Fujitsu’s PRIMEQUEST 420

Features: This midrange server is powered by Intel Itanium 2 processors and runs Linux or Windows Server 2003. The PRIMEQUEST 420 supports a maximum of eight processors rated at 1.5 GHz or 1.6 GHz. It incorporates two key technologies—System Mirror and Flexible Input/Output (FIO). System Mirror allows memory modules and crossbar interconnects to operate in duplex mode and isolates errors without halting the system. FIO allows I/O resources to be dynamically allocated based on real-time performance requirements. The server architecture also provides up to two hardware-isolated partitions, each of which functions like an independent ‘server’ within the system for fault tolerance. The server has a high-density rack-mount form factor.
