Oracle SPARC Supercluster with SPARC T3-4 Servers Demonstrates Better Response Time and Low Cost Per Transaction with Record Breaking TPC-C Benchmark Result
Redwood Shores, Calif. – December 02, 2010
News Facts
Today, Oracle (www.oracle.com/) announced a world record TPC-C benchmark result for Oracle® Database 11g (www.oracle.com/database/index.html) Release 2 on a SPARC Supercluster with SPARC T3-4 servers(1), beating the fastest IBM TPC-C result with DB2 running on IBM’s POWER7-based server cluster(2).
Achieving 30,249,688 transactions per minute (tpmC) with a price/performance of $1.01/tpmC, the winning SPARC Supercluster with SPARC T3-4 servers consisted of 27 SPARC T3-4 servers with flash storage technology using Sun Storage F5100 Flash Arrays.
Oracle Real Application Clusters allowed the SPARC Supercluster with SPARC T3-4 servers to scale performance by nearly 3 times compared to the highest level ever recorded with the TPC-C benchmark while ensuring high availability and better response times(3). Oracle Real Application Clusters is in production use at thousands of customers, enabling transparent scaling of real-world business applications.
Oracle now holds the TPC-C world record in both major categories – performance(1) and price/performance(4).
Also today, Oracle unveiled the SPARC Supercluster based on SPARC T3-2 servers. Built using the same innovations that delivered the OLTP performance demonstrated in the TPC-C benchmark, it features the latest software and hardware from Oracle, including Oracle's Sun FlashFire storage, InfiniBand networking and Oracle's ZFS Storage Appliance products.
