Server Sizings
Hi,
I am trying to size a system. We need to the KTPMCs statistics for the machine. I cannot find these stats anywhere. HELP!! The suggested machine is a :-
Hardwarev440
UltraSPARC III Cu processor2 @ 1.5 GHz
Memory 4 GB
10000 RPM Ultra 3 SCSI LVD2 @ 140 GB
disk drive
64-Bit PCI slot1 @ 66 MHz
System configuration card Yes
Remote system management ALOM pre-installed
Power supply 2 @ 1500 Watt
Operating System Solaris 9
I appreciate that KTPMCs are a reference for RDBMS data.... Any ideas or does anyone have any figures?
Many thanks!!

Hi there, I have looked at this site previously with the aid of the server specialist from my company, but we couldn't find the stats for this machine (or a similar Sun Solaris spec). If you can still help then please do!! Many thanks again.

The only TPC benchmark run on the V440 was TPC-H which is a decision support benchmark:

The V440 can be used for OLTP, but I beleive it is better suited for isp networking services or part of a horizontally scalable solution ( eg. cluster node ). I would consider a midrange system for OLTP work instead. The only Sun system I could locate on the TPC-C list is the E4500 which is currently EOL. The current next generation midrange system like the E4500 is the E2900, but it has a considerably higher price. What limitation do you have on budget etc.?
