Oracle Database 10g Sets New Record for TPC-H Three TB Benchmark
Achieves World Record Performance with Grid Computing

Oracle set the new world record TPC-H Three terabyte (TB) benchmark for Oracle Database 10g Release 2 using Oracle Real Application Clusters running on an HP ProLiant BL25p server blade cluster. With this achievement, Oracle sets up a new milestone as the fastest TPC-H clustered benchmark ever published, and continues to outpace IBM DB2.

With a server configuration made up of a 64-Node HP ProLiant BL25p cluster, each with one dual-core AMD Opteron 2.4 GHz processor and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Oracle Database 10g with Oracle Real Application Clusters achieved a record-breaking performance of 110,576.5 QphH@3000GB with a price-performance ratio of $37.80/QphH@3000GB.

"Oracle continues to build upon its preeminent record for setting benchmark records in all the leading TPC size categories," said Richard Sarwal, vice president of Server Performance, Oracle. "Our goal is to always provide customers with high-performance, highly scalable database systems and these record-breaking results are yet another demonstration of our commitment to that goal."
