This result sets a world record for a 4-way SD 2-tier result on Windows beating all other 4-way results. http://www.ibm.com/isource/cgi-bin/goto?on=IMNL504B22 DB2 UDB Takes the Database Performance Triple Crown When DB2 Universal Database recently achieved the #1 price/performance result for TPC-C, an even broader milestone was achieved. In the world of TPC benchmarking there are three achievements that are the most sought after prizes for proving performance leadership. The first is overall price/performance with TPC-C as mentioned above. The second is best single system (non-clustered)performance for TPC-C. The third would be best overall performance at the highest TPC-H scale factor(10 terabytes). IBM is the only database vendor to ever simultaneously hold the #1 result in all three of these "triple crown" benchmarks. http://www.ibm.com/isource/cgi-bin/goto?on=IMNL504B23 DB2 UDB Shatters TPC-C Price/Performance Record DB2 Universal Database has established a new world record for best price/performance on the tpc-c transaction processing benchmark.
