Oracle sets new world record benchmark on Itanium
On June 24, Oracle announced a new world record benchmark on Itanium. Here’s an excerpt from the release:
“Today, Oracle announced world record multi-node SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark results for Oracle(R) Fusion Middleware.
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 18 percent greater performance per core.”
