UCS Record Breaking Intel Blade System
Hot off the press! Cisco UCS breaks performance records, which is just one of the reasons why you can run any and all workloads whether they are virtual or not.
Here are the records that were broken:

Cisco Unified Computing System B250 M2 Server set a new record with results of 35.83 @ 26 tiles in the VMware VMmark™ benchmark, which measures virtualization performance using a server consolidation workload. This represents a 42 percent improvement over the previous highest two-socket published result.
Cisco Unified Computing System C250 M2 Server set a new record on the SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark, which measured application server performance, running Oracle WebLogic Server application and Oracle 11gR2 database on the blade as part of the software stack, demonstrating class-leading Oracle performance for a single instance database. The Cisco Unified Computing System increased performance by 30% compared to previously published two-socket single-node server results.
Cisco also achieved top results in several key High Performance Computing (HPC) benchmarks including SPECfp_rate_base2006, SPECompM2001, SPECompL2001, and Linpack, as well as the compute intensive integer performance benchmark, SPECint_rate_base2006.

Steve, the SPECjAppServer result also includes an Oracle 11gR2 database on the blade as part of the software stack, demonstrating class-leading Oracle performance for a single instance database.
