Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Running on Cisco Unified Computing Systems Delivers Highest Performance Per Core; Beats IBM WebSphere
Redwood Shores, Calif. – March 16, 2011
News Facts
Today, Oracle announced that Oracle® WebLogic Server 11g (www.oracle.com/appserver/index.html) , a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g (www.oracle.com/us/products/middleware/index.htm) , together with Oracle Database 11g (www.oracle.com/database/index.html) Release 2 and Oracle Linux (www.oracle.com/us/technologies/linux/index.html) running on Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) B440 M1 Blade Servers achieved a world record result SPECjEnterprise2010 industry standard benchmark(1).
Oracle® WebLogic Server 11g together with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 outperforms the best IBM WebSphere result with IBM DB2 9.7 on this benchmark, using the same number of cores. (2)
This result demonstrates outstanding performance and scalability of Oracle® WebLogic Server by achieving the highest EjOPS per core of any SPECjEnterprise2010 result to date.
Benchmark Details
Oracle WebLogic Server 11g with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 achieved 17,301.86 SPECjEnterprise2010 EjOPS. Oracle WebLogic Server was running on two Cisco Unified Computing System B440 M1 Blade Servers, each with four, eight-core Intel Xeon x7560 2.26 GHz processors. Both Application Server and Database Server were running Oracle Linux.
SPECjEnterprise2010 is a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE)-based industry standard benchmark, which tests an end-to-end technology infrastructure that includes server hardware, Java Virtual Machine (JVM), database, operating system, storage and network subsystems.
For the past decade, Oracle has consistently submitted record-setting Java application server benchmarks on a broad range of hardware and software platforms (3,4). For current leading results, visit: www.oracle.com/solutions/performance_scalability/benchmark_results.html.
