Oracle has achieved a new world record TPC-C benchmark with its Database 11g Standard Edition One running on Windows on Dell PowerEdge servers. You might be asking what TPC-C is and wondering why you should care?
The TPC-C is an online transaction processing benchmark developed by the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC). Or in simple English, this benchmark is revered as the de facto standard for calculating performance and price/performance. When you want to get the most bang for your computing buck, this is where you go to get the stats.
Oracle was able to achieve a whopping 104,492 transactions per minute with a price/performance of $.60/tpmC (transactions per minute) with the Oracle Database 11g Standard Edition One running on a Dell server with one Intel Quad-Core Xeon 2.83 GHz processor. This is the best price-per-transaction-per-minute ever achieved with the TPC-C benchmark. Our friends at Oracle now hold the top four record benchmark positions in the Top Ten TPC-C price/performance category.
Dell has the top two spots and five out of the Top Ten TPC-C by Price/Performance (Version 5 Results as of February 25, 2009). Our core strength is providing great technology that’s powerful, reliable, flexible and cost effective. We’ve been a primary driver on the price-performance value curve for years and will continue to be.
