More on Product Performance:Delivering More Performance than Oracle-Sun at Lower Cost The highest of four new performance numbers on the TPC-C benchmark show SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition achieving a rate of 262,243 transactions per minute on a federated cluster of 12 ProLiant 8500 servers. That beats the record that Microsoft and Compaq set last February by 15 percent and, like that earlier measure, also beats the best performance results from Oracle and Sun, delivering nearly twice the performance of the largest Sun system. At this transaction rate, SQL Server 2000 could handle all of the e-commerce transactions that Amazon.com and eBay.com processed in 1999 -- and it could do it in just two days. Also among the four new results announced by Microsoft-Compaq is the industry's best price/performance figure for clustered hardware: $19.75 per tpmC. That's better price/performance than IBM's best DB2 cluster result and less than a quarter the cost per tpmC of the best Oracle-Sun result." JFD
