Components of SE Series


SE-Komponenten-en-new-2Every SE Server consists of several components. The SE330/SE330B contains a Server Unit on x86 basis, the SE730/SE730B contains a Server Unit based on /390 technology. Further components are the Management Unit and the Net Unit. Application Units (AU) can also be included as an option; the maximum possible number of AUs depends on the type of AU. These optional products make it possible to have mutual monitoring, control and administration amongst a homogenous interface.

Server Unit: The Server Unit (SU) is the heart of each SE Server and is used to run the BS2000 operating system.

Server Unit (SU /390): For the highest BS2000 monoprocessor power and overall performance with maximum scalability. The monoprocessor performance as well as the power of SE730/SE730B with multiple BS2000 CPUs has been significantly increased in comparison with its predecessors.

Server Unit (SU x86): For more resource flexibility with the latest high-end Intel standard processor technology. Under VM2000 also BS2000 guest systems can be used on a SE330/SE330B.

The key customer benefit consists of:
  • Business flexibility due to easy upgrading, i.e. performance as required
  • High productivity and quality levels for mainframe operations
  • Coverage of growing performance demands in the mid to upper performance range.
  • Optimal utilization of resources on the respective platform

Management Unit: The Management Unit (MU) with the SE Manager allows the central administration of the whole SE Server under a common interface. The monitoring, administration and operation extends to the units and the systems running on them, as well as on peripheral systems, Ethernet and FC networks. Additionally unit-wide functions like performance monitoring are available. All tasks can easily be done via the browser-based interface of the SE Manager from each workplace with connection to the SE server.

Net Unit: The Net Unit is responsible for the communication within an SE Server. It offers highest performance between the SE units and into the customer's network, thereby guaranteeing maximum security. This is realized over several networks with the help of "managed switches". For the Net Unit with 48 ports and a speed of 1 Gbit/s Fujitsu offers a redundancy extension (already included in SE730/SE730B).

HNC: The HNC (High-speed Net Connect) is a high-performance interface for BS2000 systems. It has a modular structure based on a high-performance PRIMERGY™ system with Linux™ . Fiber Channel channels are supported on the server side as well as Fast Ethernet™ and Gigabit Ethernet™ connections on the network side. Each SE730/S730B is delivered with a HNC that is linked to the Net Unit. Further 1-3 HNCs can be configured to increase throughput and redundancy as well as additional LAN ports.


Application Unit: The Application Units are high-end servers based on x86 technology. They run Windows and Linux applications. They are suitable for the operation of standard applications and prepared for integration into the SE server. Several Application Units (AU) can be operated in one SE Server, the maximum number depends on the type of AU.

The key customer benefit consists of:

  • Stable operation of customer applications due to the use of redundant components as well as the quality assurance and service concept
  • Ideal AU adaption to the application to be run due to flexible sizing and the use of both native and virtualized operating systems
  • An overview of all units, clusters and vital machines by integration into the SE Manager
  • Common service concept including remote service for AUs and the other SE units

On basis of High-End x86-Servers, which are integrated into SE Servers to run Linux- or Windows-Applications, we offer different types of these units:

6-RX2540M6 7-RX2540M6

The AU25 is based on the PRIMERGY RX2540. This rack server provides high performance, expandability and energy efficiency. Therefore the PRIMERGY RX2540 is ideal for virtualization, scale-out scenarios, and small databases as well as for high performance computing thanks to the high performance of the Intel® Xeon® processors.

1-RX4770M6 2-RX4770M6

The AU47 is based on the PRIMERGY RX4770. This Server is an industry-standard x86 system with four sockets, providing superior levels of performance, scalability and efficiency. This combination turns the server into the ideal platform for running a variety of customer applications. Many user-friendly functions ensure a faster and more cost-effective infrastructure management, no matter where the server is located.
