In an advertisement refers to the consolidated database on TPC tests. They allegedly show that Oracle software on Sun servers faster than HP and IBM running hand goods. The TPC, however, knows nothing about it.
Oracle will pay a penalty of $ 10,000, because it has advertised without authorization in the Wall Street Journal and The Economist pointed to the fact that Oracle's software runs faster on servers from Sun Microsystems as on servers from IBM or HP. The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC), relied on by Oracle, is aware of the benchmarks, but nothing official.
The TPC defines and develops tests that can be measured by the performance of transactions and databases. It has also set rules on how such results may be published. Oracle is itself a member of the organization. It was on 14 October, the benchmark present results official.
According to Oracle's advertising were cited tests conducted by the TPC. However, a TPC spokesman said: "Oracle has not provided any evidence to support these allegations." IBM has also filed a complaint because of the advertising.
Oracle has taken on the request of the TPC of advertising on the net. The page www.oracle.com / sunoraclefaster had applied to the Oracle, is no longer available.
The penalty of $ 10,000 for Oracle has more than symbolic value. Nevertheless, the aggressive advertising presence shows that the proposed acquisition Sun has some problems. Users now fear above all the uncertainty associated with this acquisition. Including Oracle's statement is to explain that it would be more in the Sparc processor technology and Sun is investing.
