30 TB Benchmark Groundbreaker for Oracle and HP

First ever 30 TB Result Showcases Oracle's Superior Data Warehousing Capabilities

In the largest TPC- H benchmark conducted to date, Oracle on HP set the benchmark performance standard for large data warehouses. The result builds on Oracle's history of world record performance leadership for data warehousing.

"Today, many of the largest data warehouses in the world run on Oracle databases, including production data warehouses over 100TB in size," said Juan Loaiza, Oracle senior vice president, Systems Technology. "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."
