Description
Fujitsu and PFU together announced the FUJITSU GP7000F family in November 1998 as a new line of Fujitsu UNIX servers that were equipped with 64-bit RISC-based*1 SPARC*2 64-GP processors developed by Fujitsu. Fujitsu realigned its UNIX servers under the new GP7000 series banner: the previous S family (S series) models became the GP7000S family, and the GRANPOWER 7000 series models were split into the GP7000F family (running Sun’s Solaris operating system) and the GP7000D family (running Fujitsu’s UXP/DS operating system). The FUJITSU GP7000F family was targeted for sales in Asia, Oceania, North America, and Europe as well as Japan. From this point on, the GP7000F family became the core family of Fujitsu’s UNIX servers.
