Anatomy of an Oracle Marketing Claim
Anatomy of an Oracle Marketing Claim
by Conor O’Mahony
Yesterday, Oracle announced a new TPC-C benchmark result. They claim:
In this benchmark, the Sun Fire X4800 M2 server equipped with eight Intel® Xeon® E7-8870 processors and 4TB of Samsung’s Green DDR3 memory, is nearly 3x faster than the best published eight-processor result posted by an IBM p570 server equipped with eight Power 6 processors and running DB2. Moreover, Oracle Database 11g running on the Sun Fire X4800 M2 server is nearly 60 percent faster than the best DB2 result running on IBM’s x86 server.
Let’s have a closer look at this claim, starting with the first part: “nearly 3x faster than the best published eight-processor result posted by an IBM p570 server“. Interestingly, Oracle do not lead by comparing their new leading x86 result with IBM’s leading x86 result. Instead they choose to compare their new result to an IBM result from 2007, exploiting the fact that even though this IBM result was on a different platform, it uses the same number of processors. Of course, we all know that the advances in hardware, storage, networking, and software technology over half a decade are simply too great to form any basis for reasonable comparison. Thankfully, most people will see straight through this shallow attempt by Oracle to make themselves look better than they are. I cannot imagine any reasonable person claiming that Oracle’s x86 solutions offer 3x the performance of IBM’s Power Systems solutions, when comparing today’s technology. I’m sure most people will agree that this first comparison is simply meaningless.
Okay, now let’s look at the second claim: “nearly 60 percent faster than the best DB2 result running on IBM’s x86 server“. Oracle now compare their new leading x86 result with IBM’s leading x86 result. However, if you look at the benchmark details, you will see that IBM’s result uses half the number of CPU processors, CPU cores, and CPU threads. If you look at performance per core, the Oracle result achieves 60,046 tpmC per CPU core, while the IBM result achieves 75,367 tpmC per core. While Oracle claims to be 60% faster, if you take into account relevant system size and determine the performance per core, IBM is actually 25% faster than Oracle.
Finally, let’s not forget the price/performance metric from these benchmark results. This new Oracle result achieved US$.98/tpmC, whereas the leading IBM x86 result achieved US$.59/tpmC. That’s correct, when you determine the cost of processing each transaction for these two benchmark results IBM is 39% less expensive than Oracle. (BTW, I haven’t had a chance yet to determine if Oracle Used their Usual TPC Price/Performance Tactics for this benchmark result, as the result details are not yet available to me; but if they have, the IBM system will prove to be even less expensive again than the Oracle system.)
Benchmark results are as of January 17, 2012: Source: Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC), www.tpc.org.
Oracle result: Oracle Sun Fire X4800 M2 server (8 chips/80 cores/160 threads) – 4,803,718 tpmC, US$.98/tpmC, available 06/26/12.
IBM results: IBM System p 570 server (8 chips/16 cores/32 threads) -1,616,162 tpmC, US$3.54 /tpmC, available 11/21/2007. IBM System x3850 X5 (4 chips/40 cores/80 threads) – 3,014,684 tpmC, US$.59/tpmC, available 09/22/11.
InfoSphere Training in Dubai UAE
Do you live in the united Arab Emirates?
Well we have a special training scheduled for the end of January, sign up now we still have a couple of seats remaining.
DW352 InfoSphere Warehouse 9 Component 29/01/2012 02/02/2012
Check out the details lined up for participants:
This course is designed to give you an in-depth knowledge of the components of InfoSphere Warehouse. The course will start with the SQL Warehousing Tool where, using the Design Studio, you will create both data and control flows and then deploy their work to the Warehouse Console. (There is also a two-day course, DWA52, that covers this same material.) That is followed by defining OLAP metadata after which you will deploy a cube to a Cubing Services server. (There is also a one-day course, DWB52, that covers this same material.) Finally, you will create mining flows that will invoke clustering, prediction, and association mining algorithms as well as mining flows that do unstructured text analysis. (There is also a two-day course, DWC52, that covers this same material.) This course is for those who are using IBM InfoSphere Warehouse and IBM InfoSphere Warehouse on System z.
This course is appropriate for students who are using InfoSphere Warehouse within the IBM Smart Analytics system and for students that are using IBM InfoSphere Warehouse and IBM InfoSphere Warehouse on System z independently.
Course Materials
The course materials address InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7.
Hands-On Labs
Fourteen labs are included to address InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7.

And the Captive Finance Provider of the year Award Goes to….
Can we get a drum roll please?….
…
..
.
Among the renowned finalists like: BMW Financial Services, Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation, Cisco Capital, Heidelberg Financial Services, Pitney Bowes, Volkswagen Financial Services UK, Xerox Financial Services and IBM Global Financing, Leasing Life Europe, an industry leader when it comes to leasing, awarded IGF the trophy – and honored IBM Global Financing as the Europe Captive Finance Provider of the Year 2011.
The independent judging panel honored IBM Global Finance in four specific areas:
1. Penetration of IBM’s sales (based on global 2010 performance)
2. Volumes written (based on global 2010 performance)
3. Efficiency with which IGF worked with IBM’s sales outlets
4. Marketing success, including product launches and advertising campaigns
The Panel also stated: “Being a successful captive is about more than driving sales and increasing the market share of one’s parent company. While these are, of course, important, a good captive programme enhances customer relationships by offering a combination of finance, physical product and service that is more than the sum of its parts. This year’s winner created significant business growth for its parent by providing clients with a full service package, responsive to the latest technological developments and to the demands of clients’ businesses. It is IBM Global Financing.”
