Fujitsu Hong Kong Limited

Fujitsu and Sun Microsystems Set the Standard for Open Systems Computing with Fastest, Most Reliable Solaris/SPARC Servers

Co-Developed "SPARC Enterprise" Servers Reshape Industry Performance Standard to Address the Need of Maximizing System Utilization

Hong Kong, April 18, 2007 — Fujitsu Hong Kong Limited, a leading provider of customer-focused information technology and telecommunications solutions and services, today unveiled a new line-up of co-developed servers by Fujitsu Limited (TSE: 6702) and Sun Microsystems, Inc., (Nasdaq: SUNW - News) that hold the promise of dramatically reshaping the open systems computing market by delivering mainframe-class reliability with open systems advantages.

The new servers - under the "SPARC Enterprise" product brand - are the fastest SPARC servers ever, and are based on the SPARC architecture. The SPARC Enterprise servers will run the Solaris™ 10 operating system (OS); the new servers were formerly known as Advanced Product Line (code name APL).

The SPARC Enterprise server line-up is the culmination of over two years of joint development between Fujitsu and Sun, building on their 20-year strategic relationship. The new servers are ideal for customers requiring highly scaleable, reliable servers, and needing to achieve increased system utilization and performance through virtualization. The servers leverage the powerful combination of Fujitsu's expertise in mission-critical computing technologies and high-performance processor design, and Sun's expertise in open and scaleable network computing. Through its strengths in developing industry-leading innovations, Fujitsu has been crucial in the conception and development of the mid and high-end range SPARC Enterprise server models.

The new servers address the growing customer need to maximize system utilization by offering an array of highly granular partitioning and domaining technologies. The SPARC Enterprise servers are also designed to ensure minimal downtime. They contain mainframe-class RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) features such as hot-swappable components (which includes memory and processors), redundant hardware, instruction retry, memory mirroring, extensive diagnostic and healing capabilities. To protect customers’ existing datacenter investments, the new systems guarantee 100% SPARC/Solaris binary compatibility, reducing risk and lowering cost of ownership. This means Fujitsu's PRIMEPOWER or Sun's Sun Fire server customers can adopt the new SPARC Enterprise platform with ease and confidence, enabling them to continue to use the broad range of proven Solaris OS applications (the No. 1 share in the UNIX market) from the world's top ISV/IHV providers.

"Fujitsu is proud to unveil a new line-up of servers that deliver an exciting evolution in server technology," said Yau Kan, Senior Vice President, Fujitsu Hong Kong. "In working with our strategic partner, we have developed a line of products that delivers so much more - in performance, flexibility and reliability. Furthermore, the SPARC Enterprise servers enable CIOs and IT managers of Hong Kong to protect their existing investments through hardware and software compatibility. This reduces ownership costs, enabling customers to migrate to the new platform with ease. The SPARC Enterprise will be a compelling proposition that is highly relevant to the needs of Hong Kong businesses."
