The Sun Fire E6900 server boosted its performance on the SPECjbb2005 benchmark by an impressive 15%
by using the new 1.6.0_02 version of the Java HotSpot 32-Bit Server Virtual Machine (VM). The SPECjbb2005 benchmark
provides an enhanced workload that is implemented to reflect how real-world applications are actually designed and
perform. Since this benchmark stresses the implementation of the Java VM, these results demonstrate the superior
performance of this latest release. The Sun Fire E6900 server with 16 1.95GHz US-IV+ processors achieved 408,621
SPECjbb2005 bops, 25,539 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM versus the previously published figures 354,733 SPECjbb2005 bops, 22,171
SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM using the 1.6.0 VM. SPEC, SPECjbb reg tm of Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation.
The Sun Fire E6900 Server with 24 1.95 GHz US-IV+ processors, 96GB memory, and running the Oracle 10g
database on Solaris 10 achieved 6,160 SD benchmark users with a 1.99 second average response time, Cert#2007023. This
sets a new world record for systems with 24 or fewer processors. The SAP Standard Application SD (Sales and Distribution)
Benchmark is a two-tier ERP business test that is indicative of full business workloads of complete order processing and
invoice processing, and demonstrates the ability to run both the application and database software on a single system and
represents the critical tasks performed in real-world ERP business environments. SAP, R/3, mySAP reg TM of SAP AG in

The Sun Fire E6900 server with 16 1.95GHz US-IV+ processors achieved 354,733 SPECjbb2005
bops, 22,171 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM on the SPECjbb2005 benchmark. This beats the published 16-core IBM P5 570
with 2.2 GHz POWER5+ processors results of 326,651 SPECjbb2005 bops, 20,415 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM by 9%. The
SPECjbb2005 benchmark provides an enhanced workload that is implemented to reflect how real-world applications
are actually designed and perform, demonstrating the power of integrated elements of the Sun Fire E6900 server,
the Solaris 10 Operating System and the 1.6.0 version of the Java HotSpot 32-Bit Server Virtual Machine. SPEC,

Seven Sun Fire T2000 servers running BEA Weblogic 9.0 Advantage Edition and a Sun Fire E6900 equipped with
20 UltraSPARC IV+ processors running Oracle 10g Database Enterprise Edition delivered a World Record result of 4098.77
JOPS@Standard for the SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark. This result outperforms the previous record held by HP for a cluster of
HP rx4640 servers and an HP 9000 Superdome. Results also show 40% better performance than IBM's best result. [2]
The UltraSPARC IV / Solaris platform has demonstrated another World Record on two Sun Fire E6900 servers,
each equipped with 24 UltraSPARC IV 1.2 GHz processors, running the Solaris 10 and 9 OS, BEA Weblogics Server 8.1, and Oracle
Database 10g Enterprise Edition. This World Record demonstrates that the Sun Fire E6900 server delivers the best performance in
the SPECjAppServer2002 DualNode benchmark, proving the UltraSPARC IV / Solaris platform is optimized for developing multi-tier
enterprise applications on J2EE. The combination of the Solaris 10 and 9 OS, one running on each Sun Fire E6900 server, further
demonstrates the compatibility and interoperability of the robust UltraSPARC IV / Solaris platform. [1]
