Sun
has obtained a world record SPECweb2005 performance result of 100,209
SPECweb2005 on the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 server, using a Sun
Storage F5100 flash array, running Solaris 10, Sun Web Server 7.0
update 5, and Java HotSpot™ Server VM.
Sun SPARC
Enterprise T5440 server delivers 21% greater SPECweb2005 performance
than the HP DL370 G6 with 3.2GHz Xeon W5580 processors, 40% greater
SPECweb2005 performance than the HP DL 585 G5 with four 3.114 GHz
Opteron 8393 SE processors, and 2x the SPECweb2005 performance of the
HP DL 580 G5 with four 2.66GHz Xeon X7460 processors. There are no IBM
POWER6 results on the SPECweb2005 benchmark.
For more details, please see the disclosure here on SPEC.org.
Second, A World Record In Transaction Processing Workloads - TPC-C.
Oracle Corporation announced
last month a world record TPC-C benchmark result for Oracle® Database
11g running on Sun SPARC® servers with CMT technology and the Sun
Solaris Operating System. It's a little known fact that the benchmark
actually used Sun Web Server 7 for connection multiplexing as it runs
TUXEDO (transaction processing monitor) NSAPI plugin. The system under test
comprised of - Oracle Database 11g with Oracle Real Application
Clusters and Oracle Partitioning and Tuxedo CFS-R and Sun Web Server
7.0 with Tuxedo plugin running on Solaris 10 10/09 - and achieved a
record-breaking 7.7 million tpmC at $2.34/tpmC.
For more details, please see full disclosure here on TPC.org.

Sun Web Server
is the secure web serving platform of choice for large-scale
enterprises world wide. Published by Sun Microsystems and Pearson
Education (Prentice Hall), here comes the authoritative, comprehensive
guide to Sun
Web Server 7.0, by Bill Nelson, Arvi Srinivasan and myself. We are
indebted to Bill Nelson - chief instructor training Web Servers
customers worldwide - who authored significant portion of
the book. Arvi - one of web tier architects - filled in several
valuable
sections too. Of course, we are proud to have the foreword by Scott
G. McNealy!

It's particularly a great endorsement when your customers say - I have
fallen in love with your products, is it not? Sun.com, javafax.com,
opensolaris.com and a number of online properties are managed by our
Sun.com engineering (whom I like to call it as the Enterprise 2.0
team!) I thought it was pretty neat when I read (only recently, my
bad), Jed Michnowicz praises simplicity of using Web Server 7.0.

Sun Web Server has a wiki home - http://wikis.sun.com/display/WebServer/Sun+Java+System+Web+Server. A couple of recent highlights:

Nearly six months after previous update release, Sun Web Server 7.0 Update 3 (U3) shipped last week. In addition to complying with SPECweb world record submission with multi-socket Huron systems launched earlier [see Rise of CMT systems], U3 release delivers important and incremental quality improvements to the product, consistent with the customer requested enhancements and platform additions. Most notable improvements include: IBM AIX platform support, Auto-deployment of web applications and stability of FastCGI based applications.
Please download the bits and review the release notes here.

With another impressive launch of multi-socket CMT systems, we have a new SPECweb world record publication today using the
upcoming Sun Web Server 7.0 Update 3 (to be available later this
quarter). With this, we are yet again demonstrating the power, scalability and
throughputof these CMT systems. Sun Web Server 7.0 is probably the best CMT ready main stream, general purpose web server today.
So, we are pushing the current world record - up by 1801 simultaneous
user sessions!

Nope, we are not talking about Web Server 8.0! Just a few updates into 2008!
Since its release earlier in 01/07, Sun Web Server 7.0 has been deployed widely into production uses at Sun
and by well respected sites. Update releases are continuing to help
improve quality incorporating features and performance innovations -
e.g. upgrade to Java container, PHP Add On, administration support for
FastCGI, etc. To top it all, WS7.0u2 released in 12/07 set the world record SPECweb benchmark with staggering performance on the coolest server platform on the planet (Niagara 2 based T5220), thanks to its MT-hot design ideal for multi-core CMT systems, a new innovative asynchronous accelerator cache design and a host top to bottom system level innovations such as 10Gbit Ethernet networking etc.
With MySQL now integral part of Sun's Software portfolio,
there is no question that '08 is a significant milestone for Sun
Software and Web Server. After all, our blogs.sun.com infrastructure is
powered by Web Server + MySQL running on a couple of Niagara T2000
servers. Indeed, this combination is very potent in that it can handily
outperform the competition (Microsoft IIS and SQL Server) both in raw
performance, throughput and power consumption, as demonstrated by this OLTP/Web worlkload benchmark.
Another cool article titled - "Using Subversion, NetBeans IDE, and Sun Java System Web Server With Java ME" by Richard Marejka. Demonstrates using Web Server's WebDAV capability (Admin GUI lets you create DAV Collections and all that) to configure Subversion which can be used from NetBeans for your development activities. Richard's article is showcased on the web tier developer hub.
