INFORMATICA AND SUN ACHIEVE RECORD-SETTING RESULTS IN DATA INTEGRATION PERFORMANCE AND SCALABILITY TEST
~ PowerCenter 64-bit data integration platform on Sun Fire E25K and Solaris 10 demonstrates superior throughput, near-linear scalability ~
INFORMATICA WORLD 2005, Washington – June, 2005 – Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA) today revealed new performance and scalability test results achieved during a series of data integration benchmark tests. Informatica’s 64-bit PowerCenter data integration platform running on Solaris™ 10 Operating System (OS), UltraSPARC® IV processor-based Sun Fire™ E25K server and Sun StorEdge™ 3510 arrays delivered throughput of one terabyte in approximately 37 minutes (1) – faster than any previously published data integration performance result.
Informatica PowerCenter on Sun also exhibited near-linear scalability across an increasing number of processors – highlighting the power of Solaris 10 and UltraSPARC IV processor technology, and demonstrating Informatica PowerCenter’s ability to effectively utilize each additional processor’s fully redundant processing power.
The performance results demonstrate unprecedented levels of performance and efficiency for the Informatica data integration architecture on Sun, critical attributes for companies looking to effectively manage and act upon growing data volumes quickly and accurately, while making full use of hardware investments. In fact, 67 percent of respondents to a recent survey conducted by Informatica at The Data Warehousing Institute’s (TDWI) World Conference last month indicated that performance and scalability was their top priority when selecting a data integration platform.
Informatica and Sun measured PowerCenter throughput against a variety of different processor configurations and data volumes. Data sets for the tests were generated by the industry-standard TPC-H (2) utility dbgen. The fastest load time for one terabyte of data was a record-setting 36.4 minutes – or 22.9 gigabytes per hour per processor – using a 72-processor server configuration.
Note:
Testing was performed using a Sun Fire E25K server with Solaris 10, Informatica PowerCenter 7.1.2 64-bit software, Oracle 9i 64-bit RDBMS, and a Sun StorEdge 3510 storage system. (PowerCenter on the Sun Fire E25K also loaded one terabyte of data into an Oracle-based data warehouse, while performing complex transformations in less than 45 minutes.)
