Family features

Some features in PRIMERGY servers are available in all systems.

Cool-safe Advanced Thermal Design

Cool-safe Advanced Thermal Design[12] is Fujitsu's brand name for systems that can operate in higher ambient temperatures. The extended temperature range is from 5 °C-40 °C,[13] supposedly allowing to raising the temperature in a data center and thus saving on cooling costs.

ServerView Suite

ServerViev Suite is the administration software[14] which is used to manage Fujitsu's PRIMERGY and PRIMEQUEST servers or to integrate these servers in enterprise management solutions like Microsoft System Center,[15] VMware vSphere and Nagios Core. To monitor other vendors' systems in ServerView their Management Information Base (MIB) can be integrated.[16]

PRIMEQUEST - differentiation

PRIMEQUEST is the brand-name for business- and mission-critical servers.[17] FUJITSU Server PRIMEQUEST is also an x86 architecture designed server, but with extended RAS-features.
