|
Simplified server lifecycle management
- An integrated suite of toold takes care of servers and their component products in your datacenter over the entire life of the server
|
- Human resource costs for server management, including: Installation, integration, monitoring, maintenance and upgrading are reduced
|
Risk-free virtualization
- Physical partitioning of up to four partitions and extended partitioning of up to eight partitions are available
|
- For customers undertaking system virtualization for the first time, Physical partitioning is the best entry strategy. There are no performance overheads and no incompatibilities with applications.
- Extended partitioning, doubling the number of partitions, can save operational costs by server consolidation
|
Almost every component redundant
With Fujitsu Primequest 2800E2, 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 With new memory technology called DDR4 inside the box, data protection of PRIMEQUEST 2800E2 has become more resilient.
Bank SDDC/DDDC is recovery mechanism enhanced from SDDC/DDDC recovery in units of DRAM to recovery in units of bank of DRAM. Memory recovery in more granular level strengthens data protection of PRIMEQUEST – even if Maximum five banks fail all at once, read/write operations from.to memory can continue
Multi Memory Rank Sparing allows reserves Memory Ranks of DIMM to replace Memory Ranks in correctable errors with the reserved ones without intervention of operation.
With enhancement of problem prevention mechanism called eMCA Gen2, PRIMEQUEST 2800E2 helps eliminate problems in CPU, memory, or IO by detections of recoverable errors via system trace. Even if such recoverable errors happen, servers can continue their operations.
Only grow as you need, only but for that growth
With up to 144 cores and maximum 12TB of memory, Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 2800E2 has sufficient capacity of resources to accommodate hundreds of workloads. Performance has doubled ensuring Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 2800E2 capability as an enterprise workload platform continues to expand.
Much lower operational costs
Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 2800E2 can reduce operational costs: power consumption, datacenter space, and Oracle license and support changes. And it triples OLTP performance per Oracle database license and support charge compared to previous generation of PRIMEQUEST.
Simplified server lifecycle 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 v3 product family, a hacker could never maliciously use any stolen data. As an example, Oracle Database 12c 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. If you plan to save server operational costs by consolidation of five or eight servers, you can use Extended Partitioning.
