Oracle(R) Fusion Middleware Delivers World Record Single-Node Result With SPECjAppServer2004 Benchmark on HP ProLiant DL785 G6 Server

Oracle OpenWorld -- Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL)

News Facts

--  Today, Oracle announced that Oracle(R) WebLogic
Server, a component of Oracle Fusion
Middleware, together with Oracle Database 11g
running on an HP ProLiant DL785 G6 server, achieved a world record
single-node result with the SPECjAppServer2004 industry standard
benchmark(1).
--  This result surpasses the best IBM WebSphere SPECjAppServer2004 single
node result by nearly 7 times(2).
--  Oracle WebLogic Server with Oracle Database 11g achieved 9,455.17
SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard (jAppServer Operations Per Second). The
Java Application Server was running on a HP ProLiant DL785 G6 with a
Six-Core AMD Opteron(TM) 8439 SE 2.8 GHz processor and used HP StorageWorks
70 Modular Storage Arrays for external storage and HP ProCurve networking
switches for connectivity.  Oracle Database 11g was running on an identical
hardware configuration.  Both the application server and database machines
were running the Linux operating system.
--  With this achievement, Oracle WebLogic Server now holds world record
results in multi-node (3), dual-node (4), and single-node
SPECjAppServer2004 benchmarks, in addition to delivering the highest
performance per core (5) of any result ever published.
--  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(6) and SPECjAppServer2002(7) benchmark
categories and also holds the world records for best performance and
price/performance in the Ecperf(8) 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
