Zeus claims fastest Web server score ever

BRITISH FIRM Zeus Technology claimed its Web Server product has smashed the record for SPECweb99_SSL scores.

The firm said that it had scored 9,060 - which it claims is over twice as fast as its nearest competitor, IBM's Apache implementation.

The benchmark ran on a 16-way HP Integrity RX8620, said Zeus.

The firm said that it has also scored 21,000 with its software running on an IBM Eserver P series 690HPC.

By contrast, said Zeus, the fastest SPECWeb99 score running on MS IIS is only 8,001. It claims no SPECWeb99_SSL scores for IIS have ever been submitted. µ
