Fujitsu GP7000F servers achieve two performance records

Tokyo 01 Dec 99 Fujitsu Limited current mid-range Solaris workhorse, the GP7000F Model 600 with up to eight SPARC64(TM) GP 300MHz processors, has achieved two performance records certified by both SAP AG and Baan. This news comes soon after the announcements of much larger and even higher performance 32- way and 64-way processors systems in this product range.

"It is our intention to offer our customers a product which not only supports the widest range of Unix applications but also delivers the best possible price performance," said Mr. Isao Suzuki, Senior Vice President and Group President, Marketing Group, Fujitsu Limited. "These SAP and Baan Benchmark results are indicative of our focus on value for money and system performance with our SPARC64 GP processor based GP7000F UNIX server range." The SAP benchmark was achieved using SAP's R/3 Sales & Distribution component release 4.0B and the Oracle 8.0.5 database, running on the Solaris 7 operating system. The server, a GP7000F-M600, was configured with eight 300MHz SPARC64 GP processors. 430 SD benchmark users were supported with an average dialog response time of 1.97 seconds.
