Test your own server performance using the IBExpert Benchmark
Test your server and see for yourself using the free IBExpert Benchmark tool. With the current IBExpert Developer Studio customer version or IBExpert Day Edition you can also take advantage of the extended and XXL benchmarks.
This simple yet powerful tool generates a reproducible performance index, allowing you to objectively compare the performance of your Firebird server hardware with our recommended Firebird IFS servers.
The benchmark is particularly valuable for software vendors and support teams who need to analyse and evaluate performance issues reported by customers and objectively determine whether bottlenecks are caused by the server hardware.
