Informatica sets world record in data integration performance.Informatica This article is about US-based Informatica Corporation. For the unrelated information security consulting and privacy compliance firm, see Informatica Security. Informatica Corporation Corporation provider of data integration software, announced recently that the latest version of its PowerCenter data integration platform running on HP Integrity Superdome servers has achieved the highest throughput The speed with which a computer processes data. It is a combination of internal processing speed, peripheral speeds (I/O) and the efficiency of the operating system and other system software all working together. 1. results ever recorded in a published benchmark study of a data integration solution. Deployed on an HP Integrity Superdome server using the HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations. (operating system) HP-UX - The version of Unix running on Hewlett-Packard workstations. 1li v2 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. , PowerCenter 8 Advanced Edition delivered throughput increases of over two times its precursor precursor /pre·cur·sor/ (pre´kur-ser) something that precedes. In biological processes, a substance from which another, usually more active or mature, substance is formed. In clinical medicine, a sign or symptom that heralds another. , PowerCenter 7. This marks the fourth time in a row that a major new PowerCenter release has doubled its performance advance over its immediate predecessor in an HP test environment, and underscores the capacity of PowerCenter to handle dynamic growth and change in volume, variety and velocity of business data. As in previous Informatica and HP benchmark tests, the PowerCenter 8 benchmark included loading one-terabyte data sets while performing complex transformations. PowerCenter 8 running across 64 CPUs loaded 1TB into Oracle in just 45 minutes, compared to 95 minutes for PowerCenter 7. Additional tests that targeted flat files took just 32 minutes, a new world record based on published benchmarks. www.informatica |
