Lotus Domino NotesBench R6iNotes
Sun Fire T2000 Lotus World Record per-socket performance and Perf/watt
The Sun FireT2000 1.4GHz US T1 using Lotus Domino 7.0.2 mail server delivered
world record results with best per-socket performance of 23200 and
world record performance/watt for the Lotus[R] R6iNotes on Domino mail HTTP based R6iNotes benchmark.
- The Sun Fire T2000 is 22%
faster with 25% faster response times than the latest HP
DL380G5 based on two 3GHz dual-core Intel 5160 (WoodCrest)
running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. This translates
to 2.4x higher performance per socket.
- The Sun Fire T2000 delivers this performance while consuming nearly three times less power,
adding up to 3.4x higher Performance per Watt and SWaP. While the
HP system achieved lower price/performance, for many customers, this
would be offset by the higher energy consumption of the system.
- When compared to IBM's latest p5+
550Q server, based on 2 x Quad Core p5+ processors and the AIX
operating system, the Sun Fire T2000 was able to deliver comparable
performance with 35% faster response times, and 2x higher
Performance per Socket.
- Also, the Sun Fire T2000 Server
consumed 2.5x less power, and only half the space of the IBM system,
adding up to 5X higher SWaP.
- In addition to the power, cooling
and space savings, the Sun Fire T2000 also delivered one third
superior price / performance than IBM system.

Complete benchmark results may be found at the Lotus NotesBench
website http://www.notesbench.org.
Benchmark version is Notesbench 6.5 running on Lotus Domino 6.5.1
Benchmark Description
The benchmark simulates active users accessing their Domino[R]
R6iNotes mail files via standard Web browser. Each simulated user
periodically sends, retrieves, and deletes a specified number of
e-mail messages from a browser. An average user runs this script four
times per hour.
The R5iNotes and R6iNotes workloads, using the Lotus Domino Mail
server (R5 or R6) are both HTTP based workloads. R6iNotes is heavier
with added features and larger mail files using the MIME format.
The Lotus Webmail and iNotes workloads are NOT comparable.

Tuesday Jan 09, 2007
Today, I've posted a few new results on the Sun UltraSPARC T1 with faster processor (1.4GHz) and larger memory (up to 64GB).
Lots of new record perf, price/perf, SWaP numbers.
But I forgot to mention that the UltraSPARC T1 servers (Sun Fire T2000)
will also ship with many Cool Tools preinstalled. This way many customers can
get to better performance if they have problems.
For more on Cool Tools see: http://cooltools.sunsource.net/
Tuesday Jan 09, 2007
The Sun Fire T2000 obtained a world record single-socket 16,407 SPECweb2005
with one UltraSPARC T1 and 64 GB memory running Solaris 10 11/06 with
Sun Java[TM] System Web Server 6.1 SP5 64-bit web server.
The Sun Fire T2000 had an average power consumption of 340 watts for
all benchmark workloads at steady-state.
Secured web server is critical for most of today's datacenters,
unfortunately other vendors have a big performance and cost penalty
for security.
The Sun
Fire T2000 has a unique hardware design and coupled with Solaris 10's software features secured web services only adds 10%.
Now users can use SSL-enabled web service by default. This is a huge
advantage for Sun customers.
Various Comparisons
- The Sun Fire T2000 delivers 24% faster on SPECweb2005
than the 4-core HP DL380G5 with 3.0GHz Intel Xeon 5160
(WoodCrest), while consuming 2.5X less power, and up to
3x higher SWaP.
- The Sun Fire T2000 is 13% faster on SPECweb2005
performance than the 4-core Dell PowerEdge 2950 with 3.0GHz Intel Xeon
5160 (WoodCrest).
- The Sun Fire T2000 is 10% faster on SPECweb2005 than the 8-core Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY RX600 S3 with
Intel Xeon 7140M.
- The Sun Fire T2000 is 10% faster on SPECweb2005
than the 8-core HP ProLiant DL585 G2 with 2.0 GHz AMD
Opteron 8212.
- The Sun Fire T2000 is 4% faster on SPECweb2005
than the 8-core HP Proliant DL585 with 2.6GHz AMD Opteron
885.
- The Dell 2950 equipped with 2 of
the latest Quad-core Intel Xeon 5300 Series “Clovertown”
running Red Hat Enterprise Linux delivers only 3% higher throughput
than the single socket Sun Fire T2000, but consumes nearly 55% more
power. As a result the T2000 delivers 1.5X better Performance per Watt
and SWaP
- The Sun Fire T2000 is 208% faster on SPECweb2005
than the 4-core IBM p5 550 with 1.9GHz POWER5+.
The Sun Java[TM] System Web Server 6.1 Service Pack 5 for 64-bit
Solaris 10 on SPARC hardware is optimized to leverage the 64-bit
processing environments.
This world record benchmark result
clearly demonstrates that the Sun Fire T2000 running the Solaris 10
OS and Java System Webserver 6.1 SP5 can support thousands of
concurrent web server sessions while allowing larger and more complex
Java applications to be run.

Benchmark Description
SPECweb2005, is the latest
industry standard benchmark for evaluating Web Server performance
developed by SPEC. The benchmark simulates multiple user sessions
accessing a Web Server and generating static and dynamic HTTP
requests. The major features of SPECweb2005 are:
- Measures simultaneous user sessions
- Dynamic content: currently PHP and JSP implementations
- Page images requested using 2 parallel HTTP connections
- Multiple, standardized workloads: Banking (HTTPS), E-commerce
(HTTP and HTTPS), and Support (HTTP)
- Simulates browser caching effects
- File accesses more accurately simulate today's disk access
patterns
