Software hard is really hard IBM high-profile performance of Oracle

After Oracle's CEO Larry http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/16528.html ">ellison claims its new product is much faster than IBM's," The Wall Street Journal reported. IBM responded to these comments today.

Colin Parris, general manager of IBM Power series, said he was surprised and delighted at Ellison's words.

Parris expenditure, the current enterprise priority should be the chip speed beyond the things. IBM is more focused on issues such as server failure defense, security, and availability, not the Ellison's emphasis on computing speed.

But Parris also did not avoid the problem of hardware speed. He points out that Power 7 is a 2010 product. This February, IBM has launched the upgraded version of the Power 7+, a significant increase in performance.

Parris points out that Oracle's old product, based on IBM Power7, contrasts with its own new products and does not reflect the real situation.

Oracle claims the results were released by Third-party agencies transaction 處理 Council. Oracle Executive Vice President John Fowler also stressed that the new SPARC based T5 processor is the fastest server in the world for running databases, Java software, and so on.

In addition, Oracle insists that SPARC T5 has excellent performance, 5 times times the cost/performance ratio of IBM's equivalent solution, even higher, in this case, even if IBM for the product configuration has a certain adjustment, it is not enough to make up for the huge difference between the two.

But in this case, IBM's Parris emphasized the fact that, in the UNIX system market, IBM has eaten up the market share of Oracle and HP.

In Sun's time, Sun is leading the UNIX market, according to IDC analyst. But Oracle bought Sun into the field so far, IBM has a 56.1% share in the field, is an absolute ruler, and Oracle and HP share only 19.2% and 18.6%. And this cost-effective model of the launch, is intended to regain a certain market share.
