From the standpoint of CIOs and CTOs who make technology buying decisions, third-party benchmarks provide audited validation of a vendor’s claims:

Peek of the Paper: Despite the overwhelming importance of data to business, too little attention is paid to benchmarks that demonstrate which databases and architectures are fastest. Here at CITO Research, we believe that companies, like Oracle, that dismiss third-party benchmarks may have an ulterior motive, and it’s not too difficult to guess: they’re losing. From the standpoint of CIOs and CTOs who make technology buying decisions, third-party benchmarks provide audited validation of a vendor’s claims.

Given the importance of data to businesses of all sizes, independent hard data with which to make buying decisions is critical. In this paper, CITO Research presents findings from a recent Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) benchmark, TPC-H.
