The App Server perf. team achieved another world first today - a SPECjAppServer2004 submission using only free software - Sun Java System App. Server PE 8.1, Solaris 10 and MySQL - all running on Sun AMD Opteron boxes. Not only does that deliver some pretty awesome throughput for the price it does it in a compatible and therefore portable way - ie. the configuration passes the very strict J2EE Compatibilty Test Suite.

There's a thread on TSS, submission details on spec.org and more on Tom Daly's blog.

So free isn't really good enough anymore - you have to be free, fast and robust - unless you have all the free time, power, air and rack space you need.
