Result with SPECjAppServer2004 Benchmark on Dell PowerEdge Server

Oracle WebLogic Server Delivers Highest JOPS per Core of any Result ever
Published

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

News Facts
-- Today Oracle today announced that Oracle(R) WebLogic Server, a
strategic
component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, together with Oracle JRockit,
Oracle Enterprise Linux and Oracle Database 11g running on a Dell
PowerEdge server, set a world record two-socket, single-node result
with
the SPECjAppServer2004 industry standard benchmark(1).
-- Showcasing the superior performance and scalability of Oracle Fusion
Middleware, with Oracle WebLogic Server's advanced application grid
capabilities, this benchmark delivered the highest performance per
core
of any result ever published.
-- Oracle WebLogic Server 10g Release 3 Standard Edition with Oracle
JRockit and Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition, achieved 3,975
SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard (jAppServer Operations per Second).
The Java Application Server was running on a Dell PowerEdge R610
server
with a two-socket Intel(R) Xeon(R) x5570 quad-core 2.93 GHz processor.
-- Oracle Database 11g was running on a Dell PowerEdge R900 server with a
four-socket Intel Xeon x7460 hex-core 2.66 GHz processor. Both
application server and database machines were running Oracle
Enterprise
Linux.
-- 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. For more information, visit
