Who runs SAP solutions faster? The answer: Microsoft Corp. A 32-processor Unisys Corp. database server running Microsoft Windows Datacenter Server Limited Edition and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition delivered the best performance on the highly coveted SAP AG Standard Application Sales and Distribution (SAP SD) Three-Tier Benchmark. Businesses that rely on their software to deliver scalable growth for enterprise applications can achieve better results with a Windows- and SQL Server-based system.
The SAP Standard Application SD Benchmark has become a de facto standard that today's leading companies depend on for measuring the scale-up performance of SAP-based systems. It provides a key measure of real-world performance in the e-business environment by simulating the maximum number of users a given system can handle while maintaining response times of less than two seconds.
