Future-proof new PRIMERGY server design from Fujitsu Siemens Computers offers more for less
Dual Socket S5 server family system, more operations for fewer watts with Cool-safe™ chassis, new Green IT label models
The new PRIMERGY Dual Socket S5 server architecture from Fujitsu Siemens Computers is future proof, and already available to order with the new line-up of Intel CPUs. The PRIMERGY S5 generation system’s performance, power efficiency, usability and built-in virtualization technology make it the perfect platform for dynamic infrastructures, while its Cool-safe chassis saves energy and reduces operational costs.
Masami Yamamoto, Corporate Senior Vice President, Fujitsu Limited says: "The new global product line of PRIMERGY servers means the Fujitsu Group is ideally positioned to increase its worldwide presence of products, solutions and data center services. With its brand values of outstanding quality, performance and green features, PRIMERGY is a cornerstone of Fujitsu's strategy. The new Dual Socket S5 generation underlines Fujitsu's continued orientation on customer requirements."
New generation PRIMERGY Dual Socket S5 servers are designed with present and future customer requirements in mind. The new systems are optimized for maximum performance, with a memory capacity of up to 144 GB, and offer the latest Intel Xeon® 5500 processor series, codenamed Nehalem, unveiled today by Intel. With their new levels of performance and reliability, the new dual-socket PRIMERGY S5 models are ideal for virtualization scenarios and consolidation projects, as in many cases, a single server is a perfect substitute for a cluster of older servers.
Green IT is a key part of the design of the new PRIMERGY S5 server range. The new models are among the first servers to be marked with Fujitsu Siemens Computers’ own Green IT label and achieve a coveted two-star ranking in this stringent labeling scheme. They ship with power supply units that are high efficient. Innovative ServerView Power Management features make it easy to conserve power, resulting in lower energy costs per server. In addition, the new servers feature “Cool-safe”, a unique new cooling-optimized design, which further cuts energy consumption. All in all, the new PRIMERGY S5 servers do more with less power, helping contribute to a significant drop in lifetime ownership costs.
The dual-socket category is one of the largest x86 server market segments. Offering a choice of machines that ideally suited to customer environments, five new dual-socket models are already ready to ship – the range starting with the TX300 S5 (tower server), the RX200 S5 (1U rack server), and the RX300 S5 (2U rack server). In June, two more PRIMERGY models, the TX200 S5 (tower server) and BX620 S5 (Blade server) will complement the product range.
Jens-Peter Seick, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Server Business at Fujitsu Siemens Computers says: “The new S5 generation of PRIMERGY servers make a real breakthrough in terms of lifetime ownership costs. We are introducing a revolutionary new design that optimizes cooling and usability as well as immediately being able to offer the next-generation Intel Xeon processors. The result is a very high performance range of servers that are able to provide the performance for long-term data center deployment. The new PRIMERGY S5 generation is built to save time and resources and is a good example of how our innovative server design meets customers’ needs now and in the future.”
The new Intel Xeon® processor 5500 is another key milestone in Intel’s approach to increase the power while reducing power consumption in Servers” says Christian Morales, Vice President and General Manager Europe, Middle East and Africa at Intel. “Customers can unleash the power and energy efficiency of the new Intel Xeon® processor 5500 series now, as vendors such as Fujitsu Siemens Computers have the technology ready to make it available immediately.”
The new PRIMERGY Dual Socket S5 servers are available to order immediately. Shipping date outside EMEA may vary.
