Application Unit - Fujitsu SE700 Operating Manual

2 Application Unit

In addition to the Server Unit, up to 20 autonomous high-end x86-64 servers, which are
known as Application Units, can also be installed and operated in the rack of the SE server.
Application Units are particularly suitable for important corporate applications. They offer a
high degree of data security and availability through highly-developed hardware and
software components. Their structure (two or four Intel processors of the XEON E7 family)
and their scalability enable them to be employed for a large number of customer applica-
tions, e.g. for medium-sized or large databases, for ERP systems and for subapplications
which interwork with a BS2000 application on the Server Unit.
In comparison to guest systems on XenVMs in an SU x86, further operating systems can
be operated on the Application Unit, and the selection of configured components is greater.
The operating systems and the customer applications on the Application Unit run indepen-
dently of the Server Unit.
The following operating systems can be used for Application Units:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES 11, 64-bit)
●
RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.5 and 7
●
Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2
●
VMware vSphere 5.1 and 5.5
●
Microsoft Windows Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 and higher
●
If you want to use other operating systems or virtualization techniques, please contact
Customer Support.
It is the responsibility of the customer to configure the Application Units, and also to
installand operate his/her own software on the Application Units, see the "Operation and
Administration" manual [5].
