Oracle announced a new world record price/performance result with the TPC-C benchmark running Oracle Database 11g on Windows. Oracle said it now holds the top two record benchmark positions in the coveted Top Ten TPC-C price/performance category.

TPC-C is an OLTP (online transaction processing) benchmark developed by the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC). The TPC-C benchmark defines a rigorous standard for calculating performance and price/performance measured by transactions per minute (tpmC) and $/tpmC, respectively.

Optimised for small, medium and growing businesses (SMBs), the combination of Oracle Database 11g and Windows on an HP ProLiant server provides an ideal platform to meet these companies' individual business needs. This benchmark result further demonstrates Oracle's commitment to providing customers of all sizes unmatched price/performance and scalability, the company said.

The record setting benchmark was achieved with Oracle Database 11g running on a Windows-based HP ProLiant ML350 server with one Intel Quad-Core Xeon 2.66 GHz processor and an HP StorageWorks 70 Modular Smart Array.

Together, Oracle and HP delivered the best price per transaction per minute ever achieved for any TPC-C benchmark.
