The Sun Fire E4900 server running with 1.95GHz UltraSPARC IV+ processors eclipsed the performance
of the 2.2GHz Power5+ Bull Escala PL1650R+. [2]
Sun achieved a world record number of users when running Peoplesoft Financials 8.4 Online benchmark using Oracle9i
and Sun Fire E2900 and E4900 servers. This result makes Sun the UNIX leader for scalability and performance on high volume, real-world
online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads for Peoplesoft Financials, outperforming the nearest competitor by 15% (1). A combination
of Sun Fire E2900 and E4900 servers, Sun StorEdge 6120 and the Solaris OS demonstrate that the Sun SPARC/Solaris platform is optimized for
OLTP in highly secure, highly available environments, enabling organizations to meet their service-level agreements (SLAs) and maximize
return on investment (ROI). [1]
