SQL Servers Sets World Record TPC-H Benchmark for Windows Platform

SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition running on Windows 2000 Advanced Server set a new performance world record on the Windows platform for the TPC's TPC-H benchmark, while far surpassing all other price/performance results. The result, 1,291.4 queries per hour on a 100-gigabyte (GB) database at $222 per query, was achieved on a Hewlett-Packard NetServer LXr 8500 with eight Intel Pentium III Xeon 550-MHz processors, with over 1.5 terabytes of storage. The performance of the HP system running SQL Server beats

 a Sun 12-processor Enterprise 4500 running Informix, delivering the result at one-quarter of the cost of the Sun system.
