Introduction - Fujitsu SE700 Operating Manual

1 Introduction

The FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series unites the existing server lines S servers and SQ
servers in the server line SE servers.
Depending on requirements, the SE server contains all the system components needed for
operation as an overall application:
– SU /390 for BS2000 guest systems
– Server Unit x86 with BS2000, Linux or Windows guest systems
– Application Units x86 for operating Native or hypervisor systems (e.g. Linux, Windows,
VMware, OVM, etc.)
– Shareable tape and disk periphery
– A high-speed, server-internal infrastructure to connect the components with each other
and with the customer's IP or FC network.
The SE server is installed entirely and tested on the vendor's premises in accordance with
customer specifications.
Many hardware components are redundant in design, thus ensuring that even if a fault
occurs with these components, operation can continue with the same performance.
You can easily upgrade the models on site.
