IBM has written that the SPECjappServer2004 workload represents a, “…real-world customer environment.”2 On this point we both agree.
Did you know that the HP Integrity BL870c server blade significantly outperforms the POWER6 based IBM JS22 blade on this real world benchmark?
Please consider the following fact: |
Fact 1: Using a configuration that had the same number of processor cores on the J2EE appserver systems, the HP Integrity BL870c blade server delivered greater than 50% more performance than the IBM JS22 POWER6 blade. |

And the Intel Itanium beat IBM POWER6 even at a much lower processor clock frequency. Processor clock frequency alone is a poor measure of solution performance. As evidenced by this result HP provides real solution performance.

Better infrastructure performance means better business performance. |
No one industry standard benchmark can be used entirely to forecast an enterprise’s unique set of performance needs. That is why we designed HP Integrity servers to have balanced design able to handle the varied workloads found in today’s real world.
See HP Integrity server performance and benchmarks to see how HP Integrity Servers deliver balanced performance across a wide range of workloads.
