World Record Oracle E-Business Consolidated Workload on SPARC T4-2
- by Brian
Oracle set a World Record for the
Oracle E-Business Suite Standard Medium multiple-online module
benchmark
using Oracle's SPARC T4-2 and SPARC T4-4 servers which ran
the application and database.
Oracle's SPARC T4 servers demonstrate
performance leadership and world-record
results on Oracle E-Business Suite Applications R12 OLTP benchmark by
publishing the first result using multiple concurrent online
application modules with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 running
Solaris.
This results shows that a multi-tier configuration of SPARC T4 servers
running the Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1.2 application and Oracle
Database 11g Release 2 is
capable of supporting 4,100 online users with outstanding response-times,
executing a mix of complex transactions consolidating 4 Oracle
E-Business modules (iProcurement, Order Management, Customer Service
and HR Self-Service).
The SPARC T4-2 server in the application tier utilized about 65% and the SPARC T4-4 server
in the database tier utilized about 30%, providing significant
headroom for additional Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1.2 processing
modules, more online users, and future growth.
Oracle E-Business Suite Applications were run in
Oracle Solaris Containers on SPARC
T4 servers and provides a consolidation platform for multiple E-Business
instances.

Benchmark Description
The Oracle R12 E-Business Suite Standard Benchmark combines
online transaction execution by simulated users
with multiple online concurrent
modules to model a typical scenario for a global enterprise.
The online component exercises the common UI flows which are most
frequently used by a majority of our customers.
This benchmark utilized four concurrent flows of OLTP transactions,
for Order to Cash,
iProcurement, Customer Service and HR Self-Service
and measured the response times.
The selected flows model simultaneous business activities inclusive of
managing customers, services, products and employees.
