Technical Overview

Serious Availability

We learned about availability from manufacturing mainframes—the most reliable, available computers in the world. For 30 years, we've been supporting mission-critical applications and setting the standards for high availability in the most demanding data center environments. Everything we learned, we've put in our PRIMEPOWER® servers.

Powerhouse Performance Based On Mainframe Architecture

Performance is only partially determined by clock speed. Superior architecture design makes the difference. Consider, for instance, our crossbar design. PRIMEPOWER servers optimize performance with an innovative dual crossbar architecture—eradicating most high latency bottlenecks and using out-of-order instruction execution where multiple parallel operations will allow optimal system performance. That's why PRIMEPOWER servers continue to register number one in worldwide performance benchmarks. If it's total system performance you want, check us out.

More Reliability Than Any Other UNIX System

We started with a system layout optimized for cool, reliable operation. Then we added the SPARC64® processor designed for mission-critical applications. Programmed in the most extensive error correction code—so one-bit errors are prevented from bringing down the server and stopping business. While other UNIX® servers leave gaps in their ECC coverage, creating vulnerable points for failure, the PRIMEPOWER family is unique in providing ECC on all primary data paths—memory, the system bus, and both levels of cache. These and many other features make PRIMEPOWER the choice for reliability.

PRIMEPOWER Provides More Choice

Listening to our customers needs and acting upon their suggestions allows us to supply more choices for our customers. First of all, we provide PRIMEPOWER, the only fully compatible server alternative for the commercial Oracle Solaris Operating System (Oracle Solaris). With the Fujitsu commitment to Oracle Solaris you can continue to have a choice of vendors for this environment and select the solutions that meet your performance, availability and cost requirements. For unique flexibility, you may run Oracle Solaris 9, 10 in different partitions concurrently on the same PRIMEPOWER server, this protects your investment and increases your options.

When your business depends on the highest availability attainable, you can choose from one of our two clustering solutions.

• PRIMECLUSTER™, based on two decades of Fujitsu clustering experience, it provides an easy-to-deploy foundation for high availability. It is the industry's most scalable clustering solution, supporting up to 128 nodes running a wide mix of interrelated application services.

More Room For Growth

All PRIMEPOWER servers are designed with superior four-point scalability to limit the business disruptions of frequent forklift upgrades, prolonging the life of your investment and bringing more stability to volatile IT environments.

• PRIMEPOWER servers outdo all the competition in scalability with up to 128 processors to a system.
• PRIMEPOWER server enterprise models accommodate more processors without a cabinet swap growing from 4 to 32 or from 8 to 128.
• PRIMEPOWER servers are supported by a very high bandwidth data channel to memory and the I/O system, so performance stays high as capacity grows.
• PRIMEPOWER servers support multiple generations of processors in the same system, so you can partition enterprise models into multiple virtual systems running different processor clock speeds.

The PRIMEPOWER family of open UNIX servers—models 250, 450, 650, 850, 900, 1500, and 2500—provide the following high-performance, scalability, and reliability features:

• High-performance SPARC64 V processor with up to 4 MB on-chip second-level cache
• Upgradeable to the next generation of processors in the field with no downtime (Models 900, 1500 and 2500)
