Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the leading European IT provider and leader in mission-critical computing, today announced its membership of the Itanium Solutions Alliance (ISA).
Founded to boost the availability of Itanium solutions, ISA will facilitate the delivery of a suite of enabling programs targeted at enterprise and technical computing developers.
For customers, this will mean faster time-to-implementation of the applications most critical to their new business needs. Now customers can reap the benefits of industry-standard technology providing lower cost, higher levels of system performance and application integration as well as a broader choice of hardware and software vendors committed to the Itanium architecture.
Fujitsu Siemens Computers integrated the Intel Itanium 2 processor in its PRIMEQUEST server line which was launched earlier this year. The PRIMEQUEST server line combines data centre-class fault immunity and high system scalability for industry-standard environments running Linux and Windows Server 2003 for Itanium-based systems. This makes it an ideal choice for organisations wishing to realise the economic benefits and flexibility of industry-standard solutions without compromising their business continuity.
"Fujitsu Siemens Computers has delivered innovative infrastructures to customers across EMEA and around the globe. Our investment in Itanium-based servers with the PRIMEQUEST server line offers customers a unique opportunity to deploy industry-leading mission-critical server platforms on industry-standard architecture," said Rui de Oliveira, product manager enterprise servers at Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
"The extension of this compelling value proposition resides in the delivery of software solution stacks to enterprise applications. By working within this industry alliance, Fujitsu Siemens Computers will continue to provide customer-centric solutions."
PRIMEQUEST servers are ideal for mission-critical applications which demand high availability, robust performance and enhanced flexibility and optimum resource usage. Typical application areas for PRIMEQUEST servers include large-scale database systems and online transaction processing environments. The PRIMEQUEST server architecture provides a high degree of platform fault immunity with up to eight highly available, independent and hardware isolated partitions - each one being a fully independent `server` within the system.
The PRIMEQUEST server line is offered as part of the Fujitsu Siemens TRIOLE strategy for optimised IT, which unites servers, storage, networks and middleware to provide a dynamic and flexible customer IT environment. The TRIOLE strategy provides the optimised design, development and deployment of highly reliable, business-critical data centres in heterogeneous environments aimed to increase business continuity, agility and efficiency.

The TRIOLE strategy links to Fujitsu Siemens Computers concept of the Dynamic Data Centre (DDC) leading to new-generation hardware and software architecture that focuses on end-user services and service level agreements (SLAs) which enables on-demand computing to become a reality. With the DDC Fujitsu Siemens Computers enables companies to move from system-related tier-IT structures into service-oriented architectures. This means for example that computers and database resources can be dynamically aligned to applications and the result is increased flexibility and reliability, as well as considerable improvement in the cost-effectiveness of the IT infrastructure.
