Oracle Database 10g Sets New Record for TPC-H Three TB Benchmark
Today Oracle announced a new world record TPC-H Three Terabyte (TB) benchmark for Oracle Database 10g Release 2 with Oracle Real Application Clusters running on an HP ProLiant BL25p server blade cluster. With this achievement, Oracle continues its leadership position in this benchmark category, further surpassing IBM DB2. This latest TPC-H Three Terabyte result not only demonstrates the high-performance grid capabilities of Oracle Database 10g for large data warehouses, but also sets up a new milestone as the fastest TPC-H clustered benchmark ever published. With a server configuration made up of a 64-Node HP ProLiant BL25p cluster, each with one Dual-Core AMD Opteron(TM) Model 280 processor and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Oracle Database 10g with Oracle Real Application Clusters achieved a record-breaking performance of 110,576.5 QphH@3000GB with a price-performance ratio of $37.80/QphH@3000GB.
"Oracle continues to build upon its preeminent record for setting new benchmark records in the leading TPC size categories," said Richard Sarwal, vice president of Server Performance, Oracle. "Our goal is always to provide customers with high-performance, highly scalable database systems and these record-breaking results are yet another demonstration of our commitment to that goal."
"This historic benchmark is a testament to the combined excellence of the HP BladeSystem and Oracle Database 10g," said Rick Becker, vice president and general manager, BladeSystem and Volume Software Businesses, HP. "Customers can count on HP and Oracle to deliver an ideal platform for grid computing that is capable of quickly processing complex queries against large data warehouses."
As the foremost relational database designed for grid computing, Oracle Database 10g with Oracle Real Application Clusters provides a single, integrated database engine for scalable and high-performing grid computing implementations. This new record-breaking benchmark further illustrates why customers turn to Oracle and HP systems for highly-intensive computing solutions.
"This latest benchmark is a classic example of how AMD is continuing to deliver performance-per-watt, per-dollar leadership with Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors and Direct Connect Architecture," said Marty Seyer, senior vice president, Commercial Segment, AMD. "This solution from AMD, HP and Oracle strikes right at the heart of what customers are looking for when it comes to true grid computing -- energy efficiency combined with the performance and scalability needed to process rapidly increasing quantities of data."
