Oracle Database 10g On Linux Sets World Record

Oracle Corp announced a world record TPC-H 3TB benchmark result for Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Real Application Clusters demonstrating Oracle's ability to cost effectively manage large scale data warehouses on low-cost clustered Linux servers.

Running on an eight-node cluster of industry-standard HP ProLiant DL740 servers, each with four Intel Xeon 3.0GHz processors on Red Hat Enterprise Linux v. 3, Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Real Application Clusters achieved 22,387.9 QphH@3000GB at an unmatched price performance of $93/QphH@3000GB. This record Linux server result demonstrates the power of Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Real Application Clusters to deliver high performance, complex query processing on small, low-cost clustered servers. Oracle now holds world records for TPC-H benchmarks at one and three TB scale factors on Linux.


Web services, utility computing, .NET, CPU harvesting and distributed computing are just a few of the technologies that fall under the Grid computing umbrella. Gt04 -- a premiere enterprise Grid computing conference targeting industrial and commercial users -- will gather experts, and outline strategies and road maps for Grid deployment.

"Increasingly, companies are turning to Linux for their data warehousing projects for better performance at lower cost," said Richard Sarwal, vice president of Server Performance at Oracle. "This is our second TPC-H record for Oracle Database 10g on a Linux cluster, and it shows our commitment to scaling data warehouses for the enterprise."

In addition to the TPC-H one and 3TB record Linux benchmark results, Oracle also holds the TPC-C performance world record of 1.18 million transactions per minute (tpmC) on a cluster of HP Integrity rx5670 servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Real Application Clusters.
