A single test on a 64-core AMD Server with four 1.2TV ioDrive 2 NAND arrays achieved 1.11 million transactions per second, inserting all the data – all 50 billion rows of it - into a single database in Microsoft SQL Server.
Fusion-io believes that the test on the VSL software subsystem, which also processed update statements, achieving 2.5 million updates per second, shows how the company could meet increasing demand for new solutions to data processing in the retail sector.
"Given how consumers are embracing online shopping, we believe this achievement showcases how Fusion-io can help meet demand for servicing more digital transactions with an efficient, rapid and reliable solution," said Neil Carson, Fusion-io chief technology officer
To show-off just how impressive the feat is, the company calculated that the server handled enough transactions to be able to process the daily credit card spend of every single individual of the planet right up until the year 2050.
“The transaction rates achieved in these tests demonstrate the high scalability and efficiency of today’s Microsoft SQL Server databases when powered by Fusion-io,” concluded Carson.
