IBM (NYSE) today announced that it has achieved the highest TPC-C benchmark performance score ever achieved for an x86 server. The single rack non-clustered IBM System x(r) running DB2 achieved more than three million transactions per minute, which breaks the industry record set by the same IBM x86 system just eight months ago and extends the performance advantage over a comparable HP system by as much as 66 per cent.
“Leveraging significant investments in x86 technology, IBM continues to push the envelop in terms of innovation, scalability and performance,” said Alex Yost, vice president, IBM System x and BladeCenter systems. “At the end of the day, it’s about the customer, about delivering highly scalable, cost-effective, energy-efficient solutions that help clients differentiate themselves in their chosen markets.”
