Introduction

HP, in conjunction with Microsoft and Siebel Systems, completed an outstanding Siebel 7.7

benchmark result in on a scalable infrastructure that includes an HP Integrity server running Microsoft

SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition and HP ProLiant Blade application servers. Conducted as part of

the Siebel 7.7 Platform Sizing and Performance Program (PSPP), this benchmark, validated by Siebel

Systems, demonstrates that the scale-up capability of HP Integrity servers, in combination with the

scale-out power of HP ProLiant servers, easily meets the performance requirements of the most

demanding Siebel enterprise customers.

These results demonstrate excellent scalability from our previously announced results of 8,000 users

achieved using a 4-processor rx4640 Integrity server for the database server. These results

demonstrate the performance and cost advantage of HP Integrity servers over competitive

servers, which took twice as many processors to run the same Siebel 7.7 benchmark, and

demonstrated support for only 4,000 more users.

What makes it work

The performance results for Siebel 7.7 were achieved with an HP Integrity rx8620 database server

configured with 8 Intel® Itanium® 2 1.5 GHz processors. HP ProLiant BL20p G2 blade servers

configured with two Intel® Xeon® DP3.2 GHz processors and 8 GB of memory were used as

application servers to run complex business scenarios in the Siebel applications. These servers all ran

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, and were load balanced by Siebel Native Load

Balancing. This powerful combination demonstrates outstanding Siebel performance across multiple

servers without degradation. HP BladeSystem servers offer a flexible and scalable environment that

allows you to scale-out your application tier cost effectively as you adapt to changes in your business

climate.

HP platforms—the number one choice for Siebel customers

As a Global Strategic Partner of Siebel and the leader in Windows-based server sales overall, HP,

together with Microsoft, delivers a proven, scalable, and easily managed environment for the most

demanding Siebel customers.

About the Siebel 7.7 PSPP benchmark

The Siebel 7.7 PSPP benchmark provides performance and scalability characteristics of the Siebel 7.7

eBusiness Industry Application Suite. The test simulates real-world requirements of a large

organization consisting of 14,000 concurrent active users in a call center organization, including

sales and services representatives running Siebel Financial Service Call Center, a partner

management organization with customers (Web sales and Web services) running Siebel Partner

Relationship Management.

The Siebel Scripting Engine and Siebel Workflow were used to incorporate business process

management customizations. The application also simulated integration with Web systems using the

Siebel Enterprise Application Integration component and the Siebel HTTP Adaptor. In this case, an

eight hour business day included more than 2.2 million EAI transactions.

End users were simulated using Mercury LoadRunner version 7.8 SPI. The average think time

between operations was 13-23 seconds. The Siebel 7.7 Scripting Engine was invoked to assign

service requests and navigate the user to the appropriate views. Siebel Workflow Manager executed

workflow steps based on inserted service requests. The Siebel 7.7 EAI HTTP Adapter executed

requests between different Web infrastructures.

The HP difference

As the number one platform choice of Siebel customers, with over 2600 joint customers worldwide,

HP provides the foundation for building an Adaptive Enterprise in which business and IT are

synchronized to capitalize on change. With the HP Adaptive Enterprise strategy, customers can

tighten the link between IT and business objectives in measurable ways, allowing them to rapidly

respond to, and even anticipate, new market requirements and opportunities. By using both HP

Integrity servers and HP BladeSystem servers, this benchmark demonstrates how the flexibility and

interoperability of HP enterprise servers delivers an adaptive and flexible infrastructure to meet the

business and technical needs of a dynamic enterprise. As supported by this Siebel benchmark, the

HP Adaptive Enterprise offers the best way to meet today’s dynamic market pressures and to build a

more cost-effective, agile foundation for IT and business.

HP BladeSystem infrastructures

HP BladeSystem servers offer a highly flexible and scalable environment that lets enterprises embrace

change, while dramatically reducing total cost of ownership.

HP BladeSystem is the next evolution of industry-standard scale-out architectures and provides a cost-

effective way to build an infrastructure optimized for efficiency and change. The ProLiant server

family is the market leader in industry-standard servers. BladeSystem servers are extending that

leadership. BladeSystem servers are available in 2 and 4-processor configurations using both Intel

Xeon and AMD Opteron processors. ProLiant servers, including the ProLiant BL20p-G2 blade server

used in this benchmark, deliver outstanding price/performance, availability, ease of management,

and solutions integration.

HP Integrity servers

The HP Integrity server family, designed to meet the most demanding enterprise workloads, delivers

unprecedented performance, multi-OS flexibility, high availability, and unmatched investment

protection based on industry-standards for enabling business agility and better return on IT.

HP FIRST: HP, the leading platform choice for Siebel customers, is the

only vendor to complete a Siebel 7.7 benchmark in a scale-up, scale-out

architecture to meet the needs of the most demanding customers.
