ENT News | at | by Mike
NEC blasted back into the high-end Windows scalability fray this week with the first major audited benchmark showing significant scalability for a 64-bit Windows-based system. At the Intel Developer Forum this week, NEC released a result from the Transaction Processing Performance Council's TPC-C benchmark for On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) scalability using its 32-processor NEC TX7 Server. The database back-end was a single NEC TX7 Server with 32 Itanium 2 processors, pre-release code of 64-bit Windows .NET Server 2003, Datacenter Edition, and pre-release code of 64-bit SQL Server 2000, Enterprise Edition.
