PRIMERGY server takes industry’s Best Value crown in independent tests
TPC benchmarks validate superior price/performance results for PRIMERGY TX300 S4 server
Munich, June 25, 2008 —
Setting a new world record, the PRIMERGY TX300 server from Fujitsu Siemens Computers has shaved a huge 25 percent off the industry standard benchmark* for On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) in the efficiency bracket. The
TPC Benchmark™ E (TPC-E) is a new OLTP workload developed by the Transaction Performance Council (TPC), a non-profit corporation founded to define transaction processing and database benchmarks.
The new world record is one of the first benchmarks to be achieved using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 – available from August 30th 2008 – with the PRIMERGY TX300 S4. Built from the ground up to deliver optimum efficiency, lab results validate the PRIMERGY TX300 S4’s performance when coupled with SQL Server 2008, as the industry-standard server goes straight into the top spot on the TPC’s TPC-E price/performance tables. Benchmark tests produced a result of 317.45 tpsE – the number of transactions per second the server can sustain over a period of time – and a price per tpsE of US $523.49. This price per tpsE is some 25 percent lower than the second-placed system, available since April 8th, with a price per tpsE score of US $694.08, and 295.27 tpsE throughput.
“Our customers benefit directly from our investment in extensive testing in our benchmarking laboratories,” says Jens-Peter Seick, Vice President Enterprise Server Business at Fujitsu Siemens Computers. “Our focus on fine-tuning systems ensures that PRIMERGY servers deliver their best performance in the real world. The new TPC benchmark provides independent validation of our leadership in an area that is very important to datacenter managers and financial controllers alike: the industry’s best price-per-transaction figures.”
Tests were carried out in Fujitsu Siemens Computers’ benchmarking laboratories in Paderborn, Germany, under certified TPC conditions. The results were achieved with a server PRIMERGY TX300 S4 running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition, with 64GB RAM, and some 188 SAS 3Gb/s 73GB hard drives.
