•
SPECweb2005_Support – 9,000 simultaneous sessions
The HS21 used two Dual Core Intel Xeon Processor 5160 (3.00GHz, 4MB L2 cache, 1333 MHz
FSB). The HS21 also used 16GB of memory, 64-bit SUSE Linux® Enterprise Server 9 with
Service Pack 2 operating system, SunJava 1.5.0-07 Java® Virtual Machine, 64-bit Accoria Rock
Web Server 1.3.3 HTTPS software, and Apache Tomcat 5.5.9.
