Performance Brief for SAS Enterprise BI Server 9.1.3 on HP Integrity Servers, Microsoft Windows and HP StorageWorks EVA Storage: 300 User Enterprise BI Server Test Suite

This paper highlights the key findings from running the SAS Enterprise BI Server architecture using the 300 user test suite running on Intel Itanium 2-based HP Integrity servers, HP BladeSystem servers and an HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) storage system. This test showcased the SAS backend servers running on HP Integrity 64-bit servers. The HP Integrity based servers provided highly optimized response times, substantially lower I/O throughput as well as eliminating the 2GB metadata limit that 32bit architectures enforce.
