Benchmarks Demonstrate Power Of Compaq Proliant Server Running Win 2000 & Sql Server 2000 - Product Information

Delivering everything customers need to build a Windows 2000 infrastructure optimized for e-business, Compaq Computer Corp. released benchmarks that show the power of Compaq Proliant servers running Microsoft Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000. Industry-leading benchmarks for Windows 2000 were recorded on Compaq's ProLiant Server line running a broad range of applications. These benchmarks demonstrate that customers can deploy their e-business applications running Windows 2000 on Compaq ProLiant Servers.

According to Compaq spokespersons one of the benchmarks, achieved on a "shared-nothing" cluster of 12 ProLiant 8500 servers running Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, sets a new TPC-C record -- for any hardware, operating system or database -- of 227,079.15 transactions per minute at $19.12 per tpmC. This represents the first time an industry-standard system has out-performed all other TPC-C benchmarks. In fact, the Compaq ProLiant 8500 cluster demonstarted nearly twice the performance of the top competitors including SUN Enterprise 6500 and IBM RS6000.

The bencharmsk used are industry-standard tests performed on Compaq ProLiant Servers running Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, as well as Compaq/Windows 2000 server platforms running Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, messaging software, e-commerce software and Terminal Server from multiple Independent Software Vendors (ISVs). Some of the applications tested include: Microsoft SQL Server 2000, SAP ERP software, PeopleSoft ERP software, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft e-commerce software, and Microsoft Terminal Server.
