Oracle Delivers Record Performance Result for a Two Processor Intel-Based System with TPC-C Benchmark
Showcasing the superior performance and price/performance of Oracle Database 11g Release 2 and Oracle Linux, Oracle announced a new record TPC-C benchmark result for a two-processor Intel-based system(1).
Oracle Database 11g Standard Edition One and Oracle Linux with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2, running on a Cisco UCS™ C250 M2 Extended-Memory Rack-Mount Server with two Intel Xeon X5690 3.46 GHz processors achieved 1,053,100 transactions per minute (tpmC) with a price/performance of $0.58/tpmC.
This result delivered more performance and costs nearly 11 percent less per tpmC than the nearest competition on a configuration utilizing identical Intel processors and memory capacity(2).
Oracle Database 11g Standard Edition One is an affordable, full-featured database for servers with up to two processors. It’s simple to manage, can easily scale as demand increases, and is upwardly compatible with other Oracle Database editions.
In addition to this new record result, Oracle is the overall performance(3) and price performance(4) leader with the TPC-C benchmark.
