Oracle and Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation announced that Oracle Application Server 10g set a new performance world record result for the SPECjAppServer2002 MultipleNode benchmark.
The benchmark was established on PRIMEPOWER 450 and PRIMEPOWER 2500 servers with SPARC64 processors for the Solaris operating environment. Oracle’s record result delivered 33 percent higher performance than the previous SPECjAppServer2002 MultipleNode record held by BEA Weblogic*.
Oracle Application Server 10g, together with Oracle Database 10g, achieved a record 5,991.73 TOPS@MultipleNode (total operations per second) with a price-performance of 654.20 Euros/TOPS@MultipleNode. The database was running on one Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER 2500 server with 56 SPARC64 V 1.30 GHz processors. The J2EE application servers were nine Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER 450 servers each with four SPARC64 V 1.32 GHz processors. Both were running the Solaris 9 operating environment.
This new benchmark record clearly demonstrates why PRIMEPOWER servers are a preferred choice for users of large databases and business-critical applications. On the same hardware configuration, Oracle9i Database Release 2 and Oracle Application Server 10g achieved 5,221.63 TOPS with a price-performance of 750.68 Euros/TOPS@MultipleNode; this result is ranked second in MultipleNode performance. Thus, switching to Oracle Database 10g increased performance by nearly 15 percent.
“The benchmark results demonstrate our ability to deliver industry leading performance with Oracle Application Server 10g in combination with the powerful PRIMEPOWER hardware platform and the Solaris operating environment,” said Richard Sarwal, vice president of Server Performance, Oracle Corp. “Oracle has repeatedly established world records in J2EE Application Server benchmarks, starting with ECperf and continuing with SPECjAppServer2001 and SPECjAppServer2002.”
“This result again shows the outstanding performance of our PRIMEPOWER server line for data center environments and Oracle Application Server 10g,” said Richard McCormack, vice president of product and solutions marketing for Fujitsu Computer Systems. “Customers choose PRIMEPOWER servers to run their mission-critical infrastructures; they can combine the performance, reliability and resource utilization with the seamless integration into their data centers.”
SPECjAppServer2002 is a client/server benchmark for measuring the performance of Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) -based application servers using a subset of J2EE APIs in a complete end-to-end Java application. It is the industry-accepted benchmark to measure J2EE platform performance connecting into a database and is designed to model a manufacturing, supply-chain management and order/inventory environment.
