The most cost-efficient enterprise server
The mission critical x86 server "Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST” is a high-end data center system focused on the needs of the growing enterprise. Based on technologies and innovations Fujitsu has refined over generations of highly reliable mainframe and UNIX servers, it provides mission critical class high-performance, excellent service availability and the openness of x86 servers. Global standard Linux® and/or Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, with highly advanced Fujitsu reliability, stability and manageability technologies, make Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST a highly cost effective mission critical open platform.
Customer investment is fully secured by:
- Ability to operate a 24-hour, 365-day business.
- Outstanding performance and reliability.
- Excellent flexibility and scalability in an open server.
- A radically improved cost/performance profile.
- Use optimization and scalability for the future.
Platform of standards and high availability
With outstanding redundancy, Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 2400E 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 world-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.
Platform of excellenct performance per cost
PRIMEQUEST 2400E helps reduce running costs for mission critical systems including software support charges. So, marriage of PRIMEQUEST 2400E and Oracle Database Standard Edition can slash down your operational costs for enterprise system.
Almost every component redundant
With Fujitsu Primequest 2400E, 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
- Failed processor cores can be replaced by reserved cores using extended partitioning
- 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 60 cores and maximum 6TB of memory, Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 2400E has the resources to accommodate hundreds of workloads. Performance has doubled ensuring Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 2400E capability as an enterprise workload platform continues to expand .. Outstanding performance from such a compact chassis means Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 2400E is the “platform for success” when you really need to improve performance and cost-efficiency.
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 E7-4800 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.
Much lower operational costs
Fujitsu Primequest 2400E can reduce operational costs including Oracle license and support changes
- Oracle database license and support charges are much reduced compared to other server where Oracle Database enterprise edition is only available
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 toold through the life cycle 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 path 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.
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.
