Architecture of the SE servers

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

• Server Units (SU /390 and SU x86)

• Application Units (AU)

• Peripherals (storage)

• Management Unit (MU) with SE Manager

• Net Unit, for SU /390 with HNC

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 also 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 [19].

The Net Unit, for SU /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 (LAN).

The BS2000 operating system in the released versions serves the Server Unit /390 (/390 server) and the Server Unit x86 (x86 server).

Further configuration levels of the Server Units may be released at some point in the future. Watch out for product announcements and release information.
