Sun and Oracle Demonstrate Outstanding Scalability

Helping customers find a highly scalable, low-cost collaboration platform for enterprise-wide use, Sun Microsystems, Inc., (sun.com) and Oracle (www.oracle.com) today announced exceptional performance achieved during a series of scalability tests.

The tests running Oracle Collaboration Suite on two Sun Fire systems, the Solaris OS, and Sun StorEdge storage arrays scaled to support more than 50,000 users performing typical daily collaboration operations for a duration of eight hours.

These performance tests give customers the opportunity to see how the solution would perform under real-world conditions in order to plan configuration requirements and system sizing. As a result of the testing, customers can now more accurately size their collaboration solutions, while obtaining the functionality needed for their critical collaboration needs. The Oracle Collaboration Suite Benchmark (OCSB) test measures the scalability and performance of the suite consisting of Oracle's Email, Files Online, Calendar and Web Conferencing products. The focus of the test is on server performance for enterprise deployments.

Oracle Collaboration Suite on Sun Fire systems provide organizations with a highly scalable, reliable and secure collaboration solution.

The test was generated in the Sun Oracle Applications Technology Center located in Menlo Park, CA, to emulate typical server performance for enterprise collaborations.
