Results for the webApp.secure performance tests
After performing our webApp.secure performance tests, we charted our test results, interpreted the results, and created recommendations.
The following tests were performed:
- Scaling the number of virtual CPUs on the webApp.secure z/VM® guest machine from one to two to four
- Vary the number of physical CPUs on the z/VM LPAR for the same number of virtual CPUs on the webApp.secure guests
The following table shows the configuration of the LPARs and the z/VM guests used for the tests.
| System/Guest | Memory | CPUs |
|---|---|---|
| z/VM | 5120 MB | 3(4)(5) |
| z/OS® | 4096 MB | 2 |
| webApp.secure | 512 MB | 1(2)(4) |
| Apache HTTP Server | 512 MB | 1 |
| Firewall1 | 512 MB | 1 |
| Firewall2 | 512 MB | 1 |
