QlikView on HP servers can load 1 billion records - near-instant response
QlikTech, a provider of in-memory reporting and analysis solutions, today announced the completion of benchmarking tests of QlikView 7.5 on HP Integrity and Pr oLiant servers. The benchmarking is available at http://www.qliktech.com/hpwhitepaper.
QlikView running on HP servers can load 1 billion records. Tested platforms achieved 1 billion record loads with instant to near-instant response times. Performance testing showed that HP Integrity servers (Superdome ) are uniquely equipped to handle extremely heavy loads of large applications (500 million and 1 billion) with many concurrent users.
Other findings include:
- QlikView’s performance scales linearly with data. QlikView scales very linearly as more data is added into the application. Fifty concurrent users were tested clicking every 5 seconds on two data sets; on 30 and 100 million records and on 500 million and 1 billion records.
- QlikView running on HP servers scales to handle a large number of users. 1000 simulated concurrent users were tested on a medium sized application of 30 million records. Test results prove that simultaneous users can be easily supported without sacrificing response times.
- QlikView’s caching features improve performance. As users click on selections, the results are cached in-memory so they do not need to be recalculated if the same selection is made. It is clear that the caching features in QlikView significantly improve the end user response rate over time .
