The data mart scenario is one use of the Business Intelligence capabilities of SAP NetWeaver. The data mart contains a static snapshot of operational data. Multiple users run queries on this data in 10 InfoCubes which contain 2,500,000,000 records. The key figure is the number of query navigation steps/hour.

Benchmark Results
