Concept - Fujitsu's most comprehensive open system

Build a cost effective mainframe-class high-end IA server, based on technology principles proven over generations of mission critical system development, for today's Data Center environments.


Concept image

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 servers.

Use of Intel® Xeon® processors, global standard Linux and/or Microsoft® Windows operating systems, and highly advanced Fujitsu reliability, stability and manageability technologies, make PRIMEQUEST a highly cost effective mission critical open platform.

Customer Investment is fully secured by:

  • Excellent flexibility and scalability in an open server.
  • Outstanding performance and reliability.
  • Ability to operate a 24 hour, 365 day business.
  • A radically improved cost/performance profile.
  • Use optimization and scalability for the future.

Proven High AvailabilityDetail 

With outstanding redundancy, PRIMEQUEST provides the high uptime required with true enterprise platforms. The heart of the server, the system boards including CPUs and memory modules, can be instantly recovered on failure, enabling smooth operation of mission-critical workloads. In fact, almost every component can be redundantly configured. In addition, availability is also sustained by self-healing mechanisms that also reduce system life cycle costs, plus hot job swap capability that make upgrading simple and minimize system downtime.

The high availability of PRIMEQUEST is proven by over 1,700 high availability server platforms installation in 24 countries including:

Performance ScalabilityDetail 

Using Intel® Xeon® processors and Fujitsu’s super fast I/O technologies, PRIMEQUEST has always hit high-ranked performance scores in the large systems server arena. This is further proof that Fujitsu can deliver best-matched products, conforming to open systems standards for handling enterprise workloads.

Best Cost-efficiencyDetail 

Cost efficiency is not just limited to power consumption and cooling. Using the integrated tools in the ServerView Suite, server life cycle costs for installation, patch application, and system management can be slashed.

Riskless VirtualizationDetail 

Whenever you introduce a new technology you expose yourself to potential threat of failure. Virtualization is no exception. Virtualization of larger systems requires elaborate performance testing of the application. This is in part due to the performance overhead of the virtualization products themselves. In addition alternative plans are required to allow you to recover following any mistakes or complexities of the project.

PRIMEQUEST can free you from such risks and complicated steps buy the absence of any performance overheads. Hardware partitioning does not require performance testing or “Plan B”. New partitions can be mixed with existing logical partitioning products.

Another benefit for hardware partitioning is high availability. Major applications such as database servers, can be totally isolated from any hardware or OS failures in any other partition.

PRIMEQUEST with its high availability, performance scalability, cost-efficiency, and risk-free virtualization can lift the Return on Investment of your IT system.
