Oracle® Application Server 10g Sets World Record
SPECjAppServer®2002 Performance Result on PRIMEPOWER 450/2500
Servers from Fujitsu Siemens Computers and the Fujitsu group
London, September 07, 2004 —Oracle and Fujitsu Siemens Computers today announced that
Oracle® Application Server 10g set a new performance world
record result for the SPECjAppServer®2002 MultipleNode
benchmark. The benchmark was established on
SolarisTM/SPARC®64V-based PRIMEPOWERTM 450/2500 servers of the
Fujitsu group of companies (Fujitsu Limited/Asia-Pacific, Fujitsu
Computer Systems/North America and Fujitsu Siemens Computers/EMEA)
as well as Fujitsu Siemens Computers’ openSEAS product suite.
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 SPARC64V 1.3 GHz processors. The
J2EE application servers were 9 Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER 450 servers each
with 4 SPARC64V 1.32 GHz processors. Both were running the Solaris
9 operating environment.
With this new benchmark world record the PRIMEPOWER servers
clearly demonstrate their performance and outstanding capability
running mission-critical environments. Therefore PRIMEPOWER servers
are a preferred choice for users of large databases and
business-critical applications. On the same hardware configuration,
but with Oracle9i Database Release 2, 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.
“These benchmarks 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 for data center environments and Oracle Application
Server 10g,” added Dieter Herzog, executive vice president
Enterprise Products at Fujitsu Siemens Computers. “Customers
choose PRIMEPOWER servers to run their mission-critical
infrastructures; they want to combine the performance, reliability
and resource utilization with the seamless integration into their
data centres.”
SPECjAppServer®2002 is a client/server benchmark for
measuring the performance of JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition
(J2EETM) -based application servers using a subset of J2EE APIs in
a complete end-to-end Java application. It is the only
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.
