Fujitsu recently unveiled the PRIMEQUEST™ 500 servers which offer doubled performance and Advanced Virtualization in mission-critical environments. The PRIMEQUEST 500 series servers employ Dual-core Intel® Itanium® 2 processors, improving performance over previous models by as much as 2.5 times.  PRIMEQUEST 500 series servers deliver extended system scalability and the most advanced virtualization capabilities available today for Linux and Windows environments.

PRIMEQUEST 500 servers are ideal for mission-critical applications that demand high availability, robust performance, enhanced flexibility, and optimum resource usage. They integrate the dual-core Intel® Itanium® 2 processors with a number of architectural design features from Fujitsu to deliver a unique combination of power and flexibility. PRIMEQUEST 500 series servers offer up to 64 processor cores accessing 2TB of uniform main memory in a maximum of 16 partitions. The combination of the advanced eXtended PARtitioning (XPAR) capabilities of PRIMEQUEST servers and the Itanium® 2 Intel® Virtualization Technology creates the most advanced virtualization capabilities on the market.  In addition to partitioning system resources such as CPU and memory, I/O Units can also be individually partitioned to optimize resource allocations on a per-partition basis. Partitions can be defined with System Mirror mode, offering industry-leading fault immunity in the memory and cross-bar implementation.
