2.2 Application Unit PQ (SE AU PQ)

The Application Unit PQ (SE AU PQ) is based on the different models of the FUJITSU Server PRIMEQUEST
series, scalable with up to 8 sockets of the Intel XEON processor family.
The AU87 and DBU87 models are based on the Primequest PQ2800E, which requires 10 height units in the rack.
The AUQ38E or DBU38E models are based on the Primequest PQ3800E, which requires 7 height units in the
rack.
The SE AU PQ combines the economic and flexibility benefits of x86 standards with mission-critical uptime features.
Isolated partitions enable high availability, where any hardware failure does not have any impact on other partitions.
Partitioning enables also flexibility in using the hardware resources, as the partitions can be configured as needed
for the workload of applications.
With the SE AU PQ are two high end usage scenarios possible:
A general usage by customers: The customer determines the HW expansion of the AU, selects hypervisor and/or
operating system(s) and is responsible for the operation itself. Monitoring and administration is carried out by the
customer partly using the SE manager and partly with the tools of the software used.
Usage as FUJITSU powered appliance: In a project-specific manner, the AU is configured by FUJITSU service
employees in cooperation with the customer and the required SW configuration is defined. In the agreed
framework, the required software will be installed before delivery and the AU will be administered by FUJITSU.
An example of this procedure is Oracle Database Server based on SE Application Units DBU87 and DBU38E (SE
DBU).
The SE DBU offers an integrated, secure, mainframe-class appliance consisting of hardware and hypervisor
software which can be used by the customer like an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): The customer is responsible
for the operating system and database in the VMs on the DBU87, while FUJITSU delivers and configures
everything, takes care of the licenses and maintains the hardware and hypervisor software during the whole
lifecycle. Advantages for customers arise from the optimized cost efficiency, simplified operation and most current
database versions on x86.
The original documentation of the PRIMEQUEST series applies for SE AU PQ. Note that some features of the
PRIMEQUEST series may be released with restrictions for use on the SE server. You will find details of this in the
Release Notice.
