Compaq ProLiant achieves 1 Billion TPC-C transactions-per-day

Houston 19 September 2001 A 32-node cluster of Compaq ProLiant DL760 servers has achieved a new world-record performance TPC-C benchmark result of 709,220.08 transactions per minute (tpmC) at a cost of only $14.96 per tpmC.

This result leads the industry for price: performance in the Transaction Processing Council Top Ten list of clustered TPC-C benchmarks (http://www.tpc.org ). This benchmark represents the equivalent of processing more than 1 billion transactions per day, or in real-world terms, more than triple the transactions handled daily, worldwide, by a large consumer credit card payment processing system.

The benchmark was achieved on scale-out configuration of 32 ProLiant DL760 servers, each with eight 900MHz Intel Pentium III Xeon processors, running Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition.
