ORACLE ANNOUNCES WORLD RECORD PERFORMANCE AND PRICE-PERFORMANCE FOR SINGLE SYSTEM TPC-C BENCHMARK ON LINUX
Record Linux Results Demonstrate Lower Cost than Microsoft SQL Server and Further Validate Oracle’s Ability to Deliver Better Performance
Oracle Corp. announced the world’s best single system TPC-C Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) benchmark result on Linux. The Oracle result of 80,494.98 tpmC at $4.84/tpmC, achieved on a Hewlett-Packard rx5670 server with 4 Intel Itanium 2 processors, delivers higher performance and better price/performance than Microsoft SQL Server’s best result on 4-processor systems, achieved on the same HP server. This record result illustrates Oracle’s close engineering co-operation with HP, Intel, and Red Hat, and further validates that Oracle customers are better equipped to lower their total cost of ownership when developing and deploying enterprise applications using low cost Linux hardware, while preserving their data intensive IT infrastructures.
