PRIMEPOWER servers use the Fujitsu-designed SPARC64 V microprocessor.
This complies with the SPARC International V9 Level 2 specification and is binary
compatible with Sun UltraSPARC products. PRIMEPOWER servers run Solaris 8 (2/02),
Solaris 9 (9/03), and Solaris 10. Application binaries developed using Solaris 8, Solaris 9
and Solaris 10 APIs and ABIs will run on PRIMEPOWER systems unmodified.
The following Sun products are compatible with PRIMEPOWER servers:
Solaris Management Console
Sun Storage File System Management:
SAM-FS
QFS
Sun Middleware:
Sun Java System Access Manager
Sun Java System Application Server Standard Edition 7 and Platform Edition 7
Sun Java System Message Queue - Java Message Service

Sun and Fujitsu have been technology partners for more than two
decades. Sun and Fujitsu's expanded relationship, announced on June 1,
2004, includes joint development and delivery of a future generation of
Solaris and SPARC-based systems. Code named Advanced Product Line
(APL), the products will succeed Sun's and Fujitsu's current product
lines, Sun Fire and PRIMEPOWER, respectively.
The new T1000 and T2000 systems, collectively called T1-based systems,
from Sun will become the low end of the APL product line. The
T1000/T2000 systems are now available from Sun and Sun's value-added
resellers, including Fujitsu.
