Oracle® Fusion Middleware Delivers Best-in-Class Single Node Result for New Intel® Xeon® x5680 Platform with SPECjAppServer2004 Benchmark

Oracle WebLogic Server Running on Cisco Unified Computing System C250 M2 Extended Memory Rack-Mount Server Delivers Outstanding Result

Redwood Shores, Calif – March 16, 2010

News Facts

Today, Oracle announced that Oracle® WebLogic Server, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, together with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 and Oracle Enterprise Linux, running on a Cisco Unified Computing System C250 M2 Extended Memory Rack-Mount Server with two, six-core Intel® Xeon® X5680 3.33 GHz processors achieved 5,185.45 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard (jAppServer Operations Per Second), representing a best-in-class, single-node result for this platform and the best performance per processor of any result ever published(1).
This achievement adds to Oracle WebLogic Server’s current SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark records including world record results in multi-node(2); dual-node(3); and single-node(4) categories; the highest performance ever achieved running a clustered database(5) and the highest performance per core(6) of any result ever published.
Benchmark Details

The Java application servers were running on a Cisco Unified Computing System C250 M2 Extended Memory Rack-Mount Server with two, six-core Intel Xeon X5680 3.33 GHz processors. Oracle Database 11g Release 2 was running on an identical hardware configuration. Both application servers and database servers were running Oracle Enterprise Linux.
For more than eight 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(7) and SPECjAppServer2002(8) benchmark categories and also holds the world records for best performance and price/performance in the Ecperf(9) 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.
