Oracle has announced that Oracle WebLogic Server 11g, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, together with Oracle Database 11g running on Oracle Solaris and Oracle’s Sun SPARC Enterprise servers with Sun FlashFire technology achieved a world record multi-node result with the SPECjAppServer2004 industry standard benchmark.

Oracle WebLogic Server 11g with Oracle Database 11g achieved 28,648.74 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard (jAppServer Operations Per Second). The Java Application Server was running on a five-node Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 cluster powered by UltraSPARC T2 Plus 1.6 GHz processors. Oracle Database 11g was running on a Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 server equipped with SPARC64(TM) VII processors and used six Sun Storage F5100 Flash Arrays. All Sun SPARC Enterprise servers were running Oracle Solaris, with proven enterprise-class reliability, security and performance.

Oracle’s complete, open and integrated solution used only one-third the number of systems, consumed 26 percent less physical space and delivered 1.7 times better performance per rack unit (RU) than the best published result by IBM(2). These results show that Oracle’s Sun SPARC Enterprise servers are the best platform for running Oracle Database and Oracle Fusion Middleware applications, delivering unmatched performance and efficiency.

For the past decade, Oracle has consistently published record-setting application server benchmarks on a broad range of hardware and software platforms.

“This benchmark result demonstrates that the Oracle software-hardware stack is the premier solution for running enterprise Java applications,” said Juan Loaiza, senior vice president, Systems Technology, Oracle. “This is a testament to Oracle’s commitment to provide complete, open and integrated solutions that help our customers succeed in their businesses.”
