Nov, 2003 : HP and Oracle Top 1 Million Transactions

📅 November 6, 2003 - Hewlett-Packard (hp.com) and Oracle (oracle.com) announced yesterday that they have become the first companies to top the one million transactions per minute barrier on the Transaction Processing Council's TPC-C benchmark. The results were achieved running Oracle database 10g on an HP Integrity Superdome server and Intel Intanium 2 processors. HP and Oracle achieved 1,008,144.49 tpmC with a price/performance ratio of $8.33/tpmC.

The industry record results were 30 percent faster than those of the nearest competitive hardware vendor, the companies said.
"HP and Oracle offer the choice, scalability and flexibility to meet customer needs," said Rich Marcello, senior vice president and general manager for Business Critical Servers at HP. ?Today's benchmark result is a prime example of HP's leadership with Integrity servers running Oracle and of our joint work to build a platform to support our mutual customers' most demanding requirements as well as scale with them as their business grows."
According to the companies, achieving the benchmark reflects the power of servers running the UNIX operating system in "scale up" single server configurations.
"Oracle and HP together have always delivered outstanding performance and price-performance for our joint customers," said Andrew Mendelsohn, senior vice president of Oracle Database Server Development. "Today's results show that Oracle Database 10g scales to the highest level of performance on a single, large UNIX server and gives customers an excellent platform for deploying their highest performance database workloads."
