Fujitsu Malaysia has unveiled its new range of mission-critical servers, the PrimeQuest 500A, engineered to provide mainframe-class reliability and enhanced scalability for enterprise applications.

Incorporating the latest dual-core Itanium 9100 processors, the series supports Windows and Linux environments such as Windows Server 2008, SuSe Linux Enterprise Server 10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The new line represents an upgrade from the earlier PrimeQuest 500 servers launched

in July last year.

The PrimeQuest 500A series comprises the mid-range PrimeQuest 520A and the high-end PrimeQuest 540A and PrimeQuest 580A. Models 520A, 540A and 580A offer a maximum of eight, 16 and 32 Itanium 9100 processors respectively, and up to 256 gigabytes,

one terabyte and 2TB of random access memory respectively.

The new server line utilises dynamic partitioning to balance workloads while operating in Windows Server 2008 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 environments. Dynamic partitioning allows the server series to distribute computing processes evenly among their system boards when server loads increase. This allows the servers to change hardware configurations in real time and increase processing capacity without disrupting operations.

For business continuity, the servers’ system boards are hot-swappable under the Windows Server 2008 environment.
