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 DBQ38E 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 DBQ38E (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.
