Sybase IQ 15.1 proves its mettle

In yet another display of industry-leading performance, Sybase IQ Analytics Server, the world’s #1 column-based DBMS, came out on top in the 1TB category of the industry standard TPC-H benchmark. Sybase IQ 15.1 clocked 102,375 queries per hour (QpPH) on an HP Proliant DL 785 G6 server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 on 6-core AMD Opteron processors as outlined in the TPC-H report. This is the #1 performance number in the 1 TB category among non-clustered servers on the Linux platform.

Sybase IQ 15.1 has been architected from the ground up to harness the power of the latest generation of multi-core chip technologies to deliver industry-leading performance. The state-of-the-art query processor inside Sybase IQ 15.1 looks for every opportunity to parallelize all operations in a query plan. The parallelization techniques cover both horizontal data flows, which would include scans and joins, and vertical data flows, which would include flows into consumer nodes such as groupings from producer nodes such as joins. In this benchmark, Sybase IQ, took full advantage of the 48 core AMD chip set in the industry-leading HP DL 785 servers.

This result, along with the strength of Sybase and HP brands and partnership, clearly demonstrate a differentiated value proposition in the data warehousing and analytics market. I believe that the Sybase and HP joint reference solution is yet another testament to the strength of open, flexible, best-of-breed approach that can not only perform well, but also, unlike appliance and other fixed-configuration options, enable customers to apply new technologies quickly and easily to assure that their analytic servers grow with their requirements.
