Sun ZFS Storage 7420 Appliance Achieves 2-Node World Record SPECsfs2008 NFS Benchmark [26084]
Outperforms Netapp FAS6240 2- and 4-node Storage Systems at Better Price Point
Oracle's BestPerf site reports the triumph of the Sun ZFS Storage 7420 Appliance in the SPECsfs2008 NFS Benchmark. The 7420 delivered a world record two-node result of 267,928 SPECsfs2008_nfs.v3 Ops/sec with an Overall Response Time (ORT) of 1.31 msec on the SPECsfs2008 NFS benchmark. The vanquished solutions include NetApp's dual-controller and 4-node high-end FAS6240 storage systems and the EMC VG8 and NS-G8 storage systems. BestPerf notes that the Sun ZFS Storage 7420 appliance delivered 1.4x higher throughput than the dual-controller NetApp FAS6240 and 2.6x higher throughput than the dual-controller NetApp FAS3270 on the benchmark at less than half the price.

Oracle Achieves World Record Two Processor Result with SPECjEnterprise2010 Benchmark [25962]
Record Is a 53 Percent Improvement over Previous Two-Processor Marks
Oracle WebLogic Server, running on Oracles Sun Fire x86 servers, together with Oracle Linux and Oracle Database 11g Release 2, set a world record result for a two-processor system with the industry-standard SPECjEnterprise2010 benchmark. This benchmark result -- 8,310.19 SPECjEnterprise2010 EjOPS (Enterprise Operations Per Second -- is the highest EjOPS per core and per processor of any result ever published with the SPECjEnterprise2010 benchmark. This Oracle configuration delivered a 53 percent improvement upon the previous best two processor result, showcasing the performance of Sun Fire x86 servers, based on new Intel Xeon E5 processors, running Oracle software across multiple tiers.
