Fujitsu Siemens Computers announces Solaris™ 10 is
Ready for PRIMEPOWER
Provides customers with the most innovative hardware platform
for the industry's most advanced UNIX® OS
MUNICH/GERMANY, November 15, 2004 —Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the leading European IT company
with mainframe-class products for the Solaris market, announced
today that the newly announced Solaris™ 10 Operating System
from Sun Microsystems is PRIMEPOWER ready. The Solaris 10 operating
system is the most innovative and business critical UNIX® OS
in the market, assuring customers of the highest levels of
reliability, flexibility and ease-of-use, all inside a secure
operating environment. The PRIMEPOWER-Solaris combination ensures
customers that their Business Critical Computing environments,
running mission-critical applications and databases – stay up
and running securely, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. Sun
plans to make Solaris 10 available in January 2005.
PRIMEPOWER has been a premier platform for Solaris since
1998. With outstanding performance records, Fujitsu Siemens
Computers’ PRIMEPOWER servers, from 2-processor systems
through 128-processor systems, are leading the way in the field of
UNIX servers. The outstanding performance capability is accompanied
by the highest level of data processing reliability in the UNIX
RISC server market. The addition of Solaris 10 to this impressive
product family increases the overall market acceptance and enhances
its competitiveness.
The entire PRIMEPOWER server family guarantees 100%
compatibility with Solaris. All Fujitsu Siemens Computers
PRIMEPOWER systems are certified as part of Sun’s Solaris
Hardware Partner Program (SHWP). Any application developed using
standard Solaris Application Program Interfaces (APIs) and
Application Binary Interfaces (ABIs) will run on PRIMEPOWER systems
unmodified including, of course, Sun’s middleware software
products (http://www.sun.com/servers/fujitsu).
“The release of Solaris 10 is greeted with excitement
by customers and industry. Solaris 10 provides the huge installed
base and the thousands of application developers with new
functionality, security and reduced complexity,” said Dieter
Herzog, Executive Vice President Enterprise Products. “With
PRIMEPOWER and Solaris 10, we offer the customer the best choice
for their infrastructures.”
Solaris 10 new offerings and features fit perfectly in
Fujitsu Siemens Computers’ recently announced TRIOLE strategy
for empowering future-ready dynamic data centres. The TRIOLE
strategy stands for the design, development and deployment of
products, solutions and services to help users align optimizing
their IT infrastructure. It will allow customers to enhance
business efficiency, increase business agility and improve business
continuity. PRIMEPOWER servers are a core product line in TRIOLE
scenarios for optimized IT, and combined with Solaris 10 they will
deliver incredible value to customers.
