Sybase has set a new record for the TPC-H benchmark at the 1TB scale factor.

SAP subsidiary Sybase has set a new record for the TPC-H benchmark at the 1TB scale factor. The benchmark simulates workloads pertaining to decision support systems and business intelligence.

The record was set by Sybase IQ 15.2 under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 on an IBM POWER 780 Model 9179-MHB server. With a result of 64,747 QphH, it exceeded the performance of any other non-clustered system at the 1TB scale factor, despite having half as many cores as the previous leader.

It also improved on the price-performance of the previous leader by 40%.

"Today's forward-looking enterprises are searching for the fastest and most affordable ways to deliver results for mission-critical analytics, business intelligence and reporting solutions," said Dereck Daymond, Sybase's managing director for Australia and New Zealand. 

"This benchmark demonstrates that Sybase IQ, combined with IBM Power systems, delivers on Sybase IQ's promise of unsurpassed analytics speeds for complex queries on terabytes of data, delivered to thousands of users at exactly the right time," he added.
