HP ProLiant DL385 G7 with AMD Opteron 6100 Series

processors achieves world record for 2-socket

price/performance on TPC-C benchmark

ProLiant servers give customers more value, performance for less costApril 2010

Executive summary

The HP ProLiant servers have done it again providing the lowest cost in performance this time with the

new ProLiant DL385 G7. With 705,652tpmC @ $.58USD/tpmC, the ProLiant DL385 G7 took the number one,

two-socket result for price/performance on the TPC-C benchmark.

This price point was delivered by a system that, with AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors and DDR3 memory

options, provides a solution for real cost-effectiveness and high and fast performance for high throughput

environments.

Key Take Aways:#1 2-socket price/performance

Result is in the TOP FIVE OVERALL for price/performance

HP holds NINE of the top TEN for 2-socket price/performance

Meets customers price requirements

What this means for customersWith the HP Converged Infrastructure as the building block for HP ProLiant servers, HP will simplify how

networks are built, managed, and secured to help clients reduce complexity, increase productivity, and use

more of their network capacity. By providing clients an open, standards-based choice to an industry that

previously had limited options, HP will breakthrough the deadlock that has driven decades of complexity andrising costs. With this Converged Infrastructure solution and the latest generation of HP technology, the

ProLiant DL385 G7 with 12-core AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors presents a compelling business plan

that delivers the optimal balance of performance, energy efficiency, and value.

Business transformation with HP Converged Infrastructure: HP is at an inflection point where our

technology is coming together to help our clients build the data center of the future, and it will be based on

the Converged Infrastructure. HP is uniquely positioned to build the Converged Infrastructure because HP is

the only company to offer a full portfolio of standards-based, integrated solutions, and services developed

specifically to solve the complexities of the data center. HP is also the only company that can deliver a single

common, modular architecture across the data center from x86 to Superdome. This means that companies

can use the same architecture to run and manage multiple workloads across servers, storage and networking.

This significantly reduces complexity, resource requirements, and costs.

Why the ProLiant DL385 is the worlds best-selling AMD Opteron rack server

The HP ProLiant DL385, also known as the versatile, dependable workhorse, is the world's best-selling AMD

Opteron processor-based rack server, maintaining its dominant share in the 2U, 2P market with new G7

benefits in its rack server format that allows for greater system efficiency, flexibility, and scalability.

Key Benefits

Eight- and 12-core AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors, the x86 industrys first 12- and 8-core processors,

pave the way for the most demanding server workloads to keep pace with rapidly increasing complexity.

These additional cores are matched with next-generation AMD Direct Connect Architecture 2.0, providing 4memory channels per CPU and HyperTransport 3.0 (HT3) technology to deliver up to double the

performance for demanding scale-out applications and virtualization projects

Ideal for virtualization with up to 24 DIMMs and four NIC ports

Industry-leading management enables powerful administration

Engineered for reliability and ease of ownership

HP takes NINE of the TOP TEN results for two-socket price/performanceHP ProLiant servers dominated the two-socket price/performance results for the TPC-C benchmark. Dell was

#11. In addition, the TOP TEN overall price/performance results show that HP took FIVE out of the ten

positions.**

Benchmark ConfigurationsThe HP ProLiant DL385 G7 was configured with two 12-core AMD Opteron 6176 SE 2.3GHz processors (2

processors/24 cores /24 threads), and 256GB PC3-8500R main memory. The server was running Microsoft

SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition x64 SP3 database and Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition

operating system. The DL385 G7 servers also utilized a SMART Array P410i SAS RAID Controller, a SMART

Array P411 SAS RAID Controller, and 2 X 72GB 15K SFF SAS drives in internal bays. The system was connected

to an HP 5642 Rack containing 5 xD2700 StorageWorks Enclosures with 10 x 120GB SSD drives and 115 x60GB SSD drives, 2 x MSA 70 StorageWorks Enclosures with 5 x 300GB 10K SFF SAS drives each, 1 x MSA

2324fc StorageWorks Enclosure with 16 X 146GB 15K SFF SAS 6G Drives, and 1 x MSA 70 StorageWorks

Enclosure with 24 x 300GB 10K SFF SAS drives. System availability date is 09/01/10.

Bottom LineAs the leading 2-socket, 2U AMD Opteron processor-based rack server, the ProLiant DL385 G7 is designed

with virtualization in mind, yet flexible and expandable to support any business need in many environments

from corporate datacenters to sophisticated SMBs. The #1 TPC-C results are proof points that the ProLiant

DL385 G7 is the ideal solution to meet business needs.

About the TPC-C benchmarkThe TPC-C benchmark simulates an Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) database environment. The

performance of a system is measured when the system is tasked with processing numerous short business

transactions concurrently. The TPC-C workload simulates a tiered environment wherein users interact with

web pages to enter business transactions. Transactions are entered by simulated users, business logic and

queuing of the transactions are handled by a middle tier server, and then the transactions are passed to the

TPC-C database server for processing. For more details, see

TPC Disclosure

A full disclosure report describing these benchmark results has been filed with the Transaction Processing

Performance Council (TPC) and is available upon request. This report describes the benchmark HW and SW

configuration in detail, provides costs, and lists the code actually used to perform the test. Similar reports

from other vendors are the source of the price/performance comparisons provided above. Summaries of all

tests are published each month by the TPC and on the Internet on the TPC's World Wide Web Server. With

these benchmarks, customers can objectively compare the performance of different vendors' servers in

specific areas. Results as of 04-15-10.
