Oracle today announced a new world record TPC-H Three Terabyte (TB) benchmark for Oracle Database 10g Release 2. Oracle is the recognized leader in data warehouse performance, holding the records in the four largest scale benchmarks: TPC-H 300 Gigabyte; TPC-H One TB; TPC-H Three TB; and TPC-H 10 TB. Running on a single Sun Fire E25K server with 72 UltraSPARC IV+ 1.5 GHz processors and the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS), Oracle Database 10g Release 2 with Automatic Storage Management achieved a record-breaking performance of 105,430.9 QphH@3000GB with a price-performance ratio of $54.87/QphH@3000GB. Oracle Automatic Storage Management provides simplified database storage management and provisioning along with the ability to add and remove storage capacity without interrupting the database online operation. "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 repeatedly demonstrates its superior fit in demanding data warehouse environments," said Richard Sarwal, vice president of Server Performance, Oracle. "The addition of this benchmark helps to prove that no matter how much our customers' data warehouses grow, the Oracle Database will continue to deliver the best, most consistent database performance." This latest benchmark adds to the extensive list of Oracle Database 10g performance world records, including the recently published TPC-H 10 TB benchmark of 108,099.7QphH@10000GB with Oracle Database 10g Release 2 running on the Sun Fire E25K server. As the leading database for production data warehousing, Oracle Database 10g provides a single, integrated database engine for scalable and high performing data warehousing implementations. This new record-breaking benchmark highlights why customers choose Oracle on Sun systems to run very large databases. For more information on Oracle benchmark results please see its Web site.
