RackSaver(R), the premier provider of high-density individual rack-optimized servers, blade servers and supercomputing clusters, today announced the Transaction Processing Performance Council's results for its latest enterprise-class server, the RS-2164/op-r, powered by the AMD Opteron(TM) processors (NYSE: AMD). The TPC-C benchmark results revealed a sizable gap in the price/performance ratio in favor of RackSaver when measured among the industry's top makers, including IBM, Dell and HP. RackSaver's RS-2164/op-r has a cost of $2.06/tpmC, which is more economical than the nearest competitor at $2.25/tpmC. TPC-C is one of the Transaction Processing Performance Council's (www.tpc.org) standard benchmarks for measuring enterprise server performance. TPC-C is an online transaction processing (OLTP) benchmark that simulates a complete computing environment where a population of users executes transactions against a database. The benchmark is centered around the principal activities (transactions) of an order-entry environment. "Our customers are getting a great value with excellent performance at a lower cost," said David Driggers, president and CEO of RackSaver. "This benchmark provides further evidence that RackSaver is the world leader in providing performance and price leading server solutions to the High Performance Computing market, and with these exceptional results, firmly establishes us as a leader in the enterprise marketplace." "The AMD Opteron processor is enjoying phenomenal success in the clustering and HPC markets," said Marty Seyer, vice president and general manager of AMD's Microprocessor Business Unit. "Quality builders such as RackSaver are realizing the benefits of the AMD Opteron processor as it further enables them to provide the highest performing products available to their customers."
