IBM eServer X3 Architecture PDF Application Server Performance Gains Document

The ability of application servers to deliver high performance varies greatly depending on the specific characteristics of a particular customer workload. IBM raises the bar for scalable, high-performance application servers with the introduction of IBM eServer X3 Architecture ? pioneering the third generation of IBM Enterprise X-Architecture XA-64e ™ chipset. Incorporating this new chipset, the IBM eServer xSeries 366 and 460 have demonstrated unprecedented levels of performance and availability.

X3 Architecture’s performance against the competition, as several typical application server functions, is demonstrated by the recently published record-setting benchmark results Since a number of typical application server functions, IBM eServer X3 Architecture provides significant improvements, at least in the overall system performance through the use of features not available on any competitor system.

This paper will illustrate the advantages of IBM eServer X3 Architecture for typical application server functions, such as SSL encryption, messaging, Web service interactions (eg, SOAP / XML serialization), HTTP services, and ODBC database interactions among different types of application server workloads. The paper presents the results of various test scenarios used to evaluate the performance which the reader can expect systems based on X3 Architecture.

The term “application server” is used broadly in the server world, but usually is a middle-tier server receives requests from client systems, retrieves data from a separate database and perform some data processing before returning a reaction. In this paper, the term “application server” refers to generally deployed, managed application server environments such as Java ™ application servers (eg IBM WebSphere ®) and Microsoft ®. NET application servers. The performance characteristics described in this document are derived from statistics collected from a selection of Microsoft. NET 1.1 applications running on IBM eServer xSeries 366.
