BEA Benchmarks WebLogic Event Server Performance, Proves Low Latency at High Data Rates
BEA has released a new benchmark study on BEA WebLogic Event Server performance, which it says demonstrates its ability to provide low latency at very high data rates. BEA entered the event driven architecture market in May, with the launch of WebLogic Event Server – pitched as the first and only Java application server designed for event-driven applications.
The benchmark application conducted in the study implemented a capital markets front office scenario in which an application monitors an incoming stream of market data watching for the occurrence of certain conditions that will then trigger an action. The study revealed that WebLogic Event Server was able to sustain an event injection rate of up to 1 million events per second while maintaining microsecond latencies on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 7350 series-based server. At this injection rate, the average event latency for the full processing path within the server was 67.3 microseconds, with 99.4 per cent of the events processed in less than 200 microseconds and 99.99 per cent processed in less than five milliseconds.
