In a comparison against Pentium II Xeon-based servers from IBM and Hewlett Packard, the ProLiant 7000 with four Pentium II 400MHz Xeon processors produced the best performance ratings for both a Windows NT solution and under Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. The milestone reached was 3,537 BRUs or 1,310 benchmark users for client/server solutions running Baan IV on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server with Service Pack 4 and Microsoft SQL 7.0 database. The Baan Benchmark Methodology (BBM) was developed to simulate customer-like situations in a realistic environment. The benchmark used the Compaq ProLiant 7000 as the database server and a combination of Compaq ProLiant 6500 and ProLiant 5500 Xeon-based systems as application servers. The performance test once again demonstrates the price performance advantage Compaq ProLiant servers provide for business applications running Microsoft Windows NT.
