Secure Performance Per Watt (PPW) on Microsoft SQL Server*

Data theft has become rampant with IT managers worried more than ever of reputation damaging losses. The challenge is encrypting data without significant performance penalty or additional monetary / datacenter power cost.

Benchmark description for Quest Benchmark Factory*

Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) enables full disk encryption (FDE) acceleration for software such as Microsoft BitLocker*. Benchmark runs SQL Server* database on 8-disk RAID5 array with FDE enabled and disabled using Quest Benchmark Factory* TPC-H*-like workload and measures K-jobs (Thousand 22-query workload jobs/minute) per watt.

Secure Database Query Performance Per Watt

Quest Software* Benchmark Factory* using its custom load scenario feature to create a TPC-H*-like business intelligence database workload (workload is similar to the more widely known Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) benchmarks, but the results are not directly comparable). Comparison is based on 3rd-party measured 4-socket servers using Intel Xeon processor X7460 and E7-4870 models using Microsoft BitLocker* FDE in an 8-disk RAID5 array.
