Long Lifecycle Servers: Overview
Long-term availability Selected PRIMERGY models are available over an extended lifecycle of 5
years x 12 month = 60 months (regular lifecycle 24 months)
Applicable models are PRIMERGY RX2540 M1, PRIMERGY RX2530 M1 in
specific configurations
Maintenance service and spare part availability (5 years) are shifted
accordingly
Prolongation of standard OS support cycle needs to be negotiated on
demand
Use-cases & customer needs
Keep negotiated offers/prices of
baskets and service contracts
(SLAs)
Solutions based on approved/
sized and qualified hardware
Solutions that won‘t be updated to
new OS versions
Solutions based on components
or certifications which will not be
implemented in future models
(e.g. PCI 32 bit cards)
Delivery into ongoing, long lasting
roll-outs

Long Lifecycle Servers
Long-term availability
Selected Fujitsu Server PRIMERGY models are available over
an extended lifecycle
Lifecycle stretches to 60 months / 5 years starting with general
availability (VS50*) of the product. (regular lifecycle: 12 to 24
months)
No upgrade / supplemental business after “End of Sales” of
LLC-Server (VS65-L*)
Applicable models
PRIMERGY RX2540 M1 and PRIMERGY RX2530 M1
Optimized configurations to support long availability
Maintenance, service and spare part availability is guaranteed
(5 years)
Calculating the Availability
Initial Start of Sales (VS50)
+5 years End of Sales LLC (VS65-L)
+5 years End of Service LLC (VS70-L / MS90-L)
* VS = „Vertriebsstatus“ (German) = „Sales Status“ MS = „Milestone“

Long Lifecycle Servers: User scenarios
Keep qualified hardware Legacy hardware or
software required
Long roll-outs Shopping baskets
Solutions requiring a
comprehensive evaluation
of the server hardware.
Keeping the same hardware
for a longer period reduces
re-qualification efforts.
Example: servers in medical
systems, power plants,
communication (telco)
scenarios
Solutions based on legacy
hardware (e.g. PCI 32 bit
expansion cards) or when a
required software stack
won’t be supported by future
operating systems (e.g.
software based on Windows
Server 2003)
Example: production, facility,
automation systems
For ongoing, long-lasting
roll-outs into projects which
require a constant hardware
long lifecycle servers.
Example: staggered roll-out
of systems for data centers
Offers and prices of fixed
customer shopping baskets
and service contracts
(SLAs) can be kept for a long
time.
Example: public sector, large
customers, data centers

Product details & order process
How to order a Long Lifecycle Server (LLC-Version)?
SystemArchitect
Long lifecycle servers are listed as own product models with specific base units in the
SystemArchitect
The base unit features just the components which are released for the long lifecycle
Order availability
The long lifecycle server can be ordered without limits until the „End of Sales“ date of the
system
LLC is not part of the Value4You (V4Y) program of preconfigured models for the channel
business. Systems must be ordered via „Build to Order“ (BTO)
Pricing
While the standard components keep the pricing of the regular server model, the LLC base
unit and the after-market components feature a slight price uplift
Configuration Limitations
Due to a very broad range of available components in the LLC-model mother systems, it is
rather impossible to offer their full capability in an LLC-model. Therefore, limitations are listed
within the SystemArchitect. For special releases of required components, please contact the
PRIMERGY Product Management team with a significant business need. If the targeted
component cannot be included through the standard process the Fujitsu Made4You
customizing service might be offered.

Operating System support
Fujitsu will make sure that at least one of the SUPPORTED
(„mainstream“ or „extended“) Operating System of the major vendors
such as Microsoft, VMware, RedHat, SuSE will be supported on the
LLC Hardware from Fujitsu perspective. This is not necessarily the
latest one and might be affected by the support lifecycle policy of the
OS vendor. Prolongation of standard lifecycle may be available from
OS vendor and must be negotiated.
In case of specific OS requirements please check in detail with your
partner or Fujitsu sales rep
