SQL Server 2005 SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) Three-Tier Results
On October 30, 2005, Microsoft released the highest performance SAP three-tier Sales and Distribution (SD) application benchmark ever on any Microsoft Windows platform: 93,000 concurrent users. The benchmark was run on SQL Server 2005, Windows Server 2003, HP Integrity Superdome, Intel Itanium 2—the first one to run the latest benchmark set from SAP version ECC 5.0. These results demonstrate the scalability and performance that customers will see when deploying SAP business applications on SQL Server 2005. The benchmark also shows the scalability that can be achieved with 64-bit SQL Server 2005. SQL Server also holds the best results for SAP R/3 Sales and Distribution three-tier standard application benchmarks in 4-, 8-, 16-processor servers.
