NEC Shatters Windows Non-clustered Scalability Record

NEC Corporation shelling back into the high-end scalability of Windows was involved in the vortex of this weeks first large-scale validation benchmarks show significant scalability to 64 Windows-based systems.

At the Intel Developer Forum this week, NEC announced the results from the Transaction Processing Performance Councils TPC - C test on the online transaction processing (OLTP), the scalability of its 32 processor NEC Corporation tx7 server. The database back-end is a single server tx7 NEC Corporation 32 Itanium 2 processors, pre-release code for Windows 64. NET Server 2003, the data center version, and pre-release code for the 64-bit SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition.

The system to achieve the fifth best overall results of non-cluster, five years later, Unix systems (both tied), and nearly doubled the performance of the previous good Windows operating system - one of the three U nisys two processor machine running 3 2-bit processors and software.

Real commitment, Microsoft - Intel solutions in the enterprise, the cost per person is lower than any of the transactions Unix-like system, a better performance than the original NEC / Itanium 2 / microsoft portfolio.

Tony integrated assessment models, senior analyst with the Department of Health Brown Associates in Port Chester recently said that NECs benchmark is an important Windows servers in the data center.

"Until now, the majority of Microsofts high-water marks with the cluster architecture, which has been Microsofts strengths, and said:" Tony integrated assessment models. "But there are also many real-world applications that do not scale, in such an environment." For integrated assessment models, a key promoter of the NECs result, the 64-bit versions of SQL Server Beta code, Microsoft is expected to deliver to the end of this year. "[Microsoft] is not aimed at the entire stack 64 Optimization, and this is true, but now, all these levels increasingly optimized for 64-bit." According to the documents submitted by the TPC of NEC, the system will be used on December 31, 2002. Microsoft has said that all the versions of Windows. NET Server 2003 and 64-bit SQL Server 2000, will be available at the end of this year.

NEC Corporation received early attention, the 64-bit Windows on a model, the 1999 16-processor system running prototype Itanium 64-bit processor from Intel. Japan-based companies has been quiet in the United States since then.

NEC hardware sales company in Japan, the use of science and technology. "NEC will launch this product in the world with Windows. NET Server 2003, large-scale enterprise computing, "the company said in a statement.
