Senior Systems Engineers from Dell, Zafar Mahmood, Anthony Fernandez and Naveen Iyengar, recently concluded a detailed evaluation of the HyperBac for SQL Server and Oracle (on Windows and Linux) products. HyperBac was tested for performance and compression with very favorable results. The SQL Server tests were conducted against a 500MB TPC-E database and achieved the following results:
| Native | HyperBac | Result | |
| Backup File Size (KB) | 461,928,551 | 152,062,618 | 67% Compression |
| Elapsed Backup Time (s) | 8,806 | 2,987 | 66% Backup Time Reduction |
| Elapsed Restore Time (s) | 8,534 | 5,400 | 37% Restore Time Reduction |
The Oracle tests were conducted against the large implementation of the Dell DVD Store Application database on the Windows and Linux platforms in which HyperBac achieved 71 % compression and was 4.4 times faster than the equivalent Oracle 10g compressed backup set operation performed without HyperBac. Oracle Export and Export Data Pump tests as well as SQL Server BCP tests incorporating HyperBac integrated compression were conducted as well. The results are detailed in the white paper which can be downloaded from the link below:
