Though the quantifiable benefits vary organization to organization, moving to a new platform featuring the latest technology can bring several potential benefits, including:
To show the performance gains that the new Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 with 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors could provide, we ran a TPC-C-like workload using the HammerDB benchmark to compare the Oracle Database performance of the new platform vs. a four- year-old HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 with older Intel Xeon processors. How did the two compare? Read on to find out, or head to the science behind the report for specific details about our testing.
We tested each server with an OLTP workload from the HammerDB suite of benchmarks. Their TPC-C-like benchmark gives results in two metrics: TPM and NOPM. Note: HammerDB results aren’t official TPC-C results and are therefore not comparable.
