Achieving Unmatched Value and Performance from Oracle's T5 Servers: The Real Story [30921]
60-Minute Webcast
IT organizations are under increasing pressure to deliver new services to grow the business, support new requirements for mobile, social networking and cloud services, as well as provide the business with unique competitive advantage through better IT services. And they are expected to achieve all this with better application performance, availability, and security, and within flat or shrinking IT budgets.
Oracle's new T5 servers redefine the economics of enterprise computing with a whole new line up of midrange and high-end servers designed and integrated to address these IT challenges head-on, and at a fraction of competitor's costs.
Attend this webcast and you will:
- Learn Oracle's strategy to accelerate application performance by 2X or greater every 2 years
- Learn how Oracle designs and builds HW to run Oracle SW more securely and efficiently, and how the new T5 and M5 servers deliver unmatched performance and value
- Understand the details of Oracle's 17 world record benchmarks for T5, and how this directly benefits Oracle HW customers
- Understand how Oracle's T5 servers consistently and decisively deliver better performance and value than IBM systems that sell for much higher prices
Learn how Oracle designs and builds Hardware to run Enterprise Software faster, and how Oracle's new SPARC servers deliver industry leading price performance while simplifying IT.

Siebel 8.1.1.4 Benchmark on SPARC T5 [30630]
Highest User Count to Date in this Benchmark
Oracle SPARC T5 servers have set have new Siebel 8.1.1.4 benchmark results executed on a mix of SPARC T5-2, SPARC T4-2 and SPARC T4-1 servers, simulating the actions of a large corporation with 40,000 concurrent active users, Giri Mandalika posts. Throughput on the Financial Services Call Center mode was 273,786 transactions/hour for 28,000 users; for Order Management, it was 59,553 transactions/hour for 12,000 users. Siebel database was hosted on a Sun Storage F5100 Flash Array consisting 80 x 24 GB flash modules (FMODs). Fourteen iPlanet Web Server virtual servers were configured with Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) plug-in to handle 40,000 concurrent user load.

SPARC T5-2 Achieves JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Benchmark World Records [30620]
Bests IBM Power 770 by 1.4x
Oracle's SPARC T5-2 two-chip server running Oracle Solaris Containers and consolidating JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, Oracle WebLogic servers and the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 produced World Record batch throughput for single system results on Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Day-in-the-Life benchmark. The SPARC T5-2 delivered 12,000 online users at 180 msec average response time while concurrently executing a mix of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne long and short batch processes at 198.5 UBEs/min (Universal Batch Engines per minute). The SPARC T5-2 delivered throughput of 880 UBEs/min while executing the batch-only workload performance throughput 2.7x faster per chip than the IBM Power 770 four-chip server.

SPARC T5-2 Posts Yet Another Leading Benchmark Result [30523]
Scores Siebel CRM Benchmark World Record
Among its many recent record breaking benchmark results, Oracle's SPARC T5-2 Server line now numbers world-leading performance on Siebel CRM. SPARC T5-2 servers running the application tier achieved 40,000 users with sub-second response time and with throughput of 333,339 business transactions per hour on the Siebel PSPP benchmark (including Siebel Call Center and Order Management System), delivering 2X better performance on a per chip basis compared to earlier published SPARC T4 numbers. In this benchmarking exercise the SPARC T5-2 server used Oracle Solaris Zones which provide flexible, scalable and manageable virtualization to scale the application within and across multiple nodes.

SPARC T5-8 Server Delivers World Record TPC-C Single System Performance Results [30424]
Bests the Performance of IBM's Top Contenders
Oracle's SPARC T5-8 server equipped with eight 3.6 GHz SPARC T5 processors achieved a world record result of 8,552,523 tpmC for a single system on the TPC-C benchmark, demonstrating this world record database performance running Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition with Oracle Partitioning. This result shows that the SPARC T5-8 server is 2.4 times faster per chip compared to IBM Power 780 three-node cluster results for TPC-C tpmC and is 2.5 times less expensive per $/tpmC. The SPARC T5-8 server delivers 1.4 times better performance than the 32-processor IBM Power 595, at one-fifth the price/performance. This configuration will be available 09/25/13.
