Posted in 1997
If you are interested in looking a fully functional evaluation copy or simply want more information visit our website (www.csrad.com). Brian Butler and Jim Gray are currently working on the next edition of the Benchmark Handbook, and this software will be included with the book to demostrate the various implemenations of industry standard benchmarks. We would love for you to download it, and take a first look at how easy it really is to do benchmarks. This product is for server-savvy people to run our software against their servers. It can provide great performance tuning and capacity planning information on their server applications. The product, Benchmark Factory 97, is like a carousel CD player where each CD is a different benchmark. We include the TPC series, AS3AP scalable benchmark, PC Magazine database benchmark and the Ziff-Davis Ritesize test. Like a carousel CD player programmed to play your selections, Benchmark Factory 97' lets you run multiple benchmarks. Benchmark Factory 97 can pinpoint system bottlenecks in a fraction of the time required by other tools on the market. The product is easy-to-use and will automatically setup a test database and load test data into it. Within an hour even junior DBAs can run a benchmark on their server. 'Now performance testers and capacity planners can quickly analyze a system without writing a single line of programming code,' said Brian Butler, Client/Server Solutions' President. 'Using the factory analogy, Benchmark Factory 97' contains benchmark parts and fully assembled benchmarks. This means that testers can run a benchmark like the TPC-C within minutes of loading the software.' 'This product is truly amazing,' said Jim Gray, editor of The Benchmark Handbook, manager of Microsoft's Bay Area Research Center and the foremost authority on benchmarks. 'I wish Benchmark Factory 97 had been available the last time I ran a benchmark.' Who are we? We are the company that has created the performance tests for DBMS, PC Magazine and PC Week.
