At Fujitsu Forum, Fujitsu announced a technology evaluation program for PrimeQuest high end servers which extend capacities of in-memory computing up to 12Tb. This means Fujitsu is the first vendor to enable realtime decision-making for large-scale SAP ERP (enterprise resource planning) application databases, running them in-memory on the SAP HANA platform.

Providing unprecedented levels of performance, Fujitsu PrimeQuest mission-critical RAS (reliability, availability and serviceability) servers are capable of delivering an industry-first breakthrough for in-memory capacity, with technology evaluation systems now able to scale up to four times current limits.

Companies evaluating PrimeQuest will gain a competitive advantage, thanks to the increase in business velocity from running mission-critical ERP systems in-memory. With databases held in memory instead of on disk, benefits include powerful analytics, realtime decision-making and alternative scenario modelling.

As realtime decision-making intensifies competitive pressure, so Fujitsu is enabling technology evaluators to break through current capacity and performance limitations. PrimeQuest achieves this thanks to hugely-increased memory capacities of up to 12Tb and a bank of more than 100 processor cores.

“In a world where organisations are recognising that decisions made in real time mean the difference between winning and losing, Fujitsu is ahead of the market,” says Jens-Peter Seick, senior VP, Product Development Group, International Business, Fujitsu.

“Today we are announcing a technology evaluation program which offers organisations an opportunity to gain significant competitive advantage, by safely running SAP ERP applications in realtime on SAP HANA.”
