MicroStrategy, a pure play provider of business intelligence (BI) software, announced that in benchmark tests of its latest software release, MicroStrategy 9.0.2 can support more than 100,000 active users while delivering average response times under two seconds.
According to a press release from the company, a 4-node clustered configuration of MicroStrategy Intelligence Server containing a total of 32 CPU cores delivered a power rating of 560 KiloCycles, which equates to 560,000 round-trip queries per hour. This query volume was sustained while supporting over 100,000 active users, which can be extrapolated to a total user population of 500,000 people. The tests ran by using MicroStrategy 9.0.2 installed on commodity Intel-based hardware with the Red Hat Linux ES operating system, at a retail price of $63,500 for the 4-node clustered configuration.
During the test sequence, the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server demonstrated an almost exactly proportional increase in capacity as additional server nodes were added to the clustered configuration. In single-node operation, the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server with 8 CPU cores delivered a power rating of 147 KiloCycles, supporting the traffic volume of over 26,000 active users. With two nodes, the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server with 16 CPU cores delivered 284 KiloCycles, supporting the traffic volume of approximately 51,000 active users. A three-node configuration containing 24 CPU cores delivered 423 KiloCycles, supporting the traffic volume of approximately 76,000 active users.
"Companies today are faced with supporting escalating data volumes and providing fast and easy data access for business decision makers," said Sanju Bansal, MicroStrategy's Chief Operating Officer. "As our tests show, MicroStrategy allows companies to deliver greater value from their existing hardware and maximize incremental hardware to deploy more business intelligence applications to more people."
