Because this represents a transactional workload, the InnoDB storage engine was used for the MySQL database server. Four different servers from the HP ProLiant family were used for each of the OLTP tests. Each test was performed using read-only queries and then with read/write queries and a varied number of connections. -

Page 16: Interpreting The Data
If an application requires 1200 read/write tps from 16 database connections, all of the HP Proliant c-Class Blade Servers used in these tests are suitable because all of the test servers can handle at least 1245 tps. -
