FUJITSU Server BS2000 S210
Mainframe technology in modern data centers
The S210 model family is a server series in the BS2000 high-end performance range with high system performance levels. Greater system performance compared with the predecessor system, extended configuration options, top-level availability and - last but not least- clearly reduced power consumption are the main features of an S210. They are ideal for server consolidation and for implementing service-oriented architectures (SOA) while integrating proven commercial applications.
Efficient and economic IT
Consolidation in the world of IT means that the IT infra-structure is simplified and thus becomes more transparent, reducing your Total Cost of Ownership. Availability is improved and the infrastructure becomes more efficient on a long-term basis (investment protection). Due to its hardware features and excellent service quality the S210 Business Servers are particularly suited for consolidating distributed systems.
High-availability and scaling as required
The enormous performance bandwidth of 990 to 5,000 RPF is implemented with ten models that have 2 to 15 processors. A substitute CPU is available for constantly high levels of availability as is Capacity on Demand, a flexible and economic solution to cover temporary workload peaks. Fibre Channel connections enable the use of state-of-the-art communication networks and storage concepts, such as Storage Area Networks (SAN). The Business Servers S210 are supported as of operating system BS2000/OSD-BC 7.0.
The use of state-of-the-art highly integrated multicore processors has helped to reduce power consumption by up to 20% compared to their predecessors. Volatile organic connections have been completely removed from the housing paintwork so that the new models are particularly environmentally friendly.
