Two new SAP BWH benchmarks on the BullSequana SH41 highlight a critical performance capability: when data volumes double, the system retains around two‑thirds of its Phase 2 query performance. This result confirms the platform’s ability to scale efficiently, without performance degrading in proportion to data growth. These certified benchmark results demonstrate the scalability behaviour of Bull’s scale‑up architecture, forming the foundation for higher‑end BullSequana configurations designed to support even larger data volumes.
| Initial records (billions) | Comparison | Phase 2: Query executions per hour | Comparison |
| 5.2 | 21,224 | ||
| 10.4 | x2 | 14,068 | x0,66 |
These benchmarks were performed on BullSequana SH41 in scale-up configuration.

For clients, this translates into predictable and stable performance as databases expand. As data volumes increase over time, the BullSequana SH41 helps maintain consistent response times and sustained throughput, reducing the need for infrastructure changes. It provides a reliable, future-proof foundation for growing in‑memory and transactional databases, designed to support long‑term data growth while preserving operational continuity and performance.
