Fujitsu Limited

Tokyo, February 02, 2006

Fujitsu Limited today announced that PRIMEPOWER 2500, the high-end model of its PRIMEPOWER™ server line, achieved a new world record in the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC®⁽¹⁾) Java Business Benchmark 2005 (SPECjbb®2005), with performance of 1,157,619 business operations per second⁽²⁾.

Fujitsu achieved the record with a 128-way PRIMEPOWER 2500 server using SPARC64™ V processors, an internally developed high-performance, highly reliable processor, operating at 2.08 GHz. The results were made public on January 25, 2006 by the SPEC®.

SPECjbb®2005 is a benchmark test developed by the SPEC® to evaluate the performance of servers running Java-based applications. It simulates the processing of actual wholesale industry business tasks, such as ordering, shipping, receipts and payment processing, inventory management and customer data management. Thus, the results can be used as an index of processing performance that reflects real-world business operations.

Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER servers have been highly praised for their performance and reliability and are used by a wide range of customers throughout the world. Additionally, Fujitsu is jointly developing the next generation SPARC®-based server running Solaris™ Operating System (codenamed APL: Advanced Product Line) with Sun Microsystems Inc., with product availability scheduled for the latter half of 2006. Going forward, Fujitsu intends to continue to provide the most optimized and ideal solutions for our customers utilizing Solaris on SPARC system.
