Fujitsu announces a full refresh of its PRIMERGY dual-socket server line up from tower servers to nodes for high performance computing clusters, delivering new levels of performance combined with greater energy savings than ever before.
Despite IT challenges being the same across industries, Fujitsu recognises there is no one-size-fits-all approach to the question of datacentre infrastructure. In line with its concept of Business-Centric Computing, Fujitsu’s broad portfolio and unique, consultative approach is designed to ensure that customers are able to choose server options that are an exact fit for their organisation’s requirements. The new PRIMERGY line-up includes classical towers, racks, blades and slimline nodes for clusters, and dedicated rack models for service providers and hosters. The broad line-up provides a flexible enough choice to meet the needs of businesses large and small, across all vertical markets.
Uwe Neumeier, Vice President and Head of Datacentre, EMEIA Product Business at Fujitsu, says: “You wouldn’t construct a building without solid foundations. It’s the same when you construct your ICT infrastructure. Datacentres need to support our customers business requirements and business models. In our digital age, IT enables businesses to be more competitive, efficient and effective. Our X86 server line is a key enabler to businesses and supporting ICT processes, especially in the software defined datacentre space: Whether it’s in a medical practice, for an ERP system in a production plant or the collaboration platform connecting a global workforce. Without a solid business centric datacentre foundation, no enterprise can expect to enjoy the consistency and flexibility it needs to stay competitive and excel.”
Refreshed with newly released Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v4 product family processors with DDR4 memory technology with up to 2,400 MHz frequency, Fujitsu’s new-generation PRIMERGY dual-socket servers remain at the forefront of performance, boasting approximately 20 percent more system performance in comparison to the previous generation. This claim is backed by seven current benchmark world records1, demonstrating that Fujitsu dual-socket servers are not just fast in processing the workload at hand, but can also achieve this with an outstanding performance/energy consumption ratio.
Fujitsu PRIMERGY customers also enjoy reduced energy costs for system cooling thanks to Fujitsu’s Cool-safe® Advanced Thermal Design, with the threshold for safe operation raised from 40°C to 45°C for most available rack, tower and scale-out systems. The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 option means IT infrastructure is further protected against attack, since the system is able to to verify communication and manage encryption of data.
