TM1 Real-Time OLAP Completes 118,000 Queries Before Competitors Process Just One; Provides
Fastest Time-to-Results With No Waiting
WESTBORO, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 8, 1997-- Applix, Inc. (NASDAQ:APLX - news), the leader in real-time
OLAP, today announced unparalleled results for the Analytical Processing Benchmark-1 (APB-1), an industry-standard
On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) benchmark defined by the OLAP Council. The results, audited by the National
Software Testing Laboratory, verify that Applix TM1 is the best solution for customers who can't afford to wait for answers to
complex, business-critical scenarios.
The benchmark, used to test performance and scalability of OLAP products, showed that TM1 delivers first query results
625% and 2,300% faster than competing products from Oracle and Arbor Software, respectively. Despite running on less
powerful hardware, TM1 completed the first 118,000 queries before Oracle Express was ready to run a query. TM1
completed the entire benchmark before Arbor Essbase answered a single query. Additionally, in performing the benchmark
tests, TM1 created a database that was more than 100 times smaller than the database created by Oracle Express and more
than 300 times smaller than that created by Arbor Essbase. |
