Based on our past experience, the participants are too busy running the
tests to spare any brain power for a training course.
Seriously though, with CacheFlow promising to register any time now,
almost all companies that have a stable decent product will be
represented. Personally, I am excited that we can provide users with
quality performance data that covers almost an entire industry.
The only big exception is Inktomi that has banned bake-off
participation. We are still accepting registrations though...
Novell is certainly very aggressive in encouraging its OEMs to
participate in public benchmarking. In my opinion, that's a good thing!
We have warned the Boulder meeting attendees that we may have a
situation when one software or hardware company has noticeably more
related entries than any other single company. The vast majority of the
vendors, including the representative from your company, were strongly
opposed to introducing any artificial participation limits or
boundaries. We have followed their recommendations, and registered all
companies that wanted to bring a product.
