Scale SAP with Oracle Real Application Clusters

Oracle and IBM deliver record performance and scalability for SAP applications
Oracle has achieved a new world-record result on the SAP Sales and Distribution-Parallel (SD-Parallel) Standard Application Benchmark running on the SAP ERP 6.0 application. Running on a 5-node IBM system p 570 cluster with Power 6 processors, Oracle Database with Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) outperformed the previous world record and achieved the highest ever measured result on the SAP SD-Parallel Standard Application Benchmark. In addition, Oracle and IBM delivered an impressive 93 percent scalability when measured from when measured from 2, 3, and 4-node configuration demonstrating the exceptional scalability of Oracle Database with Oracle Real Application Clusters running on highly scalable SMP servers.

"The stellar SAP benchmark result clearly demonstrates that Oracle Real Application Clusters provides near linear scalability as nodes are added to the cluster, even for highly advanced applications such as those from SAP," said Juan Loaiza, senior vice president, Systems Technology, Oracle. "The combination of near linear scalability, and high availability on leading platforms such as the IBM System p 570 Server cluster provides an outstanding platform for deployments of SAP solutions"

BENCHMARK DETAILS

Running IBM AIX 5L 5.3 on a 5-node IBM System p 570 Server cluster, each with 8 dual-core 4.7 GHz POWER6 processors, Oracle Database with Oracle Real Application Clusters achieved 37,040 SAP SD-Parallel Benchmark users, outperforming the previous world record of 36,000 SD-Parallel Benchmark users, held by Oracle on the same platform configuration. This world record is the highest ever measured result on the SAP SD-Parallel Standard Application Benchmark based on the number of SAP SD-Parallel Benchmark users.
