The new generation FUJITSU Server PRIMEQUEST line-up has been updated with the latest Intel® Xeon® E7-8800/4800 v4 processor, achieving unprecedented levels of performance in this category, as demonstrated by various benchmarks. Thanks to these latest improvements, customers can now have greater confidence than ever in their choice of mission-critical technology based on open standards, as a viable alternative to UNIX-based systems, in terms of system performance, reliability, and security.
Fujitsu's high-end x86-based servers are designed to provide a new path for customers currently running demanding environments on UNIX-based systems, such as SAP ERP and Oracle databases. PRIMEQUEST servers are also certified for SAP in-memory databases and SAP HANA®.
By choosing PRIMEQUEST, businesses can achieve new levels of x86-based performance and significant cost benefits through lower hardware costs and reduced power consumption compared to proprietary architectures. This is because PRIMEQUEST offers mission-critical capabilities such as hot-pluggable I/O units, physical partitioning, and dynamic reconfiguration.
As end-user demand for data center infrastructure performance and capacity continues to rise, Fujitsu delivers maximum scalability with its new PRIMEQUEST 2000 series. The new models, now available, feature more processor cores and more last-level cache than their predecessors. This means PRIMEQUEST is also ideal for mission-critical applications, such as in-memory applications, where results can be processed faster, helping to accelerate business speed, as well as real-time computing operations, crucial in organizations where unplanned system downtime can be severe and costly, especially in areas like running billing applications for telecom providers.
Fujitsu is rapidly introducing its robust x86-based models just as the market reaches a tipping point for x86 architecture and is poised to see it account for 50 percent of total server sales, according to the latest predictions in the Gartner Forecast: Servers, All Countries, 2013-2020, 1Q16 Update – published on April 8, 2016. Furthermore, research from Veeam (Proportion of mission-critical workloads, Veeam Data Center Availability Report, p. 10, 2014) confirms that mission-critical workloads in the data center are often overlooked, underscoring the need for powerful x86-based systems.
