Looking for the fastest possible Java performance on both your clients and
servers?
IBM continues to lead the industry in delivering state-of-the-art, high
performance Java(TM) solutions. And the benchmarks are here to prove it...

HEADLINE: Warp Server performance taking off in support of Java! There is
NO BETTER PLACE TO BE than IBM!
The comprehensive performance reports for IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit, Java
(superscript: (TM)) Edition, Version 1.1.7 have been completed. These
reports provide additional information about the performance enhancements
the OS/2 Java team achieved in the 1.1.7 release. This report in its
entirety can be viewed and printed from
http://www.software.ibm.com/os/warp/performance/jdk117_os2perf.htm.
HEADLINE: On the client, Warp 4 or WorkSpace On-Demand. The best transition
to thin clients and Java applications.
Take a look at how IBM's Java versions have pulled way ahead of the
Microsoft JVM (Version 2.0). When IBM released JDK 1.1.4 some time ago the
performance was comparable, but now JDK 1.1.7 is nearly TWICE AS FAST!

HEADLINE: On the server, Warp Server Advanced SMP.
Considering Java, thin clients, and/or network computing? It's time to pay
attention to the new Warp Server for e-business. With the addition of
WebSphere and web-based server management tools, Warp Server for e-business
can easily keep up with your performance needs. (See
http://www.software.ibm.com/os/warp/warp-server.)

HEADLINE: Warp Server, Simply the Best SPECjvm98 Performer.
The SPECjvm98 score for the OS/2 JDK 1.1.7 on an IBM Netfinity 350 MHz with
256MB RAM was an astounding 21.4. This score represents the best score as
reported to SPEC during the fourth quater of 1998, and it stands at the top
of the best five JDK performers available at the SPEC web site. (See "Chart
8 - SPECjvm98 Benchmark - Top 5 performers.")

So why suffer with slow Internet solutions? Take another look at what IBM
has accomplished with its certified Java(TM) technologies.
