Aug, 21, 2014 Hi-network.com

Cisco (UCS?) continues its tradition ofperformance and price/performance leadershipwith the announcement of aworld-record TPC-H benchmark at the 1000GB Scale FactorrunningMicrosoft SQL Server 2014.On august 20th 2014, the Cisco UCS? C240 M3 Rack Server delivered theBest Two-Socket Server Performance and Best Overall Price/Performance on the TPC-H Benchmark at the 1000GB Scale Factor.  

The Cisco UCS? C240 M3 Rack Server captured the number-one spot for overall price/performance on the TPC-H benchmark at the 1000GB scale factor with aprice/performance ratio of$0.73 USD per QphH@1000 GBand demonstrated304,362 queries per hour (QphH@1000GB), making it thefastest two-socket server running Microsoft SQL Server 2014.

The TPC-H benchmark evaluates a composite performance metric (QphH@size) and a price/performance metric ($/QphH@size) that measure the performance of various decision support systems by running sets of queries against a standard database under controlled conditions. As tested, the benchmark configuration consisted of a Cisco UCS? C240 M3 Rack Server equipped with 768 GB of memory and two 2 Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 processors. The system ranMicrosoft SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition and Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition.Check out the Performance Brief for additional information on the benchmark configuration. The detailed official benchmark disclosure report is available at the TPC Results Highlights Website.

Some of the key highlights of Cisco's TPC-H Benchmark results are:
