Oracle Sets TPC-C World Record in Performance

Recently, Oracle announced a world record TPC-C benchmark result for Oracle® Database 11g Release 2 on a SPARC Supercluster with SPARC T3-4 servers, beating the fastest IBM TPC-C result with DB2 running on IBM’s POWER7-based server cluster.

 

Achieving 30,249,688 transactions per minute (tpmC) with a price/performance of US$1.01/tpmC, the winning SPARC Supercluster with SPARC T3-4 servers consisted of 27 SPARC T3-4 servers with flash storage technology using Sun Storage F5100 Flash Arrays.

 

Oracle Real Application Clusters allowed the SPARC Supercluster with SPARC T3-4 servers to scale performance by nearly 3 times compared to the highest level ever recorded with the TPC-C benchmark while ensuring high availability and better response times. Oracle Real Application Clusters is in production use at thousands of customers, enabling transparent scaling of real-world business applications. 

 

Oracle now holds the TPC-C world record in both major categories – performance and price/performance.
