Fujitsu showcased its additions to the high-end server world today, the PrimeQuest 480 and PrimeQuest 440, built on Itanium 2 chips. The servers will be released in June with Red Hat Linux, but Fujitsu said it will offer a version running Novell/SuSE Linux as well as Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Datacenter and Enterprise editions in September. While Fujitsu aims to position itself as an alternative to IBM and Hewlett-Packard Unix systems, one analyst said the release may have unintended benefits for HP, which has staked its future on Itanium.
