AdminServer Successfully Completes 10 Million-Policy Benchmark Test with Sun MicrosystemsLAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. --(Business Wire)-- AdminServer, Inc. today announced that it has completed a large volume policy benchmark test with Sun Microsystems. The test, performed at Sun's Solution Center (SSC) in Menlo Park, California, further validates AdminServer's performance and scalability. The combination of Sun's mid-range UltraSPARC(TM) IV+ series server platform and the AdminServer Policy Administration System demonstrated true enterprise class status and ability to support high volume processing of diverse insurance products. Lawrence Scott, Vice President, Global Financial Services Industry, Sun Microsystems commented, "The test results confirm that AdminServer's Policy Administration System represents a solution that is both efficient and highly scalable. Combine the performance with AdminServer's rules-driven architecture on the Solaris(TM) 10 Operating System and Sun Java(TM) Enterprise System, and you have a solution that offers insurers speed to market, flexibility, scalability and performance." Kevin Walma, CIO, AdminServer added, "We are extremely pleased with the results and would like to extend our appreciation to Sun Microsystems for their support through this extensive performance test. Given the architecture and design of the AdminServer System, we had confidence that it could easily manage high volumes of policies and processing - which it did, handling 400 concurrent users and a high volume of activities while operating on a data set of 2.65 terabytes." Walma continued, "Having the system's performance validated and documented will go a long way in making insurers even more comfortable in our XML rules-based solution with the proof that it is able to support even the largest carriers with diverse, large volume product portfolios." About the benchmark test Conducted over an eight-week period, the test included a test bed of over 10 million policies (Term, Universal Life, Indexed UL, and Variable and Payout Annuity) to represent high volume, in-force processing of a typical insurance carrier offering, and servicing multiple products with one system. Performance test results included the processing of over one million activities in just under six hours with an average throughput of over 177,000 activities per hour. The performance test also validated that the AdminServer system could easily handle 400 concurrent users while maintaining stable and consistent processing levels across all tiers.
