World Record Sun Fire T2000 for 2-node configuration with 1-Socket Application Server
Friday Jul 13, 2007
A Sun Fire T2000 equipped with one UltraSPARC T1 processor at 1.4 GHz running the Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 and one Sun Fire T2000 equipped with 1 UltraSPARC T1 processor at 1.0 GHz running the DB2 9.1 Univeral Database obtained a score of 883.66 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard on the SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark. This also demonstrates the power of the Sun Fire T2000 as a database server.
The Sun Java Systems Application Server 9.1 established a new World Record on a single-socket application server machine.
This is the highest ever SPECjAppServer score by any application server running on a single Sun appserver machine, beating BEA's score on the same appserver machine by 10%.
Sun's open-source application server gives you 10% better performance than BEA at a fraction of the licensing and support cost.
This result demonstrates the superior performance of Sun's open-source application server with a result that is 10% higher than Weblogic on identical hardware, and substantially higher than other application server vendors on T2000 hardware.
This result also demonstrates the superior performance of the Sun Fire T2000 as a database server, using IBM DB2 Universal Database software.

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.
