki here:

http://docs.safehaus.org/display/APACHEDS/Benchmarks

I already did some tests using a custom bind script which I'll report in
a little while.

Alex

I recently had the privilege of checking out the SLAMD lab for ApacheDS in
person.  I felt like I walked into the engine room on the Enterprise. ;)

Alex needs to work on his Scottish brogue to make it an immersion
experience.  :D

Aye I'm giving her all she's got.

BTW it looks like SUN is unhappy though.  They just contacted me and
told me to cease and desist from using SUN DS for these tests.  They
were not happy with the results it seems.

Oh well.

Yeah, when I benchmarked SUN DS for Symas, we got the same response from
them.  If you closely read their obnoxious license, it clearly states you
are not allowed to publish benchmarks of their product.  Same with
e-directory, IIRC.

RedHat has expressed interest in setting up a benchmark lab w/ Symas for
doing fair comparisons of FDS & OpenLDAP.  Maybe we could all work together
towards that end.

Heh yeah they basically told me the results were not good enough.

Yes that would be nice.  I'm interested in doing this.

Thanks,

Cool, I'll see what I can do to start a conversation going along that end.

BTW, Sun did publish some benchmarks of their own on how SunOne performs,
and we used those to compare to how CDS did compared to their product, and
there was nothing they could say about that. ;)


<http://www.symas.com/benchmark-auth.shtml> has a link to the Sun
benchmarks.
