Modern Terminals Gains Higher Operational Efficiency with Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER Server

Hong Kong's Leading Container Terminal Operator Benefiting from Cost Efficiencies and Higher Response to User Demands for Operational Applications after Server Consolidation to Fujitsu

Hong Kong, May 10, 2006 — Modern Terminals Limited, the longest-established container terminal operator in Hong Kong, and Fujitsu Hong Kong Limited, a leading provider of customer-focused information technology and telecommunications solutions and services, today announced a successful completion of a server consolidation, which deployed Fujitsu’s latest server technology to run four main administrative applications for the innovation-minded port services provider.

The project was an initiative based on Modern Terminals' brand promises of delivering the world-class level of operational excellence and developing customer-driven innovation through deploying cutting-edge technologies. Modern Terminals' Internet portal - ModernPorts, financial applications, facility management/procurement system, and the Management Information System now run on the Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER Solaris™ platform.

In fulfilling the above commitments, Modern Terminals turned to Fujitsu to help simplify a complicated infrastructure environment that consisted of multiple operating systems running on different servers. High system management overheads and operating costs was another concern that the IT team wanted to address.

Mr. Cheng Chung Keung, IT Manager-Infrastructure of Modern Terminals Limited, said, "We are committed to achieving service excellence by exceeding our customers' expectation and investing in cutting-edge technologies to enhance our efficiency and services. We believe the new deployment of Fujitsu's server technology will enable us to provide high-quality and flexible services to our valued customers."

Two units of Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER 650 Solaris™ server, eight units of PRIMEPOWER 450 Solaris™ server and the ETERNUS3000 model 100 storage system replaced the existing 20 units of UNIX and Alpha-based server. Modern Terminals also implemented the Fujitsu PRIMECLUSTER together with the Oracle Real Applications Cluster (RAC). The combined clustering technology helped Modern Terminals in creating site resilience operating environment, further increasing the performance and efficiency of the server infrastructure.

The server consolidation has helped Modern Terminals gain a few noteworthy benefits:

• Cost efficiencies: Based on Modern Terminals' 6-year cost analysis between the old platform and Fujitsu, it showed that the Fujitsu platform offered a significant 32% overall savings in cost.

• System performance boost of 300%: The Fujitsu solution provided an unparalleled system performance at a competitive price. Resource capacity has also improved to handle any upsurge in activity. It facilitated the IT Department to build more functions into the applications, if required.

"The success of the Modern Terminals consolidation project hinged on one winning factor - the close co-operation and teamwork between Modern Terminals IT team and Fujitsu. Both of us shared the same objective of enjoying the best benefits out of the new Fujitsu platform. We are gratified to be Modern Terminals' IT partner in this project," said James Pang, General Manager, Sales Department of Information Systems and Services Division, Fujitsu Hong Kong Limited. "As Modern Terminals continues to expand in Hong Kong and China, we look forward to continue being a proven partner for all of their IT needs, be it Solutions or Services."
