With a series of `firsts` under its belt - first worldwide to demonstrate a Pentium Pro based server, first worldwide to market with a Pentium II-based server and now first to demonstrate and launch an eight-way Pentium II Xeon-based server - Fujitsu Computers has firmly established itself as a company at the forefront of server technology.
In line with the industry as a whole, the company`s server range has taken huge leaps in capability and performance in the past 12 months and today even entry-level corporate systems offer over 300MHz processing power, plus management and resilience features previously found only in enterprise-class systems.
Fujitsu Computers today offers a range of servers to cater for all business requirements, from the low-cost, uni-processor Cordant models, to the highly-resilient, multi-processing teamserver family.
The Cordant server range combines performance and low cost of ownership in an easy-to-use package. The server family utilises Intel`s Pentium II processor up to 400 MHz and uses high-quality, industry standard components for performance, reliability and flexibility. A variety of configurations are available to meet the needs of any business or branch office.
The teamserver range comprises a series of workgroup, departmental and enterprise models:
The teamserver Ci is Fujitsu`s entry-level corporate server, comprising a choice of Pentium II based single and dual CPU models operating at 266MHz to 450MHz. Latest 450MHz models incorporate a 100MHz system bus for increased data throughput. These competitively priced file and print servers offer up to 36GB of Ultra Wide SCSI disk, up to 1GB of ECC memory, an integrated 10/100Mbit PCI Ethernet controller and optional hot swap disks.
The dual processor capable Pentium II based teamserver Gi series is ideally suited to medium-sized workgroups, offering all the features of the Ci, plus even greater resilience and expandability. The servers incorporate an end-to-end Ultra Wide SCSI disk system which helps to maximise data throughput and performance, and expand to offer up to 108GB of disk capacity and 1GB of memory. A range of enterprise-class resilience features such as hot swap disks, hot swap fans and hot swap redundant power supplies is also supplied.
At the enterprise level, Fujitsu offers the quad capable teamserver Li, one of the first products on the market to feature Intel`s new Pentium II Xeon processor with 512KB or 1MB Level 2 Cache. The 100MHz system bus accelerates the flow of information within the system, alleviating system bottlenecks and matching I/O memory subsystem performance to provide a balanced platform. 4GB EDO ECC memory supports many of the most demanding memory-intensive database applications.
Fujitsu`s server development expertise is best demonstrated in its range of Intel-based servers for the datacentre, where the company has focused on price/performance, reliability and the need to offer corporates room for growth. The company pioneered
Highly Parallel System Architecture in its teamserver M700i, making it one of the few companies worldwide that could offer a six-ways system. The Fujitsu high-end server range is now being extended with the launch of the eight-way capable Pentium II Xeon based teamserver M800i - the most powerful Intel-based server available to date.
The Fujitsu server range incorporates the high levels of RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability) necessary to support business critical tasks. Hot swap redundant power supplies, hot swap fans and hot swap disks are now offered as standard in models from the teamserver Gi and upwards, while low-cost RAID and UPS are available as options. Rackmount systems are also available across the range, providing greater security and central management.
Manageability is also central to the range - all models incorporate Fujitsu`s servermanager, a powerful set of tools based around a Windows-style interface, which delivers intelligent and reliable monitoring, alerting, remote maintenance and control of the servers on the network.
