DECss7, the Compaq implementation of international Signaling System Number 7 standard, is designed to be fully distributed across multiple computers, and offers scalability, high availability, and high performance to telecom equipment manufacturers and software developers. DECss7 is one of the major SS7 implementations deployed in more than 200 wireline and wireless networks worldwide. At SUPERCOM '98 in June, running on standard networked Intel servers, DECss7 clocked a record-breaking performance of more than 1,000 transactions per second In a very generic sense, the term Transactions Per Second refers to the number of atomic actions performed by certain entity per second. In a more restrictied view, the term is usually used by DBMS vendor and user community to refer to the number of database transactions performed on a single SS7 node.
