This report details the results of an IBM study of the WebSphere® Application Server version 4.0 running under AIX® 5L™ version 5.1 on an IBM eServer™ pSeries™ 660 Model 6M1. The internal benchmark Trade 2 was used to measure the performance of the p660-6M1.
This report discusses the environment and the final results achieved in requests per second for a workload running in a two-tier environment. A run-rule of 100 users making 500,000 requests of the WebSphere server was used.
The system tested was an IBM eServer pSeries 660 Model 6M1 running at 750 MHz with 8 RS64 III processors, 16 GB of memory (RAM), a total of 8 SSA disk drives on a rack enclosure divided into two loops, a built-in 10/100 Ethernet adapter, a Gigabit Ethernet card and a single internal SCSI drive to hold the AIX operating system. The machine used to drive the workload is a single Netfinity 6000R with 4 700 MHz Pentium® III processors with 2 GB of memory (RAM), a single SCSI drive to hold the Red Hat Linux® 6.2 operating system and a Gigabit Ethernet card connect to the pSeries 660 Model 6M1 via a point-to-point connection.
