High-End Enterprise Servers: ES7000 Benchmark Reports

Results

The definitive measurement of the Unisys ES7000 Enterprise Server is price/performance. Here is proof that you don’t have to pay the premium charged by UNIX-based server vendors to get the highest possible server performance.

TPC-E Benchmark: 6-core Intel® Xeon® processors 7400 series based system

The ES7000 Model 7600R Server turned in impressive results, with a number one performance result of 1493.42 tpsE and a best-in-class price/performance of $958.04 per tpsE. Performance is measured as transactions per second for the E benchmark (tpsE), while economic efficiency is shown as dollars per tpsE ($/tpsE) calculated as three-year cost of ownership divided by tpsE. The ES7000 Model 7600R used in the benchmark testing ran the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition (64-bit) operating environment, using a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition (64-bit) database.

First TPC-E Benchmark ever: 16 processor, Dual-Core, Intel® Xeon® MP based system

Unisys ES7000/one Enterprise Servers set the bar with the first TPC-E transaction processing benchmark. The ES7000 Enterprise Server turned in impressive results with performance reaching 660.85 tpsE and an attractive economic analysis at $1777.18/tpsE.  The result solidifies the ES7000 Server’s position at the top of its class in performance, economics, and scalability in the Microsoft Windows environment.

TPC-H Benchmark: 16 processor, Dual-Core Intel® Itanium® 2-based system

The ES7000/one Server, the only scalable platform to support both Intel® Itanium® 2 processors and Intel® Xeon® MP processors, sets another record by delivering highest performance of any 16-processor server and the best price/performance of any non-clustered server in the 3000 GB TPC-H benchmark category. This benchmark result proves that an ES7000 Server delivers superior performance at a fraction of the cost of other competitive platforms.

TPC-C Benchmark: 16 processor, Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® MP-based system

The innovative design and scalable architecture of the ES7000/one Server delivers record-breaking TPC-C benchmark with Windows and SQL Server. Unisys holds the record for best performance (749,839 tpmC) and best price/performance ($3.33/tpmC) of any 16-processor Intel® Xeon-MP-based system.

Microsoft Terminal Services

An ES7000/one Server with Terminal Server can support up to 710 Knowledge Workers, which is more than twice the number that can be supported on an x86 Windows system.

TPC-C Benchmark: Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition Database

On July 29, 2005, the ES7000 Server set a new standard for performance and leading price/performance for a 16-processor Intel®-based system running Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition database.

TPC-C Benchmark: 8-processor, 64-bit Intel® Xeon® MP-based system

The ES7000/600 Server recorded the best performance (251,691 tpmC) of any 8x Intel®-based system and the best price/performance ($3.64/tpmC) ever achieved by any system over a 4x.

TPC-H Benchmark: 16 processor, Intel Itanium 2-based system

This benchmark is the computer industry's standard method of measuring the performance of Business Intelligence solutions. With a benchmark score of 9,853 queries per hour on a 1000 GB database, you can see how an ES7000 Server delivers mainframe-class performance and scalability without the cost and complexities of proprietary UNIX-based systems for Business Intelligence applications.

SAP 3-Tier Standard Application Benchmark

With 26,000 concurrent SAP SD users, the ES7000 Server achieved a new all-time record for performance and scalability in a mySAP.com environment. This benchmark data offers enterprises relying on mission-critical solutions objective proof that there is no longer any performance advantage to be gained with higher-priced UNIX/RISC-based servers.

SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer and Demand Planning Benchmark

In October 2003, a 16-processor ES7000 Aries 420 Server running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 achieved the best performance ever recorded for a server measured by the SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer and Demand Planning (APO-DP) benchmark, processing 586,319 characteristic combinations per hour. According to previously recorded SAP APO-DP benchmark results, this latest ES7000 Server benchmark topped the performance of the previous SAP APO-DP record holder — a UNIX-based IBM p690 server — by 24 percent!

SAP Business Warehouse Benchmark

Results from the SAP Business Information Warehouse 3.1 Standard Application Benchmark certify that ES7000 Servers can deliver the highest levels of performance for large-scale SAP BW environments.

Siebel 3-Tier Call Center Benchmark

On April 21, 2003, Unisys recorded the most concurrent users (30,000) ever supported by a 16-processor system.
