SPARC64™ V Microprocessor
This white paper has highlighted some of the benefits of Fujitsu’s
SPARC64 V microprocessor implementation. Leveraging its experience
in high-performance and highly available mainframes, Fujitsu designers
have created a RISC chip that leads other implementations not only
in performance but also in error detection and correction. Using
these new SPARC64 V processors, PRIMEPOWER servers offer state-of-the-art
performance with mainframe-class error recovery, error isolation,
and data integrity.

Improving Patient Outcomes While Managing Costs
This paper explains how technology facilitates healthcare organizations
to turn regulatory and competitive pressures to their advantage.
Fujitsu offers a flexible line of use-appropriate devices that meet
the real-world needs of doctors, nurses, administrators and other
healthcare professionals. These devices are designed to help improve
patient care by facilitating superior point-of-care services through
wireless mobility. High-quality Fujitsu products also help to lower
healthcare costs by reducing maintenance needs, lowering initial
costs and significantly improving worker productivity. (747k)

SPARC64™ V Processor For UNIX® Server
Enterprise server systems take high responsibility as social
economic infrastructures. The processor, the heart of the systems,
must achieve high-reliability as well as high-performance. We have
developed SPARC64 V, the 5th generation of the SPARC64 processors,
based on technical background behind our long-range of mainframe
development, and targeted for simultaneous achievement of high performance
and high reliability never realized. (197k)

The Why and How of Server Consolidation
IT managers are now realizing the benefits of consolidating their
applications onto fewer, but larger servers that offer increased
availability and scalability. Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER server consolidation
is especially applicable when new business processes are required.
This can include existing IT infrastructures/architectures that
are no longer suitable, or when the merging of business units has
resulted in redundant IT resources, incompatible architectures,
and conflicting business processes.

Fujitsu Upgrades Workgroup Line with Faster, Reliable SPARC64™ V-Based Servers
Today’s enterprises increasingly look at their IT staff
to build evolving infrastructures to accommodate newer technologies
such as web services, which promise better and tighter integration
across their distributed systems. CIOs and CTOs are asked to enable
these capabilities under an over-arching need to cut costs and gain
better return on IT (ROIT) assets. Workgroup servers often form
the backbone for such environments as their scale-out capabilities
deliver flexibility and performance in an affordable package and
a small footprint. PRIMEPOWER 250/450 servers provide new levels
of reliability and price/ performance (economics) for these customers.

Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER : Partitioning Capabilities That Enable Consolidation
Server consolidation, the rehosting of workloads supported by
a multitude of smaller servers to a few larger servers, promises
cost savings for IT managers by reducing the cost of management
and increasing utilization of server resources.

PRIMEPOWER 650 & 850
Both PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 offer high performance in a compact
cabinet, flexible I-O configuration, plus investment protection,
with future processor upgrades taken into consideration in their
design. Fujitsu has pursued the High Availability concept with PRIMEPOWER
650 and 850 by employing redundancy and support for hot swapping
of all essential components. Moreover, PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 provide
a full range of functions required by Enterprise Servers. This includes
integrated operation and maintenance functions. In particular they
support greater data sizes, handle higher demands, and flexibly
respond to job changes, to mention only a few of their capabilities.

PRIMEPOWER Servers Availability
This white paper reviews the characteristics of the Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER
server that contribute to availability, the degree to which the
server can process data when needed. For today’s demanding
data center environments, availability means the degree to which
the server can run applications continuously.

Application-Oriented Clusters
This white paper describes the "application-oriented"
approach to clusters, which, of cluster methodologies available
today, best fulfills the promise of clusters. Where most cluster
methodologies focus on the availability, scalability, and management
of cluster hardware, application-oriented clusters focus on the
availability, scalability, and management of the hosted applications
and application services. Although this paper is not a product survey,
examples are taken from application-oriented products to
show the potential of this approach.
