Got this from Dick, I am forwarding it to the list John Carr -------------- James Rich There are several public web sites you might want to look at to "get the facts". Ideas International is at: http://www.ideasinternational.com ... They posts multiple public benchmark results for lots of different BM Consortiums. IdeasInternational posts there findings in various "Top-10" results for each of the BMs they track. And from there you can get to the orginal SPEC consortium web site which has the detail BM submission reports by each of the vendors. Our SPECWeb99SSL submission is posted on their site at: http://www.spec.org/osg/web99ssl/results/res2002q3/web99ssl-20020819-00025.html I would also encourge the writer to consider the "Powered by Apache" vs Zeus web server discussion. Whereas HP has recently exceed our result .... they continue to use a "benchmarketing special" web server, i.e. Zeus. And when one reviews the Netcraft Survey on: http://www.netcraft.com/survey he would see that Apache Server is used 64% of the time in production web sites, and Zeus is <2%. There are many reason why Apache is preferred. Bottom line is that the iSeries Benchmark measurement team uses what we SELL/INSTALL to do our benchmarks. We do not use benchmark specials and then install some other tool or web server....just to try to get good BM results. Active Sites * Sept'02 * Percent * Oct'02 * Percent * Change Apache *10449418 *64.85 *10470848 *65.39 *0.54 Microsoft *4071863 *25.27 *4013397 *25.06 *-0.21 iPlanet *237802 *1.48 *227424 *1.42 *-0.06 Zeus *220729 *1.37 *215957 *1.35 *-0.02 I would also encourage the reader to remember that not all applications scale well on some platforms and that not all applications lend themselves to be parsed out across multiple systems (multiple 4 ways) to beat a 16 way SMP. It is well recognized in the tech trade press and consulting community that multiple systems are significantly more expensive to own/operate (Total Cost of Ownership) than a single system offers. For refer, I would suggest IDC, Gartner and Giga Group consulting reports.
