Architecture of the SE servers

A Fujitsu Server BS2000 SE Series (SE server for short) consists of the following components in the maximum configuration:

• Server Units (SUs /390 and SUs x86)

• Application Units (AUs)

• Peripherals (storage)

• Management Unit (MU) with SE Manager

• Net Unit, for SU /390 with HNC

Figure 1: Architecture of the SE servers

With the SE Manager you can operate and manage all components of the SE server centrally from the Management Unit. The SE Manager offers a user-friendly, web-based user interface for this purpose.

In addition to the maximum configuration, variants are offered which do not contain all units.

Operation of the SE Manager is described in the online help for the SE Manager and in the “Operation and Administration” manual [57].

The Net Unit, for SUs /390 with High-Speed Network Connect (HNC), offers highest performance and security for internal communication in an SE server and for the connection to customer networks (LANs).

The released versions of the BS2000 operating system support the Server Unit /390 (/390 architecture) and the Server Unit x86 (x86 architecture).

Further configuration levels of the Server Units can be released at various times. For information, please see the product announcements and release information.
