Oracle Announces Single System DW Benchmark

Oracle Corporation, announced it has achieved the world's fastest single-system TPC-H 3 TB benchmark result. Oracle9i Database, running on a 64-processor PA-RISC8700 750 MHz Hewlett-Packard (HP) 9000 Superdome Enterprise server, set a new single system performance and price/performance world record of 17,908.4 QphH@3000GB, delivering a price performance of $569/QphH@3000GB. TPC-H is an industry standard benchmark devised in 1999 to represent ad-hoc queries and is representative of real-world decision support and data warehousing applications. This latest record set by Oracle and HP delivers 90 percent more performance per processor for 42 percent less the cost per QphH@3000GB than NCR/Teradata's best clustered result of 18,803.6 QphH@3000GB, $989/QphH@3000GB on 128 processors. Notably, both Microsoft and IBM DB2 have yet to publish a TPC-H result of this size and magnitude.

As of January 21, 2002: HP Superdome Enterprise Server, 64 processors, 17,908.4 QphH@3000GB, $569/QphH@3000GB, available 5/15/02. NCR Teradata Worldmark 5250, 128 processors (clustered), 18,803.60 QphH@3000GB, $989/QphH@3000GB, available 7/27/01.
