Benchmarks 
Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Scaling with IBM POWER6 and IBM i 
This paper describes the results of recent performance measurements which demonstrate the scalability of Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne on IBM Power Systems POWER6 processor-based servers running IBM i. The results shows near linear scalability across several measurements of 500, 1000, and 2000 web-based users on two, four, and eight core configurations. It also shows a new high-water mark of 2400 web-based users on an eight core configuration.
Customer case study of UBE Performance on POWER6 
This paper describes Universal Batch Engine (UBE) performance tests done for the Donaldson Company to assess the performance improvements available from upgrading to IBM i 6.1 and to POWER6 processors. The results show that i 6.1 provided an improvement of approximately 10-13 percent when compared to i 5.4. The results also show that POWER6 processors and i 6.1 together provided an improvement of approximately 58 percent when compared to POWER4 processors and i 5.4. This validates previous results which indicate significant performance improvements available from POWER6 processors and i 6.1.
Power6 performance testing 
This paper describes measurements that demonstrate the significant performance improvements available to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne clients as a result of recent POWER6 processor, IBM i 6.1, and WebSphere Application Server 6.1 product announcements. In addition to impressive reductions in processor and memory requirements for web-based clients, test results show more than a 30% reduction in UBE (batch) elapsed times.
JDE EnterpriseOne 8.11 SP Benchmark Validation Test with IBM System i5 (172KB)
In June 2006, IBM conducted a validation test in Rochester, Minnesota (USA) to measure the online performance of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 8.11 SP1 with Tools 8.96_A1 on an IBM System i5 Model 570 with four 2.20Ghz advanced POWER5 processors. These tests were conducted using an "All-on-i" configuration in which one instance of i5/OS is used for web, application, and database serving. This test used IBM WebSphere 6.0.2.7, V5R4 of i5/OS, and DB2 for i that is an integrated part of i5/OS.
POWER 6 EnterpriseOne Benchmark
This paper describes tests which demonstrate improved price/performance for Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne on the IBM System i platform based on recent product announcements including new POWER6 processors.
