Enterprise software giant Oracle yesterday announced a new world record TPC-C benchmark result for Oracle Database 11g  running on the Sun Sparc servers with CMT technology and the Sun Solaris Operating System, saying the result proved that the Oracle-Sun combination runs faster than IBM DB2 running on IBM's flagship Power 595.

The Oracle-Sun benchmark used an innovative combination of Sun's fast CMT servers to power the database, along with Sun's new flash technology to speed I/O.

Oracle Real Application Clusters allowed Sun and Oracle to scale performance on a 12-Node Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 cluster. Oracle Real Application Clusters is in production use at thousands of customers, enabling transparent scaling of real-world business applications.

With this benchmark, Oracle and Sun become the first vendors to achieve world record TPC-C performance results using Flash Storage technology. Using the Sun Storage F5100 Flash Array, Oracle and Sun were able to set the world record using eight times less hardware than IBM used for its largest benchmark.

It said that the Oracle-Sun configuration consumed four times less energy than the IBM configuration even though it ran 26 per cent faster and also demonstrated 16 times better transaction response times than the IBM benchmark.

Accoding to the software developer the Oracle Database 11g running on the Solaris 10 operating system achieved a record-breaking 7.7 million tpmC at $2.34 / tpmC.
