Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition 4,000 User Benchmark on an IBM System X3755 Server Running Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Business Intelligence (BI) is no longer the domain of a few power analysts or a point application used by a small target audience of middle and upper management. BI has evolved into a mission critical application that is being used by many thousands of users across the broad expanse of the enterprise, ranging from customer touch points such as bank tellers and call center agents, all the way up to the executive offices that drive strategy down through an organization. This benchmark was designed to showcase how the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition (Oracle BI EE) Release 10.1.3.3 performs under high user-loads, and how well it scales vertically on a single IBM System x3755 Server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL4).
