Just FYI. SuSE was not involved in the benchmarks, we only supplied the
Linux and are passive bystanders like everyone else.
The details of the tests are on www.fastcenter.com, incl. init.ora-files
etc.
Just in case anyone wonders: The Oracle license restriction on
benchmarks is for "official" benchmarks like a TPC-C, not user
benchmarks like this one.

( BW)(CA-FASTCENTER) Oracle on SuSE Linux Enterprise 7 is Faster Than
NT2000, Fastcenter Corp. Benchmarks Released
Business Editors/High-Tech Writers
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 2001--Fastcenter Oracle
performance tests on exactly the same hardware show NT2000 capable of
only 85% of throughput compared to SuSE Linux Enterprise 7 .
Fastcenter, an Oracle server sales and database support
organization, today announced the completion of performance
comparisons of Oracle on SuSE Linux Enterprise server 7 as compared to
Oracle on Windows 2000 Server.
"Our test results show average job times on NT2000 at 34 minutes
per concurrent job and 25 minutes per job on SuSE Linux," explains
Mark Jumaga, President and CEO of Fastcenter Corporation. Fastcenter
compared the latest Oracle kernel 9.0.1.1 for NT versus 9.0.1 on Linux
using exactly the same hardware server. According to Jumaga "These two
platforms have exactly the same Oracle 9i classes in them and we
configured the two environments as closely as possible. We ran 15
heavy concurrent Portal30 loads. We also found the same results when
testing the previous SuSE 7.2 release at 29 minutes per job, so
Enterprise 7 with the new 2.4.7 Linux kernel is also faster than the
2.4.4 kernel."
According to Jumaga, "Linux has proven itself as the number one
choice for reliability for many years, and after the certification of
Oracle 9.0.1 database on SuSE Linux, these statistics now prove that
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server is also the number one choice for
performance. Fastcenter sells Oracle on SuSE Linux exclusively with a
99.998% uptime guarantee, and we're thrilled at the test results. Stay
tuned, because our next tests will be against similarly priced Sun
hardware." Full test results and timed runs are available at the
Fastcenter website http://www.fastcenter.com
