With PRIMERGY BladeFrame powered by Egenera, Fujitsu Siemens Computers clears the way for highly responsive and efficient enterprise IT. The solution features a service-oriented infrastructure, the innovative Processing Area Network (PAN), which radically eliminates the complexity of traditional infrastructures. The architecture of PRIMERGY BladeFrame servers was inspired by the Storage Area Network (SAN). The PAN architecture enables utility computing by providing a pool of stateless processing nodes connected via a high-speed, low-latency fabric.
PRIMERGY BladeFrame: Architecture and functional principle
With PRIMERGY BladeFrame powered by Egenera, Fujitsu Siemens Computers clears the way for highly responsive and efficient enterprise IT. The solution features a service-oriented infrastructure, the innovative Processing Area Network (PAN), which radically eliminates the complexity of traditional infrastructures. The PAN architecture of PRIMERGY BladeFrame servers was inspired by the Storage Area Network (SAN). The PAN abstracts server and network resources in the same way that the SAN virtualized storage resources. The PAN architecture enables utility computing by providing a pool of stateless processing nodes connected via a high-speed, low-latency fabric.

Integrated virtualization facilitates the free, dynamic assignment of applications to the computer resources they actually use in the PRIMERGY BladeFrame. This process enables increased exploitation of pooled resources, simplified fail-over processes for higher application availability and highly efficient disaster recovery solutions. BladeFrame is a dynamically usable server pool in which the individual computer nodes are reduced to CPU and memory resources (known as ‘stateless servers') using shared, virtual I/O interfaces for LAN/SAN/switches mapped by the integrated PAN (processor area network).
PRIMERGY BF400
Fujitsu Siemens Primergy BladeFrame BF400 S2 - processing blades being used individually to run independent applications, or clusters of processing blades cooperating on a few applications, or any combination thereof. Increasing the amount of available computing power is as simple as sliding in new processing blades. The chassis contains switch blades and control blades, as well as integrated interconnect and power connections. Each chassis connects to networks and storage with fully redundant cables: Gigabit Ethernet links and Fiber Channel SAN links. Since processing blades contain processors and memory, but not network or disk devices, networks and disks are centrally connected to the chassis' control blades.
