Actuate outperforms Crystal for Enterprise reporting on clustered hardware.Actuate Corporation (Nasdaq:ACTU ACTU Australian Council of Trade Unions ACTU AIDS Clinical Trials Unit (Washington University Medical Center, St. Louis, Missouri) ACTU Association of Catholic Trade Unionists ACTU Australian Capital Territory Union ), the world leader in scalable Business Intelligence Applications, recently announced that third-party interactive reporting tests have confirmed that Actuate 7 running on a server cluster of three machines supports 48% more concurrent virtual users than Crystal Enterprise 9 does in a six machine cluster of equivalent hardware. Actuate's ability to support a greater number of users using half of the hardware is an enormous economy that can be passed on to customers considering whether to deploy Actuate 7 or Crystal Enterprise 9. As repeated third party studies have shown, Actuate has consistently shown better performance on less hardware and cleaner linear scalability as compared to Crystal Enterprise. The benchmark conclusions continue to underscore The underscore character (_) is often used to make file, field and variable names more readable when blank spaces are not allowed. For example, NOVEL_1A.DOC, FIRST_NAME and Start_Routine. (character) underscore - _, ASCII 95. Actuate's ability to provide the most scalable enterprise reporting With the dramatic expansion of information technology, and the desire for increased competitiveness in corporations, there has been an increase in the use of computing power to produce unified reports which join different views of the enterprise in one place. solution in the industry: one that efficiently grows to meet the information demands of user populations of any size and maximizes the efficiency of hardware processing power in doing so. Actuate 7's clustering capability has no single point of failure, relies on no third party clustering technology and provides near linear scalability so that IT departments can easily plan for increasing user populations. The benchmark study was conducted by National Technical Systems (NTS NTS National Technical Systems NTS National Trust for Scotland NTS Nevada Test Site NTS NT Server (Microsoft Windows) nts Not the Same NTS National Traffic System (amateur radio) ) (Nasdaq:NTSC (National TV Standards Committee) The committee that developed the television standards for the U.S, which are also used in Canada, Japan, South Korea and several Central and South American countries. Both the committee and the standard are called "NTSC. ), a leading provider of quality and conformance testing Conformance testing or type testing is testing to determine whether a system meets some specified standard. To aid in this, many test procedures and test setups have been developed, either by the standard's maintainers or external organizations, specifically for for high technology products in a wide variety of industries in the U.S., Europe and Japan, which validated the test environment, gathered data using industry standard tools and procedures, and impartially formulated a conclusion based on the test results. NTS successfully executed an interactive enterprise reporting benchmark that measures the performance and scalability of Actuate 7 iServer and Crystal Enterprise 9 in a clustered server environment. The benchmark was conducted on identical hardware and operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. , with identical test scenarios, using a commercial benchmark driver. |
