Report on the HPSS Database Benchmark
Concerns about the long-term viability of SFS as the metadata store for HPSS have been increasing. A concern that Transarc may discontinue support for SFS motivates us to consider alternative means to store HPSS metadata. The obvious alternative is a commercial database.

We recommended either Oracle or DB2 on the basis of market share and technical suitability. Oracle and DB2 are dominant offerings in the market, and it is in the best interest of HPSS to use a major player's product. Both databases provide a suitable programming interface. Transaction management functions, support for multi-threaded clients and data manipulation languages (DML) are available. These findings were supported in meetings held with technical experts from both companies. In both cases, the evidence indicated that either database would provide the features needed to host HPSS.
