Fujitsu and Oracle corporations announced in April, 2013 the beginning of sales of the Fujitsu M10 servers based on the 16-core SPARC64 X processor.
60 years' experiment of Fujitsu on development of systems of level of a mainframe with the maximum scalability for crucial workloads is the cornerstone of new servers that allowed to implement the same level of reliability, readiness and convenience of service (RAS) of a class of the mainframe in the M10 servers.
The Fujitsu M10 servers are dynamically scaled from 1 to 64 processors thanks to modular architecture with poyaderny activation of processors that allows customers to add with ease computing resources in the form of "construction blocks" without interruption of system operation for satisfaction of the growing requirements of applications.
With technologies, such as Software on Chip ("software on a crystal") and Liquid Loop Cooling (a water cooling system with the closed circuit), the Fujitsu M10 servers also offer flexible system configurations with a possibility of creation of physical sections and uses which are built in (and provided without additional payment) technologies of virtualization Oracle VM Server for SPARC and Oracle Solaris Zones.
The Fujitsu M10 servers support the Oracle Solaris operating system of versions 10 and 11, and within the Oracle Solaris Guarantee Program program guarantee binary compatibility with the current and previous models of the SPARC servers providing additional protection of investments of customers.
