This paper describes the final results of an assessment of the scalability of an NT Cluster architecture for very large Telecommunications
Call Detail Record (CDR) databases1. The IBM DB2 DBMS was used on top of four standard Windows NT multi-processor computers to investigate the data warehousing
capabilities of such an off-the-shelf solution. First a description of the experiment case and experiment set up is given.
Next the results of the experiments are described. The paper ends with a conclusion on the manageability, robustness and scalability
of the NT Cluster architecture for very large CDR stores.
The work described here was partly carried out in the context of EURESCOM project P817 &x#201C;Database Technologies for Large
Scale Databases in Telecommunication&x#201D; (www.eurescom.de).
