Oracle(R) Fusion Middleware on HP Integrity Server Blades Demonstrates Superior Performance and Scalability
News Facts
-- Today, Oracle announced world record multi-node SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark results for Oracle(R) Fusion Middleware(1).
-- The combination of Oracle WebLogic Server, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, together with Oracle Database 11g on mission-critical HP Integrity server blades running HP-UX 11i v3 delivered the record-breaking results, further demonstrating Oracle Fusion Middleware's leadership in Java application server performance and scalability.
-- With this result, Oracle surpasses the best IBM WebSphere multi-node result with IBM DB2 by delivering more than 30 percent greater performance per core(2).
Benchmark Details
-- Oracle WebLogic Server 10g R 3 together with Oracle Database 11g achieved 21,602.31 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard (jAppServer Operations Per Second). Oracle WebLogic Server was running on 13 HP Integrity BL870c server blades, each with four Dual-Core Intel(R) Itanium(R) 1.6 GHz processors. The database server was running on an HP Integrity Superdome server with 64 Dual- Core Intel(R) Itanium(R) 1.6 GHz processors and HP StorageWorks 8100 Enterprise Virtual Arrays. Both application server and database tiers were running HP-UX 11i v3.
-- For more than five years, Oracle has submitted record-setting application server benchmarks on a broad range of hardware and software platforms. Oracle is the performance and price/performance leader in multiple SPECjAppServer 2001(2) and SPECjAppServer2002(3) benchmark categories and also holds the world records for best performance and price/performance in the Ecperf(4) benchmark of J2EE application servers reported in July 2002.
-- SPECjAppServer2004 is a multi-tier benchmark for measuring the performance of a representative J2EE application and each of the components that make up the application environment, including hardware, application server software, JVM software, database software, JDBC drivers and the system network.
