White Paper ⏐Performance Report PRIMERGY TX150 S6 Version: 5.1, November 2008

Benchmark results

In April 2008 the PRIMERGY TX150 S6 was measured with one Xeon X3220 processor and 8 GB PC2-6400 DDR2-

SDRAM. Two quad-port Intel PRO/1000GT and one Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 (onboard) were used for the

network. A FibreCAT CX500 with 45 hard disks, which was connected via an Emulex LP10000DC fibre channel control-

ler, was used as disk subsystem. A RAID 5 was built across the 45 hard disks. The logging was done on a hard disk of

type Seagate ST380013AS. The operating system was resident on a Seagate ST3160815AS hard disk. Both hard disks

were connected with the onboard SATA controller. The measurement was performed using the HTTP software Accoria

Rock Web Server v1.4.6 (x86_64) under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 (2.6.18-53.el5 x86_64).

In May 2008 the PRIMERGY TX150 S6 was measured with one Xeon X3360 processor and 8 GB PC2-6400 DDR2-

SDRAM. Two quad-port Intel PRO/1000GT and one Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 (onboard) were used for the

network. Two FibreCAT SX88 with 24 hard disks, which were connected via an Emulex LPe11002 fibre channel control-

ler, were used as disk subsystem. A RAID 0 was built across the 24 hard disks. The logging was done on a hard disk of

type Seagate ST380013AS. The operating system was resident on a Seagate ST3160815AS hard disk. Both hard disks

were connected with the onboard SATA controller. The measurement was performed using the HTTP software Accoria

Rock Web Server v1.4.6 (x86_64) under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 (2.6.18-53.el5 x86_64).

In the class of servers with one Quad-Core processor, the PRIMERGY TX150 S6 achieved the best result.
