DB2 on UltraSPARC T1 (aka Niagara I) based system Benchmark Publication


On Jan 9,2006 Sun published SpecJAppServer2004 benchmark with WebLogic/DB2/Solaris 10 using Sun Fire T2000 servers using UltraSPARC T1 processors and Sun StorEdge 3320 storage array. The result is 801.70 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard .



This was the first public benchmark ever to use DB2 V8.2 on Sun Fire T2000. The published benchmark runs DB2 on Sun Fire T2000 with 6-cores 1Ghz UltraSPARC T1 . The DB2 license that would be required for the config is 6 x 30PVU= 180 PVUs (or using the old terminology about 1.8 CPU Licenses). This proves that the combination of DB2 on Sun Fire T2000 is an attractive platform considering various metrics like database License Prices, Power Ratings, Volume used by the server, etc.
