Yesterday, the SQL Anywhere team published a new TPC-C Benchmark Result, placing SQL Anywhere in the number 1 spot for price/performance ($0.19 US), at less than 1/2 the previous best result ever published! The benchmark was executed with a 750 GB database, 90,000 connections, and demonstrated a throughput rate of 112,890 tpmc (transactions per minute), and required no advanced configuration and minimal tuning of the database server parameters. It ran using off the shelf hardware from Dell, and had a total system cost of just over $20,000. The SQL Anywhere team is pretty excited by this result, as it demonstrates the out-of-the-box performance on standard hardware that we have made our mission for years. The Top Ten list is here: http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_price_perf_results.asp The complete details are here: http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_result_detail.asp?id=114112501 |
Just to add a link to Glenn Paulley's blog:
SQL Anywhere achieves world-best TPC-C benchmark
To cite from that:
IMHO, the conclusion within the last paragraph is even more impressing and important than the mere all-time record for price/performance...
