Siemens PLM Teamcenter Tested on SQL Server 2012

By DE Editors

Siemens PLM Software announced test results for its Teamcenter software running on the SQL Server 2012 data platform and Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise operating system. Conducted in conjunction with Microsoft and with support from Intel, the test results demonstrated the full enterprise capabilities of the SQL Server 2012 data platform for PLM, Siemens said.

The testing simulated 10,000 concurrent user sessions. The performance tests were conducted to prove large-scale deployment capability to support the continued expansion of Teamcenter deployments across the extended enterprise. According to the company, the tests validated that Teamcenter and SQL Server 2012 are scalable to support virtually any size implementation.

"SQL Server 2012 and Siemens PLM Software's technologies give customers an interoperable, scalable and cost-efficient IT foundation for PLM deployment," said Sanjay Ravi, managing director, worldwide discrete manufacturing industry, Microsoft. "Users can extend PLM to every desktop, eliminate collaboration barriers, simplify IT complexity and ultimately be more productive."

During the tests, Teamcenter was deployed on SQL Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Using Intel Xeon processors, 10,000 concurrent Teamcenter users were simulated using a standard Siemens PLM Software testing methodology executing common PLM actions.
