Reliability that makes you forget

Flexible investment protection

When Fujitsu designed Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise M8000 they looked to

their long mainframe heritage to provide the quality and robustness

needed in a major UNIX business-critical platform. The result is a most

reliable, and highly scalable, self-sustaining system. That works well

with the world’s most popular business application systems and

databases. By placing the widest range of error checking and correction

systems directly into the hardware, the platform manages itself. This

relieves system administrators from most of the difficult diagnostic and

recovery tasks required with many other systems. Once you own Fujitsu

SPARC Enterprise system you will soon forget the operational problems

of the past. Like the engine management systems in the finest cars,

everything is monitored and self-managed to ensure all applications

work non-stop at the peak of their capability.

World’s most advanced OS, Oracle Solaris

Fujitsu has invested in your future by ensuring that new processors can

be installed in existing systems. Even better they can be mixed, on the

same system boards and in the same physical partitions, with previous

processors. This provides unrivalled investment protection and - as you

don’t need to replace servers so often - it can also reduce your overall IT

spends.

As advances in processor technology have continued, Fujitsu SPARC

Enterprise and SPARC 64 processors provide the ability to significantly

increase performance over time. You can either add more processors

(up to 64 cores with Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise M8000) or employ new

processors with almost twice the performance. In the latter case the

increased performance comes with almost no increase in data center

power consumption or additional heat management.

To ensure that all that performance is fully used, support for up to 16

physical partitions and thousands of Solaris Containers lets you quickly

and dynamically reconfigure the system for both existing and new

business processes. Plus, in conjunction with Fujitsu PRIMECLUSTER

middleware you can also implement fully mission-critical clustered

solutions, between physical partitions, inside your M8000.

Solaris is the only OS that has the scalability, security, and diagnostic

features, to fully and quickly comprehend the situation, if a major

application problem occurs. That is one of the reasons Solaris has the

largest application portfolio and why it is the development platform of

choice for many of the world’s major business applications.
