Hanover/Germany, March 18, 2004 —CeBIT started today with Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the
leading European IT company, unveiling an entirely new look under
the theme “Responsibility in the Information Age”. To

mid-sized companies (SMEs) and private customers.
Main stand: Enterprise solutions
The scenarios on display highlight Fujitsu Siemens Computers

two strategic themes: Mobility and Business Critical Computing
(BCC). These solutions, based on client, server, storage and
middleware products from the us and our partners, encompass all
areas of IT infrastructure, from mobile access to the data and
applications all the way through to the data center. According to
our brand promise ‘We make sure’ Fujitsu Siemens
Computers makes sure all these building blocks work together
seamlessly.

Product announcements
Enterprise products
PRIMERGY servers
Fujitsu Siemens Computers will present its new Intel-based
PRIMERGY BX 600 blade servers for the first time at CeBIT. Designed
for mid-tier applications like FlexFrameTM for mySAPTM Business
Suite, these servers are able to significantly raise efficiency in
data centers. Equipped with 10 dual Intel® Xeon™ -based
blades in a chassis comprising seven height units, they ensure
flexible scalability as well as low operating costs.
New Intel Xeon multiprocessor technology for PRIMERGY RX600
and TX600
Fujitsu Siemens Computers is set to directly boost
performance by up to 41 percent when it introduces new servers from
its PRIMERGY RX600 and TX600 ranges. The latest models will be
based on new Intel Xeon multiprocessor technology (MP), with clock
rates of up to 3 GHz, and can be equipped with as many as four
processors. The doubling of third level cache to 2 or 4 MB, as well
as the 400 MHz front side bus, guarantee higher performance
bandwidths perfectly suited to current and future requirements.
VXA-2 PacketLoader 1x10
Fujitsu Siemens Computers also shows at CeBIT the VXA-2
PacketLoader 1x10, a 1U rack-mountable automated backup and restore
product built with VXA Packet Technology and Exabyte’s
world-renowned robotics. The arrival of the newest autoloader
signals a breakthrough in price, performance and capacity for this
class of automation products. It is ultra-compact and ideal for
unattended backup.
“FlexFrame for mySAP Business Suite” Powered by
SAP NetWeaver
For Business Critical Computing environments, Fujitsu Siemens
Computers is offering FlexFrame™ for mySAP™ Business
Suite – an innovative IT infrastructure based on SAP’s
Adaptive Computing concept -, which is powered by SAP NetWeaver.
Key to the new concept is that hardware resources are kept
independent of the SAP applications, thus permitting efficient and
flexible management of the entire solution. The result is a
guarantee of consistent savings on TCO from the infrastructure
level on up. Also new to this context is the first-ever integration
of an Itanium IA64 server into the FlexFrame concept and the
FlexFrame demonstration on Fujitsu Siemens Computers’
Solaris/Sparc-based PRIMEPOWER servers.
PRIMEPOWER servers
Also on display at CeBIT are new models from the PRIMEPOWER
family with SPARC64 processors running at a 1.3 GHz clock rate. The
resulting 30 percent performance improvement and doubling of memory
capacity make these units especially attractive for use in
applications in business critical computing environments.
Clients
STYLISTIC tablet PC
The STYLISTIC ST5010 has a 12.1-inch display and weighs only
1.54 kg. Internet connections are taken care of by Intel
Centrino™ mobile technology via integrated 54 Mbit/s wireless
LAN. One particularly attractive feature for mobile users is the
additional battery, which allows them to use the tablet PC on the
move for an entire working day (up to eight hours). Another novelty
being premiered at CeBIT is a new tablet PC version with outdoor
display.
LIFEBOOK S Series professional notebook
The new LIFEBOOK S7010, to be presented to the general public
for the first time at CeBIT, has a larger display than its
predecessor (14-inch instead of 13-inch), although both weight
(only 1.77 kg) and dimensions remain virtually unchanged. This
notebook, ideal for professional users, comes with a modular bay
and with an optional port replicator, also to be employed in the
coming generation of high-end LIFEBOOK E notebooks. The ability to
exchange components offers a range of practical advantages,
allowing users, for example, to swap accessories while en-route.
FUTRO B200 Thin client
Another novelty being displayed at CeBIT is the FUTRO family
of thin clients. When used in conjunction with special terminal
services, they can lead to a substantial reduction in total cost of
ownership. The FUTRO B200 is significantly more powerful than its
forerunner, the FUTRO B100, and comes in a greater number of
configurations. Additionally, Windows XP Embedded is now also
available alongside the eLux NG Linux operating system.
Consumer
AMILO notebooks for private users
A number of new models will be presented, from an entry-level
notebook with an AMD processor and enticing €999 price tag,
to systems with Intel Centrino Mobile Technology. Multimedia
notebooks with widescreen displays and powerful Radeon 9700
graphics will also be on display.
SCALEO consumer PCs
In the consumer desktop sector, the spotlight will fall on
two new models: the SCALEO C, an elegantly designed multimedia PC
for the living room, and the extremely quiet SCALEO T green PC,
featuring lead-reduced mainboards and a housing made of recyclable
material. The latter will be available from retail outlets in May
2004.
ACTIVY Media Center
In their joint efforts to get a foothold in a new market
where the Internet and interactive television merge into one,
T-Online and Fujitsu Siemens Computers will be using CeBIT as a
launch pad for T-Online Vision and the ACTIVY Media Center. Among
the innovations presented for the first time will be the
video-on-demand service from T-Online.

As one Germany’s largest suppliers of monitors, Fujitsu
Siemens Computers is now offering its MYRICA series LCD flat screen
TV display for the home cinema, offering flicker-free playback in a
16:9 widescreen format.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers has rounded out its digitally
networked home offerings to include a digital camera. This
