PRIMEQUEST concept
The PRIMEQUEST concept - Fujitsu's aim in open systems
Build a mainframe-class high-end IA server, based on technologies proven over generations of mission critical system development,
for today's Data Center environments.
The Mission Critical IA Server "PRIMEQUEST" is a high-end data center system focused on the needs of the growing Enterprise.
Based on technologies Fujitsu has long refined over generations of highly reliable mainframe and UNIX servers, it provides
Supercomputer high-performance, excellent service availability and the openness of IA servers.
Use of 64 bit Dual-Core Intel® Itanium® Processor, global standard Linux and/or Microsoft® Windows operating systems, and highly advanced Fujitsu reliability, stability
and manageability technologies, make PRIMEQUEST an epoch-making open platform.
PRIMEQUEST promise
Excellent flexibility and scalability in an open server. Outstanding performance and reliability. Capable of 24 hour 365 day operation. Radically improved cost/performance profile. Optimized and scaled for the future, it secures investment in existing assets
PRIMEQUEST advantage
Dual-Core Intel® Itanium® Processorand their successors, developed for large-scale enterprise environments, in combination with Fujitsu's technology and determination to ensure products achieve mainframe class reliability and stability; create an eco-system that enables existing Windows and Linux skills and applications to be ported to the back of the data center.
The advanced technologies
PRIMEQUEST provides a "Dual Synchronous System Architecture”. This allows memory modules and crossbar interconnects to operate in duplex mode. The result is errors can be isolated without causing system halts. Under this unique architecture PRIMEQUEST enables the world's first "System Mirror“. This ensures high availability by hardware alone. The "Flexible I/O system" changes for ever the way resource flexibly and configuration optimization are managed. Plus, the in-built redundant server "Management Board(MMB)," delivers autonomous operation, reducing administration costs across the life of the system.
