This video, one of many in the Red Hat Stories series, describes what benchmarking is and how it is useful to customers--and what the pitfalls can be. Nick Carr, Director of Product Marketing and Doug Shakshober, a Senior Consulting Engineer, discuss performance and the way that organizations measure performance with specific, single-category benchmarks. "... the benchmarks are really only a metric to try to show a customer how well an operating system and a solution will work for their environment." - Douglas Shakshober Find out more about the benchmarks and metrics Red Hat uses: http://www.redhat.com/rhel/details/benchmarks/
