Data center server and storage products provider, Rackable Systems, Inc., has revealed that one of the company’s servers, supporting key Oracle Fusion middleware technologies, set a record breaking performance for an x86 system supporting the SPECjAppServer2004 industry standard benchmark.
For the test, Rackable Systems C2002 high efficiency servers powered by dual Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz processors on Linux were used to support Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 coupled with Oracle Database 10g. The results: the system achieved a superior performance of 1,111.96 SPECJAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard (jAppServer Operations per Second).
SPECjAppServer2004 is a client/server 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. The workload is an application that emulates information flow among an automotive dealership, manufacturing, supply chain management and an order/inventory system.
