Software AG Announces Performance Testing Milestone for Adabas on IBM System z9 z/OS Mainframe Platform
Published: 11/9/2006
Software AG today announced that its Adabas transactional database software has reached a new performance milestone in joint testing with IBM. Adabas 2006, running along with IBM’s recently introduced z/OS v1.8 operating system on the company’s new System z9 Enterprise Class mainframe, attained transaction speeds of approximately 320,000 per second – a record speed for Adabas on a commercial mainframe system.
During the trials, which took place at IBM’s Poughkeepsie, New York test center, Adabas 2006’s enhanced level of 64-bit virtual memory was used in combination with z/OS V1.8’s ability to support more than 128 GB of real memory in a single image on IBM System z (z990 and z9 EC) processors. During the testing Adabas 2006 ran on 32 parallel processors.
"We are pleased with the support and continued investment in the System z platform by partners like Software AG," said Randy Daniel, director, System z Marketing Execution, IBM Systems & Technology Group. "The impressive results of these recent joint tests with Software AG not only demonstrate the strength of our system design, but also emphasizes that our approach to transactional data management remains unrivaled throughout the industry."
"This achievement demonstrates that Software AG is fully committed to the continued improvement of Adabas," said Philip Howard, Research Director, Bloor Research. "Such performance should convince users that no matter how much their volume demand increases – or their processing resources are taken up by other, more CPU intensive, products – Adabas is likely to have more than enough headroom to continue performing effectively."
