PERFORMANCE BRIEF

The NEW HP Integrity rx8640: Superior performance • #1 overall 16p performance result on TPCH 1TB benchmark • Almost twice as fast in performance than the Bull NovaScale 5160 16p • 45% better than NEC’s 32p Windows result while reducing price/performance by 60%

A full disclosure report describing these benchmark results has been filed with the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) and is available upon request. This report describes the benchmark HW and SW configuration in detail, provides costs, and lists the code actually used to perform the test. Similar reports from other vendors are the source of the price/performance comparisons provided above. Summaries of all tests are published each month by the TPC and on the Internet on the TPC's World Wide eb Server. With these benchmarks, customers can objectively compare the performance of different vendors' servers in specific areas.
