Pervasive DataRush Reaches 2 TB/Hour Processing Speed

Intel and Pervasive Deliver Transformative Performance on a Single Server for Big Data Problems

AUSTIN, Texas - August 17, 2010 - Pervasive Software® Inc. (NASDAQ: PVSW), an emerging leader in eliminating performance bottlenecks in data-intensive and analytic applications, today announced that Pervasive DataRush processes MalStone B-10 data at rates of two Terabytes per hour on a 32-core Intel Xeon 7550 server.

The implementation demonstrates performance that can effectively power cyber-security, fraud detection, data preparation, predictive analytics and optimization on large datasets while providing future-proof scalability.

"These results provide powerful validation of the ability of Pervasive DataRush to scale massively and consume all available cores as commercially available core counts increase," said Ray Newmark, vice president of sales and marketing for Pervasive DataRush. "This kind of performance is a beacon for organizations struggling with complex or large data who want to harness the power of multicore. We enable users to process large amounts of data to obtain actionable information faster and more cost-effectively than other technologies."

Pervasive DataRush ran the 10-billion-row benchmark on an Intel server with a 64-bit JVM 6 installed on 64-bit Windows 2008. The Pervasive DataRush runtime of 31.5 minutes was 26 times faster than the same test in a published benchmark using Hadoop on a 20-node cluster. Not only did Pervasive DataRush achieve superior performance, the application showed excellent scalability from two to thirty-two cores. This level of performance and scalability allows organizations to leverage the most appropriate hardware for the performance desired.

"Pervasive DataRush fully exploits the parallelism achieved with scalable servers based on the Intel® Xeon® Processor 7500 series," said Eoin McConnell, Product Line Manager for the Intel Xeon Expandable Segment. "With scalable architectures and technologies, including Intel® Hyperthreading technology, customers can dynamically scale performance for the most demanding enterprise workloads."
