Groundbreaking 30TB Result Showcases Oracle's Superior Data Warehousing Capabilities: Oracle today announced the world's first TPC-H 30 Terabyte (TB) benchmark, the largest TPC- H benchmark conducted to date. This accomplishment builds on Oracle's history of world record performance leadership for data warehousing, adding to its long list of TPC-H 300GB, clustered TPC-H One TB, TPC-H Three TB and non-clustered TPC-H 10 TB world records. Running on a single HP Integrity Superdome Server with 64 Dual-Core Intel Itanium 2 1.6 GHz processors, HP-UX 11i v3 operating system and HP StorageWorks arrays, Oracle Database 10g Release 2 achieved an impressive milestone result of 150,960.5QphH@30000GB with a price-performance ratio of $ 46.49/QphH@30000GB. As the first 30 TB result, this benchmark signifies Oracle's commitment to continued leadership by raising the industry standard bar for large-scale data warehousing performance. "Oracle's consistent leadership and innovation in data warehousing performance is highlighted by this first 30TB TPC-H benchmark result," said Juan Loaiza, Oracle senior vice president, Systems Technology. "Today, many of the largest data warehouses in the world run on Oracle databases, including production data warehouses over 100TB in size. This 30TB TPC-H result demonstrates that Oracle data warehousing technology excels at running complex workloads on extremely large volumes of data." "HP and Oracle have long been committed to delivering powerful, highly scalable solutions to support data warehousing for our mutual customers," said Lorraine Bartlett, director of server planning and marketing, Business Critical Systems, HP. "HP Integrity Superdome servers are a key part of this new benchmark result and HP's leadership in business intelligence helps customers make more informed decisions that affect better business outcomes."
