Fujitsu Siemens Primepower 400N

Fujitsu Siemens Primepower 400N ... operating system. It is an independent departmental server providing an exceptional price/performance and size/performance ratio with up to four processors using only four height units. It conforms to the SPARC V9 processor architecture, is certified for Oracle8i and compatible with Sun Catalyst. What's more, the PRIMEPOWER servers offer redundancy, a feature usually only encountered in larger mainframe systems. The PRIMEPOWER models 400N are scalable, and can be upgraded with ease to four CPUs and 16 GB of main memory. These nodes feature a dual-UPA (Ultra Port Architecture) crossbar technology for optimum performance. Dual CPUs can therefore be configured so that each has its own UPA, main memory and I/O bus. Compared with single technology, this architecture achieves a substantial linear increase in overall performance for each CPU added. The SPARC64 GP processor delivers excellent CPU performance as well as outstanding transaction performance per clock cycle. A PRIMEPOWER 400N compute node can accommodate up to 2 hard disk drives internally. Optional internal magnetic tape cartridge systems and other external high-capacity storage devices can be added without problems. The RAS features (Reliability / Availability / Serviceability) include the comprehensive Fujitsu Siemens Computers monitoring system, as well as "hot-swap" functions for mirrored hard disks, redundant power supplies and fans.
