Fujitsu has launched the Primergy RX500 S7 server, which claims to guarantee a high protection of investment by combining economic scalability and four-socket performance with the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of a dual-socket server. It can be upgraded from a dual-socket server to a quad-socket solution whenever required.
The Primergy RX500 S7 offers a highly energy-efficient, cost-saving profile, due to its components in common with the Primergy dual-socket S7 generation, simplified power management, and 94 per cent efficient power-supply units.
With its modular design, the new server is created to meet the consolidation and expansion needs of growing IT environments. By starting with a dual processor configuration, the rack server can easily and more economically scale up to four processors whenever necessary and therefore double its memory up to 1536 GB and expand the available PCIe Gen3 slots to 11 inside the same chassis - without changing the server and rack infrastructure.
Nowadays, customers need top price/performance and flexibility in their IT infrastructure to meet impending future solution demand and to grow successfully. With the Primergy RX500 S7, we are delivering a highly energy-efficient and scalable four-socket server with new cost effectiveness. We are providing our customers with an excellent, economical solution that can be expanded to meet tomorrows requirements, said Jens-Peter Seick, Senior Vice President, Product Development Group at Fujitsu Technology Solutions.
By running more workloads on fewer servers, companies can cut costs for energy, server management and IT infrastructure. For instance, they can save on rack space, cooling, cabling and staffing requirements. A few big servers are easier to manage and more cost effective than running many smaller ones. In addition, companies can make better use of host-based application and software licenses simply by consolidating the number of hosts.
