Microsoft and Intel introduce scalability and reliability of the Windows IA (Intel Architecture) server to the user held "Summit Enterprise & E-Business". Among these, the Nomura Research Institute (NRI) which is the member of ECA (Enterprise Computing Association) which promotes the introduction to the basic part of enterprise of the IA server "ES7000" of the Unisys which is the Windows 2000 based IA server machine and, the session which introduces the bench marking of the UNIX based server machine "Sun of the sun Enterprise 10000" (Starfire) did.

NRI, assumed that ES7000 exceeded Starfire in the performance, but, somewhat problem oh recognized also the callous in equal characteristic of test environment. Considering that, we have assumed that the IA server could prove the fact that it is something which it can correspond to the system which is the mission critical sufficiently.

The online bond broker system "Woodstock" which ECA developed was utilized in test environment of benchmark. The customer orders buying the stocks to the broker, the broker request for buying and selling lets flow to the market through. It is the system that promise notification is transmitted by the broker from the market, notifies the completion of buying and selling in the customer.

ES7000 and Starfire were utilized in the database, comparison of benchmark was done.

With the 1st test, it did which with 24CPU environment, you say that Starfire exceeded. Here, you say that it was thought size of the secondary cache ES7000 the 2M byte and Starfire the 4G byte and being difference and etc. as cause.

2nd time upgraded CPU of ES7000, result and ES7000 which were standardized with 16WAY barely exceeded Starfire.

With the 3rd test which exchanges JVM (XML purser) which is the architecture which does the communication between the server and, with XML to IBM JRE, as for ES7000, processing number of cases per 1 second being maximum, you say that it reached to approximately 1.5 times that Starfire.

But, 3rd time just ES7000 side has exchanged JVM (XML purser) to IBM JRE, when JVM of Starfire side is exchanged in the same way, we have assumed that there is a possibility of becoming the performance data which differs.

NRI the benchmark test listed the result which does.

First, the IA server verified that the performance which it can correspond to the business important matter which is the mission critical is shown again. In addition, JVM (XML purser), being found that it has an influence on performance largely, harvested. Furthermore, you listed also the fact that durability and the scalability for load with SQL Server 2000 environment come being verification.

On the one hand, because Woodstock in the oracle has not become native, both ES7000 and Starfire as for high performance you listed just ES7000 side exchanging JVM, as the future improvement point with thing and the 3rd test which cannot be expected.
