In the maximum configuration, a FUJITSU Server BS2000 of the SE Series (SE server for short) consists of the following components:
Management Unit (MU) with SE Manager
The operation of the SE server with a single Management Unit is called a "single-MU configuration". The Management Unit can be redundant in design. An SE server configuration with more than one Management Unit (MU redundancy on the SE server or Management Cluster with two SE servers) is called "multi-MU configuration".
MU redundancy ensures that the components of the SE server can still be operated if one MU fails. In particular this means that the SKP functionality is then still available for operating an SU /390.Server Unit (SU)
An SU /390 enables operation of BS2000 (Native BS2000 or VM2000).
An SU x86 enables operation of BS2000 (Native BS2000 or VM2000). XenVM operation with Linux or Windows guest systems is also possible as an option.
SE700 with an SU /390 and optionally up to two further SU x86
SE500 with an SU /390 and optionally up to two further SU x86
SE300 with an SU x86 and optionally up to two further SU x86
Application Unit (AU)
Multiple AUs can be operated on the SE server. An AU enables operation of applications under Linux, Windows or hypervisor-based systems.Net Unit (NU)
The Net Unit offers maximum performance and security for internal communication in an SE server and for a connection to customer networks (IP networks). For an SU /390, HNC is an additional component of the Net Unit.
In the case of SE500 and SE700 the Net Unit is always redundant in design. In the case of SE300 redundancy of the Net Unit is optional.
The Net Unit is supplied preconfigured, is autonomous with respect to SE server management, and can easily be connected to the customer network.
Rack console and KVM switch
Peripherals (storage)
Optional hardware components:
Disk storage systems (for SU x86, AU), tape library systems (for SU x86), FC switches
