Demonstrating its commitment to delivering the best servers for Oracle Applications and Oracle Database 11g, Oracle today announced new benchmark results for its SPARC T-Series and SPARC Enterprise M-Series servers. Oracle’s SPARC systems with Oracle Solaris and Oracle VM Server for SPARC, deliver highly optimized system performance, energy efficiency and scalability for customers running Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Applications in a mission-critical environments. These new benchmarks add to more than 70 previous record breaking performance results delivered by SPARC-based systems including world records for database, Java, Web, and enterprise applications, highlighting Oracle’s industry-leading performance on a wide range of enterprise workloads. “Oracle is committed to at least doubling application performance every two years on its SPARC servers with innovative hardware features, engineered and tuned to maximize our award-winning software,” said Masood Heydari, vice president of hardware development, Oracle. “These results demonstrate that Oracle’s tightly integrated solutions continue to drive better performance, scalability, systems throughput and security while delivering unrivaled customer value.” TPC-H@3000GB: Oracle recently announced a new world record non-clustered TPC-H benchmark result at 3TB scale factor demonstrating the superior performance and scalability of Oracle Database 11g Release 2 running on Oracle Solaris 10, and Oracle's SPARC Enterprise M9000 server utilizing Oracle’s Sun Storage 6180 arrays. Oracle’s complete data warehousing solution delivered the best performance among all competing single-system results, nearly doubling the previous top score and beating the best published IBM score at the 3000 GB scale factor by almost 2.5 times(1). Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne: Representing the most popular of Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications, this “Day-in-the-Life” Benchmark showcases the SPARC T3-1 server running the online component 25 percent faster than the POWER7-based IBM P750 system. Additionally, the SPARC T3-1 running Oracle WebLogic Server 11g R1 version 10.3.2, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, and Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.0.1 with Tools 8.98.3.3 along with Oracle Solaris has better response time and occupies only half the space of IBM P750 server.
