Platform Edition benchmark

Lots of people are familiar with the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition as the J2EE server they downloaded as part of the J2EE SDK. But I bet a lot of those people don't realize that you can use that application server in production for free.

Sun has now published some impressive SPEC benchmarks for SJS Application Server Platform Edition. I can't wait to see the price/performance numbers for this configuration. With a free application server and the price/performance of the V20Z Opteron servers it's going to be very impressive.

Thanks to Rich for both the original link and for all of the work he and his product team have done to make this possible.
