An Enterprise Database Performance Comparison of the Dell PowerEdge 6850 and the Sun Fire V490 UltraSPARC Server

Overview Computer processor vendors continue to bring out higher performing processors. The latest generation from vendors such as Intel and Sun feature two processor cores and a large L3 cache on the processor module. To test the performance of latest generation dual core quad socket servers from Dell and Sun, a performance test using the open source and freely available Dell DVD store database was conducted. Similarly configured Dell PowerEdge 6850 and Sun Fire V490 server were used for the performance comparison. The large (100 GB) version of the DVD store database was built with a leading enterprise database server and was configured with similar settings on both systems.
