REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

News Facts

    --  Today, Oracle announced world record multi-node SPECjAppServer2004
        benchmark results for Oracle(R) Fusion Middleware.(1)
    --  The combination of Oracle WebLogic Server, a component of Oracle Fusion
        Middleware, together with Oracle Database 11g on mission-critical HP
        Integrity server blades running HP-UX 11i v3 delivered the
        record-breaking results, further demonstrating Oracle Fusion
        Middleware's leadership in Java application server performance and
        scalability.

-- With this result, Oracle surpasses the best IBM WebSphere multi-node result with IBM DB2 by delivering more than 17 percent greater performance per core. (2)

Benchmark Details

    --  Oracle WebLogic Server 10g R 3 together with Oracle Database 11g
        achieved 26,655.32 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard (jAppServer
        Operations Per Second).  Oracle WebLogic Server was running on 16 HP
        Integrity BL870c server blades, each with four Intel(R) Itanium(R)
        processor 9100 series (1.6 GHz).  The database server was running on an
        HP Integrity Superdome server with 64 Intel(R) Itanium(R) processor 9100
        series (1.6 GHz) and HP StorageWorks 8100 Enterprise Virtual Arrays. 
        Both application server and database tiers were running HP-UX 11i v3.
    --  For more than five years, Oracle has submitted record-setting
        application server benchmarks on a broad range of hardware and software
        platforms. Oracle is the performance and price/performance leader in
        multiple SPECjAppServer 2001(3) and SPECjAppServer2002(4) benchmark
        categories and also holds the world records for best performance and
        price/performance in the Ecperf (5) benchmark of J2EE application
        servers reported in July 2002.

-- SPECjAppServer2004 is a multi-tier benchmark for measuring the performance of a representative J2EE application and each of the components that make up the application environment, including hardware, application server software, JVM software, database software, JDBC drivers and the system network.
