Tokyo, March 30, 2000 - Fujitsu Limited today announced that its
technology-leading GP7000F SPARC64 GP processor-based enterprise
server has achieved a performance record with the SAP R/3 SD
Benchmark. SAP AG has certified a record 3,000 Sales and
Distribution users in a 2-tier environment on for a GP7000F M2000
with 64 CPUs running SAP R/3 4.0B.
This record opens up a huge gap between the Fujitsu server's
performance and previous certified benchmark results for two tier
(Client/Server) configurations, thus demonstrating the tremendous
power and scalability of the GP7000F product for enterprise
business processing.
"This is a very pleasing result," said Isao Suzuki, Senior Vice
President and Group President, Marketing Group, Fujitsu Limited.
"We have engineered our GP7000F servers for global deployment
through our group companies and affiliates around the world, and
we are actively working with industry leading software vendors
like SAP to deliver real and quantifiable benefits to our
customers."
The GP7000F M2000 is currently the biggest system in Fujitsu's
GP7000F series and can support up to 64 330MHz SPARC64 GP
processors with 8MB secondary cache and a 64-way interleaved
memory subsystem of up to 64GB. It runs the Solaris operating
system and can manage up to 15 partitions, 96 PCI slots, redundant
power supply sub-systems, power feed options, redundant cooling
subsystems and hot replacement of redundant features. Add in its
clustering ability and Fujitsu's wealth of experience in mainframe
manufacture, and levels of 99.999% availability are to be expected
with these servers.
Fujitsu Limited in Japan and Fujitsu Siemens Computers in Europe,
together with other group companies, are coordinating their
business and marketing strategies to offer customers in every
region of the world a real choice of server platforms in the
important and well-established Solaris Unix marketplace.
Benchmarking activity such as the SAP R/3 SD certification is but
one area in which this cooperation is being realized.
