Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER regains its crown
in SAP SD two-tier benchmark
Tokyo, February 19, 2002 -- Fujitsu Limited announced today that it has
regained the top performing position in the SAP® Sales & Distribution
(SAP SD) two-tier Standard Application benchmark using a Solaris/SPARC-
based PRIMEPOWER 2000 server and Oracle9i Database. The 128-processor-
based server and software configuration achieved a score of 7,800 SAP
SD benchmark users. This was almost twice the score of the second-
placed competitor and puts PRIMEPOWER and Oracle back in the No. 1
spot, a position previously held from February 2000 to September 2001.
The SAP SD Standard Application benchmark performed on January 18, 2002,
by Fujitsu in Numazu, Japan, was certified on January 24, 2002, with the
following data:
| Number of benchmark users & comp. | : | 7,800 SAP SD benchmark users |

| Configuration | | |
| 1 Central Server | : | Fujitsu Siemens PRIMEPOWER 2000, 128-processors SMP,Sparc64 675 MHz, 8 MB L2 cache, 128 GB main memory |
This new SAP benchmark record was achieved using a combination of the
latest Fujitsu 675MHz SPARC®64 GP processors, PRIMEPOWER's ability to
scale beyond competitive open system servers, the powerful and reliable
Solaris operating environment, and Oracle, the world's leading database.
"Proving our credentials with major application benchmarks in this way
is something that we believe will continue to boost the sales of our
high availability PRIMEPOWER servers," said Mr. Takashi Aoki, Group
President of Fujitsu's Computer Systems Group. "Importantly PRIMEPOWER
continues to win top honors in a range of benchmarks covering user
access, raw power and transaction performance. Our striving for
hardware excellence and open system's adherence demonstrably makes
PRIMEPOWER the best choice when building solutions that empower customer
organizations."
"We are absolutely delighted that Fujitsu has made such an effort to
regain its crown in the SAP SD two-tier Standard Application benchmark
together with the unbreakable Oracle9i Database. Once again Fujitsu has
proven that it is one of the world's leading providers of powerful UNIX
high-end servers for the most demanding customers," added Simon Stow,
Senior Director, Oracle9i marketing.
This latest SAP 2 tier SD benchmark performance win by Fujitsu was also
an example of how international cooperation is boosting Fujitsu's global
business capabilities. Showing their global service competence and
expertise, both Fujitsu Japan and Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the joint
venture between Fujitsu and Siemens in Europe, contributed to the result.
The engineers at Fujitsu's Numazu factory prepared the test equipment;
while a combination of system experts, including specialists from the
Fujitsu Siemens SAP competence center in Germany set up and ran the
benchmark.
