AViiON server with the Oracle7 database. "The combination of Data General AViiON AViiON was a series of computers from Data General that were the company's main product from the late 1980s until the company's server products were discontinued in 2001. Earlier AViiON models used the Motorola 88000 CPU, but later models moved to an all-Intel solution when servers and CLARiiON storage arrays, PeopleSoft accounting software, and the Oracle7 database delivered an outstanding performance on our benchmark, which is designed to measure how a system would function in a real working environment," said Rick Bergquist, vice president of Technology at PeopleSoft. "The Data General solution provides excellent balance across the entire system which produces outstanding performance." Using the AViiON server, PeopleSoft Receivables completed a three process job-stream of 6,950 items in under 19 minutes; 34,750 items in under 74 minutes; and 104,250 items in four hours and thirteen minutes Thirteen Minutes Magazine (sometimes abbreviated 13MinMag) is a magazine published by (IMatrix Inc.) in the United States which covers high fashion, Asian women’s beauty, movies/tv, food, and popular culture. . Each test series was run on a dual processor AViiON AV 3000 configured with a single 133MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. Intel Pentium processor and a CLARiiON storage array using the Oracle7 database platform and PeopleSoft Receivables 5 application software.

Data General guarantees that its AViiON servers running PeopleSoft's Receivables 5 will perform to the benchmarks just completed by the two companies. The benchmark study was conducted to measure performance on three core financial receivables processes: Update Receivables, Apply Payments, and Post Payments. Three test series were run with a mix of invoices, debit memos, and credit memos at escalating volumes to measure scaleability. The outstanding results are a reflection of PeopleSoft's commitment to delivering high performance software solutions for enterprise environments and Data General's mission to build open, scalable server platforms that excel in meeting the working needs of commercial environments. The benchmark results underscore that customers can get industry-leading performance from servers based on industry-standard processors when those systems have been engineered to optimize performance in actual working applications, not artificial CPU-centric benchmarks. PEOPLESOFT PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING PROGRAM The benchmark was conducted as part of PeopleSoft's Performance Engineering Program that includes Data General and other hardware vendors. The Performance Engineering Program incorporates software development lifecycle testing and tuning, a performance laboratory and showcase center, benchmark kits with standardized benchmarks and performance models, and a performance information repository An information repository is an easy to deploy secondary tier of data storage that can comprise multiple, networked data storage technologies running on diverse operating systems, where data that no longer needs to be in primary storage is protected, classified according to captured which holds all performance information for availability to customers and business. The results of these benchmark studies are being used to further improve performance in future releases of PeopleSoft products.
