Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

Sun Microsystems and Oracle announced a landmark data warehousing performance result of 59,435.7 QphH@3000GB at a price-performance of $114.00/QphH@3000GB, utilizing the Transaction Processing Performance Council's TPC-H SF3000 benchmark. This achievement demonstrates the performance leadership of the Sun UltraSPARC and Solaris on large SMP platforms and Oracle Database 10g with the most demanding enterprise application environments.

Sun's UltraSPARC IV processor-based Sun Fire E25K system outperformed the nearest competitor system by over 30 percent on the TPC-H composite metric, QphH@3000GB. The system, configured with 96 Sun StorEdge 3510 FC disk arrays, delivered 18 GB/sec IO bandwidth, showcasing the capability of Solaris 10 and the StorEdge 3510 FC array storage to deliver real-world IO performance.
