Fujitsu Siemens Computers (FSC) has launched a brace of server series in its B2000 Business Server range, the SX100 aimed at entry-level mainframe users, and the SX160 with what FSC calls medium performance. They slot below FSC’s existing mainframe range, and are based on Sparc64 processors, which FSC also uses in its high-end UNIX servers.

Very cool, there are still people using mainframes because their applications are written for that platform, this Fujitsu server brings further opportunities to their mainframe platform which for the end user has to be a good thing, more choice means more alternatives for the market.

    - and because the mainframe’s powerful i/o capabilities are still required by large companies.

    I’m for whatever technology works as a business enabler, there are a lot of people that get benefits from main frame technology which continues to drive that market and long may it continue.
