Performance results showcase latest achievement in ongoing effort to
further optimize performance of SAP solutions on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the industry's
leading enterprise Linux platform, has delivered top performance results
with SAP® Sybase® IQ 16 software and SAP Sybase Adaptive Server®
Enterprise (SAP Sybase ASE) 15.7 — both part of the SAP Real-Time Data
Platform. Red Hat Enterprise Linux with SAP Sybase IQ 16 set a Guinness
World Records® record for loading and indexing big data (1), and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux with SAP Sybase ASE 15.7 achieved the leading
four-processor Linux result on the two-tier SAP Sales and Distribution
(SD) standard application benchmark running the SAP enhancement package
5 for the SAP ERP 6.0 application (2).
As organizations face the complexities associated with ever-increasing
amounts of data, the collaboration between Red Hat and SAP is growing
beyond traditional ERP applications to help ensure critical
optimizations and performance advancements are applicable to the latest
database releases as well. Red Hat's efforts around optimizing
performance of SAP Sybase database solutions most recently culminated in
outstanding performance results, including:
-
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 with SAP Sybase IQ 16, set the
Guinness World Record for loading and indexing big data. Beating the
previous record of 14 terabytes per hour, the solutions achieved a
result of 34.3 terabytes per hour, equating to the ability to load and
analyze 823 terabytes per day of structured and unstructured big data
(1). This result highlights Red Hat Enterprise Linux's ability to
support a large number of critical I/O operations required during the
data-loading phase and highly efficient data processing required for
modern analytics software systems. It also highlights the fully
parallel data-loading capability and a next-generation column store
from SAP Sybase IQ 15, enabling this jump in data performance.
-
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 with SAP Sybase ASE 15.7, recorded
the leading four- processor Linux score on the two-tier SAP SD
standard application benchmark running the SAP enhancement package 5
for SAP ERP 6.0 (2). This result highlights the exceptional
performance of SAP ERP applications running on Intel Xeon
processor-based systems with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
These outstanding performance results signify Red Hat's ability to
optimize Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP applications, an ongoing
effort that has most recently focused on helping enterprises accelerate
and simplify business processes around vast quantities of structured and
unstructured data within the SAP Real-Time Data Platform.
"Today's speed of business requires enterprises to process and analyze
large volumes of data in real time in order to make better and more
informed decisions," said Jim Totton, vice president and general
manager, Platform Business Unit, Red Hat. "Achieving the Guinness World
Record result and the leading four-processor Linux result on the
two-tier SAP SD standard application benchmark is a testament to the
ability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux to serve as a trusted enterprise
platform in some of the most demanding SAP solution-based environments."
