Fujitsu has developed the SPARC64TM X (ten) and the new SPARC64TM X+ (ten plus) processor to combine high performance and high reliability. The Fujitsu M10 systems which surround the SPARC64TM X/SPARC64TM X+ processor merge numerous hardware and software technologies to provide customers with the most appropriate solution for their ever-growing IT infrastructure.
With the SPARC64TM X/SPARC64TM X+ processor developed for UNIX servers, the peripheral ASIC functions have been consolidated into the processor. Many processing functions, which were traditionally handled by software, have been built in to the processor hardware by adding multiple, dedicated instructions; thus achieving significant improvement in processing speed (throughput) and overall performance.

SPARC64TM X/SPARC64TM X+ processors are connected together in Fujitsu M10 systems using a cutting-edge fast interconnect technology. Moreover, the Fujitsu M10-4S model adopts the Building Block method1 of expansion which can reduce customers’ initial investment and achieve linear performance as the system grows to meet increasing demand. Up to 16 Fujitsu M10-4S chassis can be interconnected to build a single, large system with up to 64 CPUs, delivering the highest performance in an extremely flexible and scalable system. These features make the Fujitsu M10 systems the most appropriate servers for datacenters in the cloud computing era.
Fujitsu M10 systems are offered with two kinds of processors, SPARC64TM X+ and SPARC64TM X. With these two processors customers are able to select the most appropriate engine depending on the work load required. Furthermore, the Fujitsu M10-4S server supports combined SPARC64TM X and SPARC64TM X+ chassis in a singlessystem, protecting previous IT investments.
Fujitsu M10 systems also benefit from improved power-saving features and increased ease of installation. Together SPARC64TM X/SPARC64TM X+ processors, with consolidated peripheral ASIC functions, and Fujitsu M10 systems, with high-efficiency power supplies and novel new cooling technology, lead directly to a very densely packaged server delivering substantial space savings and reduction in power usage.
