Oracle and Sun Claimed Faster than IBM

Oracle announced a new world record TPC-C results of a benchmark for Oracle Database 11g running on Sun SPARC servers with CMT technology, and Sun Solaris Operating System.

These results prove that the combination of both Oracle-Sun claimed to work more quickly from IBM DB2 running on IBM servers foremost, Power 595.

In a written statement explained, benchmark Oracle-Sun uses a combination of fast servers Sun's CMT to strengthen the database and the new flash technology from Sun to accelerate I / O.

"Oracle Real Application Clusters enables Sun and Oracle to consider the performance of the 12-node cluster Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440," he explained, as quoted on Tuesday (13/11/2009).

With this result, Oracle and Sun didapuk became the first vendor to achieve results in the performance world record TPC-C uses Flash storage technology.

Using Flash F5100 Sun Storage Array, the two companies can say the world record using a hardware eight times less than that used IBM at the time of its greatest benchmark.

The results produced are benchamrk Oracle-Sun configuration claimed energy consuming four times less than the IBM configuration despite running 26 percent faster. While the transaction response time 16 times faster than IBM's benchmarks.
