NEC Solutions America Announces New TPC-C Benchmark Results on Intel Itanium 2-Based Server.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. Solutions (America), Inc., a premier provider of integrated solutions for the Connected Enterprise in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , announced today a new TPC (Transaction Processing Performance Council, San Francisco, CA, www.tpc.org) An organization devoted to benchmarking transaction processing systems. In order to derive the number of transactions that can be processed in a given time frame, TPC benchmarks measure the total performance of benchmark score conducted on a 32-way NEC server running Oracle(R) Database 10g Enterprise Edition, BEA Tuxedo A TP monitor from BEA Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA (www.beasys.com) that runs on a variety of Unix-based computers. Originally developed by AT&T and sold as source code, Novell acquired it, enhanced it and offered it as shrink-wrapped software for various Unix servers. (R) and SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) is a Linux distribution supplied by Novell, targeted at the business market. It is targeted for servers, but can be installed on Desktop computers for testing as well. New versions are released at an interval of 18-24 months. (R). Testing was conducted on a 32-way, NEC Express5800/1320Xd server based Refers to hardware or software that runs in the server. Contrast with client based. on Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processors. TPC-C A benchmark that measures overall transaction processing performance. See TPC. (1) is an industry-standard benchmark for measuring a system's processing performance based on an enterprise transaction model for handling orders. The new 683,575 transactions per minute (tpmC)(2) benchmark score and price-performance ratio of $5.99/tpmC was achieved, in part, by leveraging NEC's highly scalable, ccNUMA system architecture utilizing 32 Intel Itanium 2 processors. Oracle Database 10g is designed to take advantage of system and processor advancements such as those made by both NEC and Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking . Oracle's enhancements enable the database to scale to the next generation of 64-bit computing environments. Developed in close collaboration with Intel and Oracle, SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server for Intel Itanium Processor Family is designed to meet the highest requirements in terms of scalability and performance. Integrating BEA TUXEDO with NEC's highly scalable ccNUMA system architecture demonstrates the full power of NEC's solution in the rugged TPC-C test environment. Indicating the power these solutions can have in real-world enterprise solutions. "NEC's new TPC-C benchmark results are a testimony to our ongoing commitment to Novell's platform. We are proud to be the first vendor to demonstrate the scalability of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9," said Larry Sheffield, senior vice president of Solutions Platform Group at NEC Solutions America. "Our results prove that SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server with NEC's high-performance Itanium 2 servers exemplifies the scalability and performance capabilities in the scale up enterprise market." "This benchmark validates the value of Linux across the enterprise," said Richard Sarwal, vice president of Server Performance at Oracle Corp. "Clearly Linux can scale on large SMPs to provide customers with low-cost computing options even at the high end of the market."
