Company: Overview

Founded in 1991 by Francois Raab, InfoSizing is a consulting firm specializing in accurate sizing of information systems through the design, management and analysis of performance benchmarks.

How We Started

The company was started at a time when benchmark standards were in their infancy. New benchmarks were being drafted and there was a need for an independent party to help in the design and verification of these benchmarks.

When the first version of TPC-C was released, back in August of 1992, InfoSizing had already been leading the three-year development effort.

What We Do

InfoSizing provides consulting services in two main areas:

  • Standard TPC Benchmarks
  • Custom Benchmarks

In both cases, InfoSizing applies its expertise to the task of accurately assessing the computing capacity, or size, of a given information system configuration.

In the case of standard TPC benchmarks, the service consists of providing an independent audit of the results obtained by a system vendor during the execution of a standard performance benchmark, such as TPC-C, TPC-E or TPC-H.

In the case of custom benchmarks, the service consists of defining and executing a performance benchmark for the purpose of accessing a given technology. This approach is most effective when applied during the process of a new system procurement or a strategic technology selection.

Who Are Our Customers

InfoSizing delivers benchmark auditing services to most leading enterprise system vendors. Large information technology users call on InfoSizing to tailor a performance benchmark to their specific technology assessment needs and to validate its execution.

The TPC also retains the consulting services of InfoSizing to contribute to the design and standardization of its benchmarks.
