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 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.
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 excellent performance per cost
PRIMEQUEST 2400E2 helps reduce running costs for mission critical systems including software support charges. So, marriage of PRIMEQUEST 2400E2 and Oracle Database Standard Edition can slash down your operational costs for enterprise system.
Almost every component redundant
With Fujitsu Primequest 2400E2, 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.
- Dynamix 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
With new memory technology called DDR4 inside the box, data protection of Primequest 2400E2 has become more resilient.
- Bank SDDC/DDDC is expanded recovery 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 sparring 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 2400E2 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 buy for that growth
With up to 72 cores and maximum 6TB of memory, Fujitsu Primequest 2400E2 capability as an enterprise workload platform continues to expand. Outstanding performance from such a compact chassis means Fujitsu Primequest 2400E2 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 E7-8800 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.
Much lower operational costs
Fujitsu Primequest 2400E2 can reduce operational costs: power consumption, datacenter space and Oracle license and support changes. It triples OLTP performance per oracle database license and support charge compared to previous generation of Primequest.
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 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 setp 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 acommodate 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.
