Oracle this week set a world record TPC-C performance benchmark result for Oracle Database 10g running on Linux-based SMPs. Using NEC's Express5800/1320Xd server with 32 Intel Itanium 2 processors at 1.5 GHz with 6 MB L3 cache running on Novell's SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9, Oracle Database 10g achieved 683,575 tpmC (transactions per minute) with a price-performance ratio of $5.99/tpmC.
"More and more customers are turning to Linux to support their large-scale enterprises," said Richard Sarwal, vice president of Server Performance of Oracle Corp. "By showing outstanding Linux database performance on the largest SMPs, Oracle continues to prove that Linux can handle the world's toughest workloads."
