The Oracle Database garnered another honor with the world record it set on the SAP Sales and Distribution-Parallel Standard Application Benchmark with the SAP Enhancement Package 4 for ERP 6.0 (Unicode). The performance was near linear in scalability.

This eight-processor world record result was set on a cluster of four-node Sun Blade X6270 server module nodes, each with two Intel Xeon x5570 quad-core 2.93 GHz processors and running the Solaris 10 OS.

The Oracle Database and Oracle Real Application Clusters achieved 13,718 SAP SD-Parallel Benchmark users, outperforming by 66 percent the previous best eight processor two-tier SAP SD Standard Application Benchmark result with the SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP (Unicode) held by Microsoft SQL Server.

In addition, this result also delivered exceptional one-, two- and four-node results on the Sun Blade X6270, demonstrating the outstanding scalability of Oracle Database and Oracle Real Application Clusters. When measured from one-, two- and four-node configurations, as documented and certified by SAP, Oracle Database with Oracle Real Application Clusters demonstrated near-linear scalability, achieving 3,800, 7,220 and 13,718 SAP SD-Parallel Benchmark users, respectively, while providing a high level of performance and availability. No other vendor has delivered results showing this level of performance or scalability on the Intel Xeon x5570 platform.

Furthermore, the single-node result with Oracle Real Application Clusters delivers more performance-per-processor and per-core on the SAP SD Standard Application Benchmark running SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0 (Unicode) and outperforms the best SAP SD two-tier results from IBM DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server with this benchmark result, utilizing the same number of cores.

According to Juan Loaiza, senior vice president, Systems Technology, Oracle, “Oracle Database continues to outpace the competition in performance and scalability. This benchmark demonstrates once again that Real Application Clusters scales performance for real-world complex business applications. Together, Oracle and Sun are a winning combination.”
