REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Jun 09, 2010 -- Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL)

News Facts

• Today, Oracle announced that Oracle® WebLogic Server 11g, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, together with Oracle Database 11g and Oracle Enterprise Linux, running on a Dell PowerEdge R810 rack server, achieved a best-in-class, dual processor result for the Intel® Xeon® x7560 platform and the best performance per processor of any result ever published with the SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark(1).
• This achievement adds to Oracle WebLogic Server's current SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark records including world record results in multi-node(2); dual-node(3); and single-node(4) categories; the highest performance ever achieved running a clustered database(5) and the highest performance per core(6) of any result ever published.

Benchmark Details

• Oracle WebLogic Server 11g and Oracle Database 11g delivered 5,739.17 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard (jAppServer Operations Per Second). The Java application server was running on a two-processor Dell PowerEdge R810 server with the Intel® Xeon® X7560 2.26 GHz processor. Oracle Database 11g was running on a similar hardware configuration. Both application server and database server were running Oracle Enterprise Linux.
• The Dell PowerEdge R810 is best suited for customers looking to reduce costs and streamline IT operations through virtualization. This is a unique four socket system in a high density 2U chassis. Advances in exclusive Dell memory management -- FlexMem Bridge -- enable the system to handle two and four socket workloads with full memory access.
• For the past decade, Oracle has consistently published record-setting application server benchmarks on a broad range of hardware and software platforms(7).

Supporting Quotes

• "Oracle WebLogic Server is the best application server for building and deploying enterprise Java EE applications," said Juan Loaiza, senior vice president, Systems Technology, Oracle. "This benchmark result is further proof of its superior performance in real-world environments."
• "With our latest generation of PowerEdge servers we're focused on delivering the right balance of performance, scalability and reliability," said Sally Stevens, vice president of Platform Marketing, Dell. "Our latest PowerEdge servers provide a balanced architecture and unique features such as FlexMem Bridge technology, helping customers save time and money while providing superior performance."
