Oracle Achieves World Record Result on SAP(R) for Utilities Standard Application Benchmark

Oracle today announced that Oracle Database 11g Release 2 and Oracle Real Application Clusters set a new world record on the SAP® for Utilities standard application benchmark (1).

This record-breaking result demonstrates Oracle's continued commitment to helping its customers get the best performance and scalability from their SAP applications.

Benchmark Details
The SAP for Utilities standard application benchmark simulates typical processes in a utilities company. The throughput of the benchmark for SAP for Utilities solutions is measured in utilities reference customers (URCs) per hour. A URC is the specific representation of a typical customer of a utility company in the utilities data model. In terms of this data model, a URC consists of one business partner with one contract account and one contract.

Oracle Database 11g Release 2 with Oracle Real Application Clusters running on a 2-node Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX300 S6 with Linux, each node with two Six-Core Intel® Xeon® processors X5690 3.46GHz processors, delivered a record result of 590,035 URCs per hour -- the highest score ever posted on the SAP for Utilities standard application benchmark.

When measured in a one-node and a two-node configuration, Oracle Database and Oracle Real Application Clusters demonstrated near perfect scalability of 1.98 by delivering 298,644 (2) and 590,035 URCs per hour respectively, while demonstrating outstanding performance and high availability.
