  • Accelerating Oracle's Peoplesoft Applications
    Accelerating Oracle’s PeopleSoft Applications Achieving World-Record Performance on Oracle's SPARC T7 and M7 Servers. O R A C L E W H I T E P A P E R | O C T O B E R 2 0 1 5 Introduction Organizations increasingly depend on Oracle’s PeopleSoft applications to provide sophisticated enterprise resource planning (ERP) capabilities to meet their growing needs. PeopleSoft applications provide innovative business and industry solutions and powerful ERP modules that are designed to address the most-complex business requirements. At the same time, deploying high-performance infrastructure that scales with the business requires a comprehensive approach that combines hardware and software into secure and effective solutions. Oracle’s SPARC M7 processor–based servers represent an ideal technology platform for deploying PeopleSoft applications. The following results of benchmark testing conducted by Oracle demonstrated that Oracle’s SPARC T7-2 and SPARC M7-8 servers, which are both based on Oracle’s SPARC M7 processor, can support multiple tiers for mission-critical enterprise applications, when combined with Oracle VM Server for SPARC virtualization technology: » PeopleSoft Financials 9.2 on the SPARC T7-2 server. The SPARC T7-2 server has set a world record for PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials 9.2 General Ledger (GL) Journal Edit and Post (with combination editing) procesing 200 million journal lines in 18.60 minutes at 10,742,688 journal lines per minute. Testing utilized only the resources of a single SPARC M7 processor for both PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials and Oracle Database, resulting in only 62 percent CPU utilization.
