Platform of standards and high availability
With outstanding redundancy, Fujitsu Primequest 2800E provides the high uptime required from true enterprise platforms. The heart of the server, the system boards including CPUs and memory modules, can be instantly recovered on failure, enabling smooth operation of mission critical workloads. In fact, almost every component can be redundantly configured.
This new Primequest is the worlds first open server platform which enables online addition and replacement of system boards and I/O boards - Customers can be freed from system business disruption. Under the strict quality standards in Fujitsu's production processes - from server design to manufacturing and quality assurance - Fujitsu Primequest can dramatically reduce failure rates. Using Intel Xeon E7-8800 v2 product family and Fujitsu's super fast I/O technologies, Fujitsu Primequest 2800E has hit highest performance scores in the large systems server arena. This is further proof that Fujitsu can deliver best matched products, conforming to open systems standards that handle enterprise workloads. For instance, Primequest 2800E combined with variety of solid state drive products can leap data throughput from what existing mission critical servers could provide.
Platform of high performance per cost
Based on state of the art technologies such as smart cooling, Intel processors and other components Fujitsu Primequest 2800E provides the best cost-efficiency in the enterprise server arena. It also reduces data center costs by lowering power consumption and minimizing the server footprint. Fujitsu Primequest 2800E can also free you from the risks and complicated steps of system virtualization. Physical partitioning does not require performance testing or a "Plan B". New partitions can be mixed with software virtualization environments such as VMware, Hyper-V and Red Hat Enterprise Linux KVM.
Fujitsu Primequest 2800E with its high availability, performance scalability, cost-efficiency and risk-free virtualization can lift the Return on Investment (ROI) of your IT system.
Almost every component redundant
With Fujitsu Primequest 2800E, your most important business operations can be strictly protected from errors as follows:
- Partitions using multiple system boards (SB) can continue operation even if one full system board fails. Service may degrade a little but the failed system board can be immediately replaced by a reserved system board. This means normal service levels can be very quickly resumed
- Dynamic Reconfiguration help recover from failures on system boards or I/O units without system stoppage
- Memory can be mirrored. This means that even if a memory failure occurs, the application will continue using the correct data. With Double Data Device Correction (DDDC), even if two memory chips fail, the system can continue operation without interruption.
- System interconnect, called Quick path Interconnect (QPI), provides multiple access routes. This ensures continued operation even if one route fails
- Fans, PCI express switches, PCI express cards and ethernet ports, are redundant as standard.
- HDD can be configured redundant using hardware or software RAID
- Management Boards (MMB) and power supply units (PSU) can be optionally configured as redundant
Only grow as you need, only buy for that growth
With up to 120 cores and maximum 12TB of memory, Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 2800E has the resources to accommodate hundreds of workloads. Performance has doubled ensuring Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 2800E capability as an enterprise workload platform continues to expand This platform has 2.5 times the performance of predecessor model PRIMEQUEST 1800E2.
Much lower operational costs
Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 2800E can reduce operational costs : power consumption, datacenter space, and Oracle license and support changes,
- This halves the power consumption charge compared to predecessor model PRIMEQUEST 1800E2 at the similar performance.
- This model can also reduce datacenter space from 12 to 10 rack units.
- Oracle database license and support charges are halved compared to predecessor model.
- According to Fujitsu’s estimation, Oracle database license and support charges is much more lower in PRIMEQUEST 2800E compared to other vender’s UNIX highend servers at the similar performance
Simplified server life cycle management
During a server’s life cycle you must undertake a variety of actions including installation, integration, monitoring, maintenance, and upgrading of all servers in your datacenter. To do this you have to use different tools for different actions. It can be a nightmare. Fully integrated tools through the lifecycle are what our customers are demanding. Fujitsu provides an integrated suite of tools that take care of server products at your datacenter for the entire life of the server. ServerView Suite, a bundled product with Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST and PRIMERGY, can help ease the pain in dealing with servers. This includes:
- Automated OS installation on multiple servers
- Automated RAID configuration
- Automated driver updates, hot fixes and security patch applications
- Integrated monitoring of multiple Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST and Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers
- Simplified setup and monitoring of disk array controllers, HDD, and logical drives
The suite also enables early problem detection and resolution via intuitive diagnostics, look-and-feel operation and pro-active error alerts.
Secure confidential data
Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST embeds security measures into its hardware and OS. Due to swift encryption by Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (AES-NI) with the Intel Xeon E7-8800 v2 product family, a hacker could never maliciously use any stolen data. As an example, Oracle Database 12 and Xeon processors shrink the encryption time to one-tenth.
Risk free virtualization
Using Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST and industry standard virtualization, such as VMware vSphere™ 5, Hyper-V, and KVM lets you more easily create the right platform for your demands. It means, simple migration using Physical partitioning with no performance overheads. High reliability is guaranteed by Physical partitioning as failures in one partition can never spread to other partitions. With VMware vSphere™ 5, hundreds of virtual machines can be created on one server. Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST Physical partitioning delivers risk-free and reliable virtualization. Such partitioning without performance overheads also requires no elaborate performance testing on your application environments. Further your main mission critical applications, such as databases, can be fully isolated from failures in all other partitions. If you are planning to accommodate greater numbers of workloads, you can mix standard virtualization products with Physical Partitioning. Such state-of-the-art virtualization means applications can share system resources more flexibly, while main systems remain fully protected.
