Outstanding I/Os (Increasing Workload)
*Running on Microsoft® Windows® 2003 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 2. The tool used for predicting the performance of the Oracle database under-load was Orion from Oracle
Full Hardware Offload = Improved System Performance
• The lowest CPU utilization in the industry
• Requires an average of 9% CPU utilization
• Competitors Choke CPU utilization up to 90%
• Improves server performance by freeing up the server CPU to
other tasks
More bandwidth for multiple VMs and apps
all on a single server
