SOMERS, NY - 13 Jul 2004: IBM today announced breakthrough online transaction processing benchmark results for IBM's DB2 Universal Database software running on the new IBM eServer p5-570.
According to the Transaction Processing Performance Council, IBM's DB2 Stinger, the code name for the next release of its DB2 Universal Database software, established a new world record for performance on the TPC-C benchmark. Running on a 16-way server, DB2 Stinger surpassed competitive results on systems with up to 4 times more CPU's. These results confirm that DB2 is the fastest transaction processing database. (1)
IBM's DB2 database further demonstrated performance leadership for packaged applications with new benchmark publications on the SAP® Sales and Distribution (SD) Standard Application Benchmark. DB2 shattered the best Oracle result by 73 percent in an 8-CPU configuration and by 76 percent in a 16-CPU configuration. (2)
Today's news reinforces IBM's DB2 database performance leadership with IBM eServer pSeries. DB2 is the only database product to ever hold world record results in each of the most recognized database benchmarks:
- Fastest OLTP database -- achieving the highest scalability of any transaction processing system ever demonstrated on a single server using half the processors of the best non-clustered Oracle TPC-C result and 34 percent better price/performance. (3)
- Most powerful performance for business intelligence -- demonstrating 26 percent better complex query performance at the largest published TPC-H database size of 10 terabytes. (4)
- Most scaleable ERP database -- supporting 83 percent more users than the closest competitor on SAP SD. (5)
DB2 Stinger is currently in beta and expected to be available later this year. The new offering delivers 200 new features that simplify database administration, streamline application development, and increase performance and scalability. DB2 Stinger delivers industry leading technologies like autonomic database management, developer productivity, three-dimensional geospatial data that is "location" and "time-and-space" aware, and is setting the standard for the next generation of information management deployments.
