Fujitsu Siemens Primepower 400T

Fujitsu Siemens Primepower 400T ... System) Level 3 compliant PRIMEPOWER 400T. The first 4-way compute node within the PRIMEPOWER server family is the model 400T with Solaris operating system. It is an independent departmental server providing an exceptional price/performance ratio with up to four processors using only four height units. These processors conform to the SPARC V9 architecture, are certified for Oracle8i and compatible with Sun Catalyst. What's more, the PRIMEPOWER servers offer RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability), features usually only encountered in larger mainframe systems. The PRIMEPOWER models 400T are scalable and can be upgraded with ease to four CPUs and 8 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. Two different models of PW 400T are available today, one with 500 MHz SPARC64 GP and the other one with 600 MHz SPARC64 GP. These processors deliver excellent CPU performance as well as outstanding transaction performance. A PRIMEPOWER 400T 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 include the comprehensive Fujitsu Siemens Computers monitoring system, as well "hot-swap" functions for mirrored hard disks, redundant power supplies and fans. PW 400T technically is almost equal to the PRIMEPOWER 400N, but providing several qualitative features making it an outstanding product.
