Database & Platform Evaluation
Independent evaluation of database technologies and platforms for performance, scalability and cost.
HammerDB Ltd works with major global enterprises, technology vendors and organisations making significant database and infrastructure decisions.
What we evaluate
Database
Oracle, SQL Server, Db2, PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB. We compare strengths and weaknesses under equivalent workloads and identify the differences that matter to the decision.
Platform
Cloud and on-premises infrastructure, Windows and Linux, x86 and ARM, compute, memory, storage and configuration. We show whether a performance difference comes from the database itself or from the hardware, operating system, storage or configuration.
Cost
We quantify the infrastructure and, where applicable, licensing cost required to meet a defined performance target across the options being evaluated.
The HammerDB experts
HammerDB Ltd provides specialist expertise around HammerDB, the industry-standard open-source database benchmark.
Each evaluation is specific to the decision being made. We design the methodology, run the workloads, investigate the results and explain the technical reasons behind the differences.
HammerDB is hosted by the TPC and developed openly, providing an independent foundation for evaluating competing database technologies and platforms.
