A Baan Reference User (BRU) represents a single user executing a session that generates a reference load on the system. By relating all BaanERP sessions to that reference load, the actual mix of sessions executed at any given implementation will determine the translation from the benchmark BRU to the maximum number of concurrent users for that implementation.
HP achieved the Baan Company ERP benchmark on a 16-way HP 9000 V2250 Enterprise Server with a BaanIV.c application running the Oracle(r) 8.04 relational database-management system. The record-breaking benchmark is the result of the solution`s superior scalability, which translates into greater IT architecture flexibility and a lower total ownership cost for joint HP and Baan Company customers.
"HP delivers scalable, high-performance systems to run complex, mission-critical and technical computing applications spanning the entire enterprise, helping customers increase their productivity and competitiveness," said Janice Chaffin, general manager for HP`s High Performance System Division.
"This record-breaking benchmark, achieved through a strong, ongoing-committed relationship with Baan Company and Oracle, further demonstrates HP`s leadership in the ERP space," says Teresa Schlegelmann, Strategic Alliance Manager at HP South Africa.
Comments Baan SA Technology Manager, Stephen Green, "I believe that this recent benchmark is indicative of the superb relationship between Baan and HP and the commitment of HP to bring superior solutions to the market. It proves that absolute scalability of the Baan and HP solution for the enterprise."
The benchmark was performed at HP`s Development Alliances Lab in Cupertino, Calif.
