Sybase iAnywhere Announces First TPC-C Benchmark Using SQL Anywhere Server
First TPC-C Benchmark With Total System Cost Less Than $20,000; SQL Anywhere Achieves Outstanding Price/Performance
Las Vegas — Sybase TechWave 2008 Conference – August 5, 2008 — Sybase iAnywhere today announced that SQL Anywhere® version 11 on Dell PowerEdge has achieved outstanding price/performance results by delivering an audited TPC-C result at a cost of $0.85 per transaction, demonstrating that high-performance database applications can be delivered inexpensively.
This TPC-C benchmark using SQL Anywhere achieved several records:
- Best price/performance of any system priced under $65,000
- Best performance of published TPC-C results for systems priced under $35,000
- First ever TPC-C benchmark with a total cost under $20,000
With a total system cost of $17,541 this TPC-C benchmark
clearly demonstrates that database applications can achieve high
performance on inexpensive, off-the-shelf hardware. The
low-cost system configuration was selected to demonstrate that SQL
Anywhere exceeds the high performance required by systems typically
found in remote offices, workgroups and emerging Web 2.0 and Rich
Internet Applications.
“Companies today are looking for full-featured, high performance software solutions on affordable, everyday hardware,” notes Chris Kleisath, senior director, Sybase iAnywhere. “SQL Anywhere Server required minimal tuning options for this TPC-C benchmark, further illustrating why SQL Anywhere is the database of choice for customers looking to cost-effectively develop and deploy out-of-the-box, highly scaleable, self-managing database systems outside the data center.”
