Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP5 (Sun ONE web 6.1) out performed Apache 1.3.33 over 50% in the 10000 and 50000 tests but failed miserably on the multiple requests tests. I think maybe because of the size of box I was using wasn’t enough for Sun ONE. I did tweak Sun ONE web to try and get better results but it wasn’t enough of a boost to come near to Apaches results.. What was interesting was when the machine booted up with Apache running, I would run a test on Apache and see 100 requests per second, but if I shut Apache down then started it back up I would continuously get in the 200+ requests per second. I also tested Apache 2 default install and it didn’t come near to what Apache 1.3.33 was doing.

Opensource giant SUN is releasing its ULTRA SPARC design under Opensource (GPL) . While releasing almost every software of its under opensource .It will be interesting to see what happens with JAVA or Solaris !.
I had the oppurtunity to try out SOLARIS. The visit also saw the BETA release of BELENIX the Liev Boot frm CD of SOlaris developed by 4 bangalore engineering students.
Coming to the SPARC its not a secret that every move to opensource softwares is usually a reply to Microsofts products.
The Openoffice.org project was to combat the huge popularity and application of MS-Office. To match msoffice in short period of time it had no other option but to opensource the project so that a large pool of developers from all over could work on it.
As it can be seen Openffice has more than 3 million lines of source code and its source is nice 3GB . Whats also seen is the fact that SUN has its own Office (STAR OFFICE) in its OS and its not a secret these two r simply similar .
In the end who has gained much ? the end user for having a free software ? the opensource community as such with developers ? or the SUN considering it has managed to develop such huge applications in a relatively small period of time ?
Well everyone stands to win in this case SUN for it money :) user for the same ( he doesnthav to shell for Openoffice and doenthav to look at the back of CD for serial scratch them and so onn… jus a download will do ) .
What do you people think ?
whos the beneficiary ?
End user ?
SUN ?
or the OSS community as such ! (developers)
