Today Oracle announced a new world record
TPC-H 300 Gigabyte (GB) benchmark for Oracle(r) Database 10g Release 2 with Oracle Real
Application Clusters and Partitioning running on an HP BladeSystem(1). With this result Oracle
Database 10g clearly outperforms competitive marks by IBM and Microsoft in this category,
where it currently holds the top three performance results. Oracle Database 10g is the
performance leader in three of the major TPC-H benchmark categories -- TPC-H 300 GB; TPC-H
One TB(2) and TPC-H Three TB (3).
Running on an eight-node HP BladeSystem cluster of HP ProLiant BL480c 16P dual-
core server with Intel Xeon 3.00 GHz processors, Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Enterprise
Edition with Oracle Real Application Clusters and Partitioning achieved a record-breaking
performance of 40,411.3 QphH@300GB and a price-performance ratio of
$18.67/QphH@300GB.
"HP and Oracle's long-standing partnership continues to result in record-breaking
benchmarks in the major size categories," said Richard Sarwal, vice president of Server
Performance, Oracle. "This world record result is evidence of Oracle's leadership in providing
customers with highest-performing, clustered database systems for data warehousing
applications."
As the leading relational database designed to meet the needs of grid computing, Oracle
Database 10g with Real Application Clusters provides the ideal foundation for high-performing
grid computing implementations. This new record-breaking benchmark further illustrates why
customers continue to trust Oracle for their data-intensive software solutions.
About TPC-H
TPC-H is a decision support benchmark consisting of a suite of business-oriented ad-hoc queries
and concurrent data modifications. The performance metric is called the TPC-H Composite
Query-per-Hour Performance Metric (QphH@Size) and reflects multiple aspects of the capability
of the system to process queries. More information is available at http://www.tpc.org.
About Oracle Database 10g
The only database designed for grid computing, Oracle Database 10g delivers superior
performance, scalability, availability, security and ease of management on a low-cost grid of
industry standard storage and servers. Oracle Database 10g is designed to be effectively
deployed on everything from small blade servers to the biggest SMP servers and clusters of all
sizes. It features automated management capabilities for easy, cost-effective operation. Oracle
Database 10g's unique ability to manage data from traditional business information to XML
documents and spatial/location information makes it the ideal choice to power online transaction
processing, decision support and content management applications.
