The Fujitsu Server BS2000 SE series with its innovative HW and SW features forms the proven mainframe line from Fujitsu. Designed as hybrid systems, the SE servers create a new quality of openness and integration capability of different server and peripheral systems with simultaneous comprehensive and cross-system manageability.
Under the umbrella of the SE infrastructure, multiple application scenarios are possible in various combinations for both mainframe applications and applications of the open world. The server architecture offers comprehensive performance scalability (scale-up and scale-out), and ensures that users can manage their application workloads securely, quickly and efficiently across technological boundaries with maximum availability.
One major aim of the SE servers is to provide a uniform management strategy which offers customers significant added value through maximum integration, and guarantees extremely cost-effective operation of their IT.
The heart of the SE series is formed by the /390-based Server Units, the x86-based Server Units, the Net Unit (NU) and the Management Unit (MU).
All components are integrated into a standard 19" rack and are supplied to customers ready to use.
In addition to their high system performance, the servers of the SE series offer enhanced configuration options, maximum availability and, not least of all, reduced power consumption compared with predecessors.
Depending on requirements, the SE server contains all the system components needed for operation as an overall application:
Server Unit /390 for BS2000 guest systems
Server Unit x86 for BS2000 guest systems
Application Units x86 for operating Native or hypervisor systems (e.g. Linux, Windows, VMware, etc.)
- Net Unit as a high-speed, server-internal infrastructure to connect the components with each other and with the customer's IP networks.
Shareable tape and disk periphery
Infrastructure to connect the components with the customer's FC networks
