Siemens Primergy 870 Enterprise Server Sets Performance Record Running on New Intel Processors.AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 11, 1999-- Results provide the tpmC measuring stick for servers with new Intel Pentium II The successor to the Pentium Pro from Intel. Pentium II refers to the CPU chip or the PC that uses it. Code named "Klamath," the Pentium II was a Pentium Pro with MMX multimedia instructions. Xeon/450 processors Siemens Information and Communication Products LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control today announced record benchmarking results in transaction processing Updating the appropriate database records as soon as a transaction (order, payment, etc.) is entered into the computer. It may also imply that confirmations are sent at the same time. Transaction processing systems are the backbone of an organization because they update constantly. , Web performance and R/3 for its Primergy 870 Enterprise Server running on Intel's new Pentium II Xeon/450 processors with a 2-Mbyte secondary cache. With a throughput of over 2200 tpmC(a), the Primergy server's results will be a benchmarking measuring stick for Intel-based four-processor systems. "Siemens is pleased to extend our long-time relationship with Intel by being one of the first companies to benchmark our servers with the new Intel Xeon processors," said Erik Hansen, executive vice president of the Computer Systems division for Siemens. "We are even more pleased to once again show that the Siemens/Intel solution provides customers with the fastest possible combination currently on the market." The Transaction Processing Council (no vendor associations) measured a transaction benchmark TPC-C A benchmark that measures overall transaction processing performance. See TPC. throughput of 22,349 tpmC for the Primergy model 870-40 with a price/performance ratio of $25.84/tpmC, results over 20% superior to the previous Intel Pentium II Xeon/400MHz (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. . The operating system used was Windows NT 4.0 Enterprise Edition with the SQL server 7.0 database from Microsoft. Acting as Web Server for Internet Service Providers Internet service provider (ISP) Company that provides Internet connections and services to individuals and organizations. For a monthly fee, ISPs provide computer users with a connection to their site (see data transmission), as well as a log-in name and password. , the Primergy 870-40 with Xeon processors achieved a "SPECweb96" benchmark of more than 10,000 Web operations per second (SPECweb96 = 10,212 ops/sec.), surpassing the previous best result performance of a four-processor system by over 10%. The test was performed using the Solaris 7 operating system with the Sun Web Server 2.1 and the "Solaris for ISP (1) See in-system programmable. (2) (Internet Service Provider) An organization that provides access to the Internet. Connection to the user is provided via dial-up, ISDN, cable, DSL and T1/T3 lines. " package.
