HP and Oracle Set Transaction Processing World Record - Break 800K Barrier
HP Integrity Servers and Oracle Database Establish Record-breaking
Benchmarks on Multiple Operating Systems Across Diverse Workloads
PALO ALTO, CALIF., JULY 30, 2003
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---- HP (NYSE:HPQ) and Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq:ORCL) today announced the world-record benchmark result of 824,164 transactions per minute (tpmC) on the Transaction Processing Council's TPC-C benchmark(1) achieved by the first ever system, clustered or non-clustered, to eclipse the 800K tpmC barrier. An HP Integrity Superdome server with 64 IntelŪ ItaniumŪ 2 processors 6M running the 64-bit HP-UX 11i v2 operating system, HP StorageWorks Virtual Array 7110 and Oracle Database technology outperformed all competitive offerings for transaction processing, while also delivering a top 10 TPC-C single-system price to performance ratio for high-end system of $8.28/tpmC.(1) "HP's strong alliance and strategic development with Oracle enables us to deliver performance that firmly establishes HP Integrity servers as the standard for 64-bit architectures," said Rich Marcello, senior vice president and general manager, HP Business Critical Servers. "With world-record performance on an industry-standard platform, HP Integrity servers offer customers the flexibility and value required for the demanding business challenges of managing an adaptive enterprise." HP and Oracle also announced the leading TPC-C benchmark result for a four-processor system. The HP Integrity rx5670 server running HP-UX 11i v2 and Oracle Database technology posted a result of 131,639 tpmC with a price to performance ratio of $7.25/tpmC,(2) beating all previously published UNIX based server results on transaction processing cost. "Oracle Database technology and HP Integrity servers provide a strong platform for running both memory and processing intensive solutions," said Andrew Mendelsohn, senior vice president, Database Server Technologies at Oracle. "Both companies are committed to providing a scalable, reliable and flexible platform to run demanding mission-critical solutions, while meeting customer requirements of performance and better business value." Record Result for Oracle Applications Standard Benchmark HP and Oracle also established a new world record for the Oracle Applications Standard Benchmark (OASB) on four-processor systems. The HP Integrity rx5670 server running HP-UX 11i v2 and Oracle Database achieved 6,440 concurrent users, with an average response time of 0.6 seconds.(3) The companies also produced the best ever four-processor OASB result for a Linux-based server, achieving 5,992 concurrent users, with an average response time of 0.6 seconds,(4) running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1 and Oracle Database technology. Both the four-processor UNIX and Linux-based operating system results exceed all other four-processor system results across all other architectures on the market. HP Integrity Servers Deliver Record-setting Performance "Customers are beginning to ask more of the standards-based server products they are installing in their enterprise data centers," said Jean S. Bozman, research vice president, IDC. "The migration to industry-standard hardware components is driven mainly by cost advantages conferred by volume shipments. But the ability to produce high-performance benchmarks and to support scalability of 64 processors, or more, on a server system that is based on industry-standard hardware components is noteworthy, and it should contribute to accelerated adoption of HP's Itanium 2-based Integrity servers for commercial application deployments." In addition to these benchmark records, HP Integrity servers, ranging from one- and two-processor to 64-processor systems, have established dozens of record benchmark results on multiple operating systems and workload categories. Record-breaking results range from the first 64-way SPECjbb2000 Java Server benchmark of more than 1 million operations per second to the fastest 64-way microprocessor Linpack performance and record-setting SPECweb99_SSL performance.(5) A complete list of record benchmark results produced on HP's Integrity servers is available at www.hp.com/products1/servers/integrity/performance.html.
