Sun World Record for Largest Data Warehouse - One Petabyte!

Thursday May 15, 2008

Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 server, Sybase IQ, and BMMsoft Server managed one Petabyte of raw data. That was over 6 trillion rows of transactional data and more than 185 million content-searchable documents, emails, reports, spreadsheets and other multimedia objects! This even set a new Guinness World Record™.

This is twice the size of the largest commercial data warehouse known to date. The largest known database is Walmart which is said to have half a terabyte of data using the Teradata DB.

Triffids: Sun holds the official World Record 1000GB TPC-H benchmark.
http://blogs.sun.com/bmseer/entry/single_system_world_record_tpc

Your favorite IBM does AVOIDS (does not submit!) any large POWER6 single system benchmarks. why??????? Then have not even submitted a single 16-core p570. They have not submitted any 32-core or 64-core power6.
(ashamed?)

IBM used to publish single-system...

Disclosure Statement:

Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 118,573.3 QphH@1000GB, $23.38/QphH@1000GB, avail 09/10/08, HP Integrity Superdome 69,999.0 QphH@1000GB, $28.69/QphH@1000GB avail 06/18/07, HP Integrity Superdome 68,100.6 QphH@1000GB, $59.00/QphH@1000GB avail 01/18/06, IBM xSeries 346 QphH@1000GB, $32.80/QphH@1000GB, avail 02/14/05, TPC-H, QphH, $/QphH tm of Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC). More info www.tpc.org.

A 128-core (32-node 4-core) IBM Power 570 cluster (4.7 GHz, 64 chips, 256 threads) with DB2 is the best overall system at 10TB (343,551 QphH@10000GB, 32.89$/QphH, configuration available 04/15/08, Results as of 5/07/08). Note: Do not divide this result by 32 to guess at single node performance, do not compare $/perf between different GB tests, these are not permitted by TPC rules!

As I know 64-core Power6 system was released just some weeks ago. Month ago was published 64-core result at SAP-SD, I bet that 64-core result will be published very soon ...

>Sun holds the official World Record 1000GB TPC-H benchmark.
Doesn't impress. at Guiness SUN can manage Petabyte and at TPC-H only 1000Gb ...

The p570 4-core and 8-cores 16-cores have been out for a LONG TIME and have no-single-system TPC-H. And IBM didn't even cluster a couple of 16-cores together they clustered 4-cores together - couldn't scale?

'...Walmart which is said to have half a terabyte...'; don't you mean half a Petabyte?

Single 16-cores system can't get top 10 result, what's why IBM build clusters ... it's all clear with IBM.

>And IBM didn't even cluster a couple of 16-cores together they clustered 4-cores together - couldn't scale?

Is it joke ? Your didn't see real record 5x16-cores RAC result at SAP-SD parallel ??
