" Not only does Frank know how to squeeze every last bit of performance out of PostgreSQL and Linux -- he is happy to explain his tuning methods in plain English. Working with Frank not only makes your infrastructure better, it makes your people smarter. He was a great help setting up our infrastructure. Highly recommended. "
