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 to eight Intel processors of the XEON family) and
their scalability enable them to be employed for a large number of customer applications,
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
independently of the Server Unit.
The following operating systems can be used for Application Units:
● SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 and 12 (SLES 11 and 12, 64-bit)
● RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.5 and 7
● Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2 and 2016
● VMware vSphere 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5
● Microsoft Windows Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 and higher
● Citrix XenServer 6.5
● Oracle LINUX 6.6 and 6.7
● Oracle VM Server 3.3
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].
