Inspur Group Co, a leading supplier of cloud-computing solutions and outsourcing services in China, has become a member of the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC), according to the Zhongguancun Administrative Committee.
The TPC is a non-profit organization founded in 1988 to define transaction processing and database benchmarks and to disseminate objective, verifiable TPC-performance data to the IT industry. TPC benchmarks are used in evaluating the performance of computer systems, and the results are published on the TPC web site.
The organization has established seven benchmarks including TPC-C,TPC-DS,TPC-E,TPC-H,TPC-W and TPC-Energy. Most of them have been recognized as testing standards by the IT industry.
Inspur is the first Chinese enterprise to take TPC international testing. So far, the company has broken records 16 times in international authority testing, proving that Inspur is taking a leading role in the development of core technologies and solutions.
TPC is known as the high-end club in the global hardware and software industry. Its members are from America and Japan, including Intel, IBM, SAP, Oracle, Cisco and Hitachi. There are few Chinese enterprises in the organization.
Inspur's membership will improve Chinese enterprise influence in the organization.
Inspur was also a member of OpenStack, a free and open-source software cloud-computing platform, and the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation.
