9 Domino 7.0 Performance

10 Performance Testing The following information reflects measurements performed on pre-ga builds of Domino 7. Results in deployed environments will vary. Measurements conducted using Notesbench, with R6Mail and R6iNotes workloads Comparisons conducted with Domino 7 beta 2 (and later), versus Domino 6.5. Identical system configuration used for each test, including single Domino partition and with Transaction Logging disabled. Performance optimization work will continue until final Domino 7 test cycle

11 Domino 7.0 Performance Highlights Domino 7 NRPC scalability has increased by at least 50 % on all platforms Removed limit of 10,000 users per partition Domino 7 DWA scalability has increased by at least 20 % on all platforms Domino 7 DWA CPU has decreased by at least 20 % on most platforms We will continue improving D7 performance until we ship Domino 7 beta with Domino 6.5 on same system configuration with one Domino partition and R6 Notesbench mail workloads

12 Examples of Domino 7.0 Improvements Notes NRPC (R6Mail) AIX 5.2 Domino K users, Domino 7-15K users CPU/user cost remained same Linux SuSE SLES 8 D6.5-3K R6Mail users, D7-10K users Domino Web Access (DWA) (R6iNotes) Solaris 9 CPU/user cost decreased with Domino 7 Domino K users, Domino 7-6.5K users Windows 2003 (.Net) Domino K users, Domino 7-5.5K users CPU/user cost decreased with Domino 7
