On August 7, 2019, AMD finally unveiled their new 7nm EPYC 7002 Series of server processors, formerly code-named "Rome" at the AMD EPYC Horizon Event in San Francisco. This is the second generation EPYC server processor that uses the same Zen 2 architecture as the AMD Ryzen 3000 Series desktop processors.

These AMD EPYC processors have a number of advantages for SQL Server workloads, as I will explain in this article. Figure 1: CPU-Z Benchmark Results for LS16v2. Azure Lsv2 Details.

HammerDB is a load testing and benchmarking application for relational databases. On high-performance multi-core systems all the supported databases can return performance in the many millions of transactions per minute. Basic Benchmarking Concepts. To benchmark a database we introduce the concept of a Virtual User.

HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. HammerDB has graphical and command line interfaces for the Windows and Linux operating systems. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking. Why HammerDB was developed. HammerDB Licensing.

Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors.

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Some disruption might occur, but it will be minimal. Fault tolerance aims for zero downtime and data loss.
