Microsoft and Unisys are the first to publish TPC-E benchmark results The new TPC Benchmark is an On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) workload developed by the Transaction Processing Performance Council. TPC-E is the successor to the venerable, but now 15 year old, TPC-C benchmark. TPC-E models an OLTP environment that is broadly representative of modern OLTP systems.
SQL Server 2005 Sets Record for Data Warehousing Performance on Microsoft WindowsSQL Server 2005 achieved the #1 price/performance result for 3-terabyte TPC-H non-clustered benchmark. This is a record breaking TPC-H three-terabyte benchmark for a database running on Microsoft Windows and an HP Integrity rx8640 Server. The recent TPC-H benchmark study with HP demonstrates how Microsoft SQL Server is able to deliver enterprise scalability and performance, enabling our customers to run large-scale, mission critical applications with the best price/performance. This result is twice that of previous SQL Server benchmarks achieved for the launch of SQL Server 2005, demonstrating that SQL Server continues to push the performance envelope. Furthermore, SQL Server 2005 outperformed the previous best result on Windows with a performance of 60,359 QphH@3TB (queries per hour) compared to the previous record of 37,813 with a much better price/performance of $32.60 compared to $38.00.*
