1 Introduction
With the completely newly developed FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series, FUJITSU now
offers a server infrastructure which consists of three server lines. Under the umbrella of this
SE infrastructure, multiple application scenarios are possible in various combinations for
both mainframe applications and applications of the open world. This new platform stands
out on account of the unrivaled performance scalability (scale-up and scale-out), and
ensures that users can manage their application workloads securely, quickly and efficiently
across technological boundaries with maximum availability.
One major aim in developing the SE series was to provide a uniform management strategy
which offers customers significant added value through maximum integration, and
guarantees extremely cost-effective operation of their IT.
The new SE server line succeeds the tried and tested S and SQ server lines, integrating
the advantages of both lines in an optimal manner. The heart of the SE series is formed by
the /390-based Server Units, the x86-based Server Units, the Net Unit, and the
Management Unit (MU). All components are integrated into a standard 19" rack and are
supplied to customers ready to use. With its newly developed processors and appreciably
higher system performance, the new generation of the SE series offers enhanced
configuration options, maximum availability and, not least of all, significantly reduced power
consumption.
Depending on requirements, the SE server contains all the system components needed for
operation as an overall application:
– Server Unit /390 for BS2000 guest systems
– Server Unit x86 with BS2000, Linux or Windows guest systems
– Application Units x86 for operating Native or hypervisor systems (e.g. Linux, Windows,
VMware, OVM, etc.)
– Shareable tape and disk periphery
– A high-speed, server-internal infrastructure to connect the components with each other
and with the customer's IP and FC networks.

Introduction
The SE server offers the following advantages:
– Cross-system administration with state-of-the-art, browser-based GUI (SE Manager) as
a single point of operation
– Joint system monitoring of all components
– Uniform redundancy strategy
– Joint service process
– All options for consolidation through virtualization
– SE components and infrastructure are
–
SE servers consequently enable flexible and application-specific implementation which
fulfills high SLAs through the use of high-end components and an end-to-end redundancy
concept, and nevertheless permits cost-effective operation of the overall system with few
resources thanks to its uniformity.
Intel x86-based server systems with their VMware, Linux or Windows system platforms also
profit from the concepts for stable system operation tested on the mainframe:
– Selection of high-quality server components
– Redundant hardware components
– Prepared operating concepts which also include high availability
– Comprehensive tests before release
– Comprehensive service concept.
The management interface which is uniform for all SE servers, the SE Manager, permits a
view of all the system components involved and, from this higher-level perspective, enables
the resources to be optimized through efficient distribution of the application to the systems
which are currently utilized least.
SE servers consequently permit particularly stable system operation which includes not
only the mainframe platforms which have to date been known to be particularly failsafe, but
also other Server Units and the infrastructure and peripherals employed by the SE server.
This can be achieved with fewer resources for administration and system operation than for
separate operation of different IT systems.

Architecture of the SE servers and networks Networks
2.3 Networks
The Net Unit implements the connection of the units to the networks of the SE server and
to customer networks. In addition, private networks are available for internal communication
in the SE server.
The following logical networks are supported:
– Data Network Public
– Data Network Public (DANPU): when required, up to 8 additive networks
DANPU<n> (where <n>= 01..08) can be configured for connecting applications to
the public customer network.
– Data Network Private
– Data Network Private (DANPR): when required, up to 99 networks DANPR<n>
(where <n>= 01..99) can be configured for internal private customer networks for
SE servers.
– Public management networks
– Management Administration Network Public (MANPU) for administrative access to
the MU, BS2000 systems and AUs
– Management Optional Network Public (MONPU): the additive administration
network can be configured when required (e.g. when AIS Connect is not to be
operated via MANPU but over a separate network).
– Management Network Private
– Management Control Network Local (MCNLO) for the local SE server
communication
– Management Control Network Private (MCNPR) for SE server communication
– Management Optional Network Private (MONPR): when required, up to 8 additive
networks MONPR<n> (where <n>= 01..08) can be configured for SE server
communication.
– Management SVP Network Private (MSNPR) enables SVP communication to the
SU /390 on SE700/SE500

Networks Architecture of the SE servers and networks
Bild 2: Block diagram of the Net Unit
The networks are protected, i.e. the use of different networks means that components of
one network cannot influence the components of another network.
The services for the various networks DANPU<xx>, MANPU, MONPU, DANPR<xx> and
MONPR<xx> can be further restricted at Net Unit level by means of the ACL (Access
Control List).
The base operating system of the HNC and SU x86 can only be reached over the internal
networks and are thus protected from the customer networks.
In addition to the connections of the units to the switches of the Net Unit (for use by the
guest systems), direct cabling from the units to the customer network can also be used.
