The HP ProLiant DL785 G6 is an industry leader in Java/J2EE based end to end transaction processing performance What are the benefits of using the HP ProLiant DL785 G6 for Oracle and Java/J2EE based end to end transaction processing performance? Many businesses aggressively use the Web to permit customers direct specification of product configuration, ordering, and status checking. In addition, businesses strive to fully automate manufacturing, inventory, supply chain management, and customer billing. The SPECjAppServer 2004 benchmark makes use of manufacturing, supply chain management, and order/inventory as the "storyline" of the business problem. It is heavyweight, mission critical, worldwide, 24x7, and necessitates use of a powerful and scalable infrastructure. HP platforms using Oracle provide organizations with a robust and reliable platform for mission critical applications.

Benchmark Configuration
The world record single node SPECjAppServer2004 result of 9,455.17 JOPS@Standard, used two ProLiant DL785 G6 servers running on Redhat Enterprise Linux Server 5.3. The application server ProLiant DL785 G6 running Oracle WebLogic Server Standard Edition Release 10.3.1, was configured with 8 Six-Core
AMD Opteron 2.8 GHz processors Model 8439SE, (48 cores, 8 chips, 6 cores/chip), 128 GB RAM, four HP NC364T Gigabit Network Adapters and one HP StorageWorks 70 Modular Smart Array Enclosure through one Smart Array P800/512MB SAS controller. The database server running Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7, was configured with 8 Six-Core AMD Opteron 2.8 GHz processors Model 8439SE, (48 cores, 8 chips, 6 cores/chip), 256 GB RAM, two HP NC364T Gigabit Network Adapters and four HP StorageWorks 70 Modular Smart Array Enclosures through three Smart Array P800/512MB SAS controllers.
What SPECjAppServer2004 measures
SPECjAppServer2004 (Java Application Server) is an industry standard multi-tier benchmark for measuring the performance of Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technology-based application servers. The workload is an application that emulates information flow among an automotive dealership, manufacturing, supply chain management, and an order/inventory system. SPECjAppServer2004 is an end-to-end application which exercises all major J2EE technologies implemented by compliant application servers as follows:
1. The web container, including servlets and JSPs
2. The EJB container
3. EJB2.0 Container Managed Persistence
4. JMS and Message Driven Beans
5. Transaction management
6. Database connectivity
SPECjAppServer2004 also heavily exercises all parts of the underlying infrastructure that make up the application environment, including hardware, JVM software, database software, JDBC drivers, and the system network. SPECjAppServer2004 was developed by the Java subcommittee's core design team. BEA, Borland, Darmstadt University of Technology, HP, IBM, Intel, Oracle, Pramati, Sun and Sybase participated in design, implementation and testing phases of the product. The performance metric is jAppServer Operations Per Second (SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS), which is the number of manufacturing work orders divided by the measurement period in seconds. Another metric with this benchmark but which is not part of the discussion in the paper is price/JOPS, which is the price of the System Under Test (including hardware, software, and support) divided by the JOPS.
