Fujitsu announces expansion of its Business-Centric PRIMERGY Servers

Fujitsu has announced expansion of its PRIMERGY dual-socket server lineup, with new models specifically designed to enable business growth in data centers that are limited in their overall expansion by energy and space restrictions.

The new Fujitsu rack and blade servers are designed to reduce cost, improve efficiency and accelerate workloads to deliver optimum, scalable levels of productivity while still meeting specific maximum limits in terms of use of rack space, plus caps on power and cooling.

Uwe Neumeier, Vice-President, Global Server Business, Fujitsu, said, “We see our customers reaching limits in terms of power consumption and physical space in their established data center environments. At the same time, most businesses are demanding ever more scalability, availability and performance. Fujitsu is addressing this challenge with very energy-efficient servers like the new 1U dual-socket PRIMERGY RX2530 rack model, which has just set a new class record for power consumption.” Fujitsu is also expanding its already-extensive portfolio of blade systems with the new PRIMERGY BX2580 M1 server blade, optimized for handling virtualization and other demanding workloads. Both new servers join the PRIMERGY lineup, which was fully refreshed in September 2014 with dual-socket systems featuring a comprehensive lineup of improvements based on field feedback from customers. The new servers are characterized by the PRIMERGY brand’s proven quality and reliability, and include new features such as the latest Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 product family plus super-fast DDR4 memory technology to help boost application performance. Fujitsu also helps reduce the overhead of IT labour to administer and manage server farms through innovative additions such as Embedded Lifecycle Management, which is part of the widely deployed FUJITSU Software ServerView Suite.

Both new PRIMERGY models are optimized for integration into existing network landscapes, and can dynamically scale I/O bandwidth to meet application needs, thanks to the use of a unique, modular, scalable and field interchangeable LOM architecture (LAN On Mainboard), known as DynamicLoM, and Universal Converged Network Adapters.
