Oracle Delivers World Record Multi-Node Result with SPECjAppServer2004 Benchmark

Oracle(R) Fusion Middleware on HP Integrity Server Blades Demonstrates Superior Performance and Scalability 


REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., June 24  /PRNewswire/ -- 

  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 18 percent greater
      performance per core.(2)


  Benchmark Details
  --  Oracle WebLogic Server 10g R 3 together with Oracle Database 11g
      achieved 28,463  SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard (jAppServer
      Operations Per Second).  Oracle WebLogic Server was running on 17 HP
      Integrity BL870c server blades, each with four Intel(R) Itanium(R)
      processor 9100 series (1.6 GHz).  The database server was running on
      an HP Integrity Superdome server with 64 Intel(R) Itanium(R) processor
      9100 series (1.6 GHz) and HP StorageWorks 8100 Enterprise Virtual
      Arrays.  Both application server and database tiers were running HP-UX
      11i v3.  The HP Integrity BL870c blades running HP-UX 11i v3, used
      with Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Database 11g, provide
      organizations with a robust and reliable platform for mission-critical
      applications and is ideal for high-performance and technical computing
      requirements.
  --  For over 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(3) and SPECjAppServer2002(4) benchmark categories
      and also holds the world records for best performance and
      price/performance in the Ecperf(5)  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.  For more information,
