"The combination of Oracle and the Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST servers let companies operate cost-effectively by taking advantage of industry-standard solutions while achieving high performance and reliability," said Judson Althoff, VP, Platform Alliances at Oracle. "Oracle believes this new PRIMEQUEST server will enhance reliability, availability and scalability, and will expand with Oracle the customers' choice of business critical IT deployment."
The new PRIMEQUEST 500 series servers are ideal for mission-critical applications that demand high availability, robust performance, enhanced flexibility and optimum resource usage. Typical application deployments for PRIMEQUEST servers include large-scale database and online transaction processing environments, legacy modernization, SAP platform, and database/server consolidation. Offering up to 64 processor cores accessing 2TB of uniform main memory in a maximum of 16 partitions, PRIMEQUEST is at the forefront of high-end systems capable of hosting business-critical operations.
The PRIMEQUEST 500 servers integrate the dual-core Intel® Itanium® 2 processors with a number of architectural design features from Fujitsu to offer a unique combination of power and flexibility. Coupling the advanced eXtended PARtitioning (XPAR) capabilities of PRIMEQUEST servers with the Itanium® 2 Intel® Virtualization Technology offers customers the most advanced virtualization capabilities on the market. Not only can system resources such as CPU and memory be partitioned, but I/O Units can also be individually partitioned to optimize resource allocations on a per-partition basis. Augmenting the PRIMEQUEST physical partitioning capabilities, future enhancements built upon the Intel® Virtualization Technology technology will host virtual partitions, offering a rich multitude of partitioning options. Furthermore, partitions can be defined with System Mirror mode, offering industry-leading fault immunity in the memory and cross-bar implementation.
"Together Fujitsu and Intel are providing state-of-the-art design and system architecture to give enterprises the flexibility and freedom they desire for mission-critical applications," commented Thomas Kilroy, Vice President General Manager, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel Corporation. "With more than double the performance of previous generation Intel® Itanium® 2 processor-based servers, mainframe-class RAS features, and improved energy efficiency, the new dual-core Intel® Itanium® 2 processor-based servers are ideal for application consolidation in mission-critical data centers."
PRIMEQUEST 500 servers will be available globally in September, 2006.
Fujitsu continues its collaboration with leading enterprise vendors of Linux systems Red Hat and Novell SuSE, and with the Open Source Development Lab (OSDL), contributing to the hardening of the open operating system for business-critical deployments. Under the Global Alliance Partnership, Fujitsu is also working closely with Microsoft to deliver business-critical environments for Windows applications standards. Furthermore, Fujitsu is working with its partners and the Itanium Solutions Alliance (ISA) to expand the eco-system for the Linux/Windows enterprise.
PRIMEQUEST servers extend the Fujitsu server portfolio from Fujitsu that includes PRIMEPOWER® servers based on the SPARC64® V processor running the Solaris™ operating system and PRIMERGY® Industry Standard servers. Together they provide a comprehensive server portfolio that satisfies different service level requirements for maximum availability and scalability. The new PRIMEQUEST servers are ideal for customers extending their existing mission-critical infrastructures with open-source Linux, Windows and Itanium technologies.
The PRIMEQUEST server line is offered as part of the Fujitsu TRIOLE strategy for optimized IT, which unites servers, storage, networks and middleware to provide a dynamic and flexible customer IT environment, aimed to increase business continuity, agility and efficiency. Fujitsu will continue to provide and expand TRIOLE templates that include PRIMEQUEST servers, enabling customers to introduce 64-bit mission-critical Linux and Windows technology into the datacenter.
