Hat Trick for Fujitsu - Fujitsu Sets Three New Benchmark Performance Records with PRIMEQUEST Servers

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu today announced three new benchmark world records for datacenter virtualization and online transaction processing that highlight the performance and new mission-critical capabilities of the company's high-end FUJITSU Server PRIMEQUEST® line.

Three key benchmark records recently achieved by the PRIMEQUEST 2800E server product:

1. The PRIMEQUEST 2800E sets the 'VMmark® overall world record'¹ with four 4-way partitions in two servers²
2. The PRIMEQUEST 2800E also sets VMmark record in 'uniform-hosts' configurations as best two-socket system using four two-way partitions in a single system³
3. Also, the PRIMEQUEST 2800E has set a new world-record TPC-E benchmark⁴ with a result of 8,582.52 tpsE and a price/performance of $205.43/tpsE.

These impressive results for the PRIMEQUEST 2800E showcase the system's capabilities for running mission-critical applications, large scale databases and real-time analytics, which require high performance plus the availability levels equivalent to those of UNIX systems. The mission-critical features enable outstanding platform reliability with innovative error prevention and self-healing capabilities – all with the flexibility and cost advantages of an x86-based architecture.

Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST servers are being recognized by customers as the perfect platform for running high performance and mission-critical business applications, ranging from SAP HANA® solutions and real-time analytics to running Enterprise applications where the large memory of PRIMEQUEST product and high resiliency are key differentiators for the customer."
