Performance, Reliability, and Flexibility in Open Systems

In 2005 when Fujitsu introduced PRIMEQUEST, they not only extended the boundaries of total reliability into the open systems world, but also laid the foundation for the most cost effective computing performance using the more popular environments of Windows and Linux. Barriers to the use of commodity products for mission critical operation were removed and the vast world of open applications became available for use in the most important and demanding business tasks. The cost benefits of open systems have long been known, but until PRIMEQUEST, many organizations seeking mission-critical operation had to forego those benefits because of reliability and scalability concerns.

Now, with the introduction of new PRIMEQUEST 500A series, any lingering doubts about open systems performance versus proprietary performance have been removed. The introduction of Dual-core Intel® Itanium® processors (codenamed “Montvale”) shows the unlimited 64bit performance future of the Intel roadmap and the synergy between Fujitsu’s TRIOLE (Virtualization, Automation and Integration) strategy and Intel’s pursuit of open systems performance.
PRIMEQUEST supports the rich capabilities of Windows and Linux systems in the mission critical arena with hardware platforms designed using mainframe-derived levels of hardware reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS), plus new levels of automation that remove the previous high costs of large systems administration. This leaves Windows and Linux customers free to enjoy investment protection, freedom of choice and unlimited growth when provisioning for future opportunites and business flexibility.
