Fujitsu Siemens Computers turns on the power for world`s largest commercial Unix systems

Fujitsu Siemens Computers has announced that it has achieved an unprecedented score of 13 000 SAP SD Benchmark users in the two-tier SAP Standard Application Sales and Distribution Benchmark with a 128-processor Solaris/SPARC -based PRIMEPOWER 2500 server model and Oracle9i Database Release 2.

This not only breaks through the 10 000 user barrier for the first time, but firmly places PRIMEPOWER and Oracle9i Database technology in the number one position worldwide on this key performance benchmark.

In addition, demonstrating PRIMEPOWER`s excellent linear scalability as processors are added, Fujitsu Siemens Computers achieved a score of 7 550 SAP SD benchmark users running Oracle9i Database Release 2 with a 64-processor PRIMEPOWER 2500 server model.

These achievements follow five other recent high-rated benchmark result numbers for Fujitsu Siemens Computers midrange PRIMEPOWER servers, including a number one position in two-tier SAP Standard Application mySAP Utilities-Customer Care and Service (ISU/CCS) Benchmark made public in March.*

Fujitsu Siemens Computers is committed to achieving the world`s highest system performance, stability, and reliability, and the company has taken its enterprise-class PRIMEPOWER platform scalability to levels never before possible in the Unix server marketplace. Importantly these achievements have been made in conjunction with SAP AG, the world`s leading provider of business software solutions, and Oracle, the world`s largest enterprise software company.

"The combination of PRIMEPOWER and Oracle9i Database Release 2 continues to meet with unprecedented success in real-world high-performance benchmark testing," said Richard Sarwal, Vice-President, Data Server Applied Technologies, Oracle Corporation.

Many users of SAP solutions are interested in upgrading their current SAP systems to embrace the powerful enhanced capabilities of mySAP Business Suite solutions. PRIMEPOWER servers, with their superior performance and scalability - as demonstrated across a range of SAP benchmarks - have been shown to be a leading platform for such demanding and experienced mySAP Business Suite users.

"PRIMEPOWER with its new extended architecture and systems stability management capability is now clearly the standard to beat in enterprise computing platforms," commented Peter Jilek, Executive Vice-President, Enterprise Products at Fujitsu Siemens Computers. "Its ability to run large and tuned Oracle9i Databases in commercial environments and important commercial benchmarks is also real proof of its enterprise computing credentials."

PRIMEPOWER 2500 server models can scale from 1 to 128 SPARC64TM V processors and can be further upgraded by the implementation of even higher clock speed processors, as they are introduced as part of the Fujitsu processor roadmap. In addition, Fujitsu`s implementation of extended partitioning (XPAR) and dynamic relocation brings the flexibility of software partitioning to hardware implementation ensuring maximum system availability. All of these features are important to users of SAP solutions who must maintain their systems for many years as part of their core corporate business tasks.
