Record SPECjAppServer Sun Fire E2900 / Sun Fire T2000 combo
Tuesday Apr 03, 2007
World Record Performance on 2-node Configuration! One Sun Fire E2900 equipped with 12 UltraSPARC IV+ at 1.95GHz running the BEA Weblogic 9.2 Application Server and one Sun Fire T2000 equipped with one UltraSPARC T1 processor at 1.2 GHz running the DB2 8.2 Univeral Database achieved 1781.37 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard.
This SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark result is a World record for application server performance on a single system.
The Sun Fire E2900 result is an example of J2EE Server Consolidation. The result was obtained using 6 BEA Weblogic application server instances, each running in a separate Solaris Container.
The Sun Fire E2900 and Sun Fire T2000 performed 7% better than the cluster of 6x HP DL380 G4 running BEA Weblogic 9 and 1x HP rx8620 server running Oracle 10g database.
The Sun Fire E2900 and Sun Fire T2000 performed 32% better than the cluster of 5x IBM eServer xSeries 365 servers running IBM Websphere 6 and 2x IBM eServer xSeries 365 running DB2 8.2 database.
This result also demonstrates the superior performance of the Sun Fire T2000 as a database server, using IBM DB2 Universal Database software. The UltraSPARC-T1 based T2000 Sun server supports a higher SPECjAppServer2004 workload (JOPS) than one HP rx8620 [16x 1.5 GHz Itanium 2] using Oracle 10g or two IBM xSeries 365 [8x 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon MP] using IBM DB2 v8.2.

Benchmark Description
SPECjAppServer2004 (Java Application Server) is a multi-tier benchmark for measuring the performance of Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technology-based application servers. SPECjAppServer2004 is an end-to-end application which exercises all major J2EE technologies implemented by compliant application servers as follows:
- The web container, including servlets and JSPs
- The EJB container
- EJB2.0 Container Managed Persistence
- JMS and Message Driven Beans
- Transaction management
- Database connectivity
Moreover, SPECjAppServer2004 also heavily exercises all parts of the underlying infrastructure that make up the application environment, including hardware, JVM software, database software, JDBC drivers, and the system network.
The primary metric of the SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark is jAppServer Operations Per Second (JOPS) which is calculated by adding the metrics of the Dealership Management Application in the Dealer Domain and the Manufacturing Application in the Manufacturing Domain. There is NO price/performance metric in this benchmark.
