Fujitsu Siemens Computers PRIMERGY Server: Swifter, Smarter,
Stronger
German-Japanese Servers based on Intel’s
Quad-Processors are front runners in the footrace of industry
standard servers
Munich, November 14, 2006 —Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the leading European IT provider,
today announced the introduction of five new PRIMERGY server
models: the tower models TX200 and TX300 S3, the rack-based models
RX200 and RX300 S3 as well as the blade servers BX620 S3. All new
form factors run on the new Intel Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
processors E5310 and E5320, codename “Clovertown”, -
that is also unveiled by Intel today -, and take advantage of the
almost doubled performance per watt compared to the latest
generation of Intel Dual-Core processors. All described server
models support the three available Intel Xeon series processors of
the 5300 sequence offering the widest range of performance choice
for all customer demands in the typical application scenarios. The
new models are now available throughout the EMEA region.
With the best performance per watt users get more computing
power from less servers and so reducing the waste heat and power
consumption in the data centers which will lead to direct cost
savings in the IT infrastructure. The embedded virtualization
technology of the Intel Xeon processors delivers optimized support
of virtual machines such as VMware and Xen and make the PRIMERGY
servers an ideal choice for consolidation in the data centers.
“Intel® processors are known for their excellent
performance, reliability and compatibility. That's why Fujitsu
Siemens Computers and Intel are cooperating closely together since
many years. Fujitsu Siemens Computers was involved in the
development of the Bensley platform, which is the basis for the
Xeon processors, from the beginning, therefore we had the chance to
tune our PRIMERGY S3 server generation to an optimum”,
comments Jens-Peter Seick, Vice President Enterprise Server
Business. “Intel's new processor generation is combining
superb performance with superior power efficiency and reliability.
This is another enhancement to our enterprise product portfolio
tuned to meet customers' toughest demands while delivering
maximum value.”
“Intel has made this next step in the computer’s
ongoing evolution as fast and easy as possible through continued
investment in silicon process and manufacturing technology,
innovative and tailored product design, and a myriad of software
developer tools and programs. This ensures immediate benefits for
our customers”, said Christian Morales, Vice President, Sales
and Marketing Group Europe, Middle East, Africa, Intel. “We
are overly excited about the fruits of the cooperation with Fujitsu
Siemens Computers. Fujitsu Siemens Computers didn’t just
present a range of new Server Systems based on the new Intel Xeon
Processor, but their PRIMERGY TX300 S3 server delivered
record-breaking web server performance.”
The processor update with new Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5300
series processors pave the way to the next level of performance per
watt in PRIMERGY Rack, Tower and Blade servers. With only 80 watts
of power consumption per processor socket combined with four cores
highest performance the computing needs of sophisticated data
center applications as well as of standard appplication scenarios
will be best supported. Together with 8 Mbyte second level cache
(2x 4 MB) and the up to 1333 MHz bandwidth front side bus a real
performance boost of more than 30 % (TPCC) can be expected,
compared to latest Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors 5100
series.
