Fujitsu today announced the launch of Cloud eXtension server, PRIMERGY CX1000, with optimized scale-out capability for cloud environments.
The new server is designed to optimize the operating cost drivers of power, heat and space, claiming to deliver as much computing power as possible per square meter, at the lowest-possible price.
CX1000 packs 38 server nodes into a rack to provide minimum savings of 20 percent in power and cooling, in comparison to a standard rack server assembly.
“Cloud computing demands have caught datacenter operators in a vicious circle of performance and cost. With the PRIMERGY CX1000 we’re introducing a solution that goes beyond the scale-out performance envelope of rack servers – without blowing budgets – which is especially compelling in Cloud computing environments”, commented Richard Sutherland, Portfolio Manager, Dynamic Infrastructures at Fujitsu Technology Solutions.
The PRIMERGY CX1000 system features the new generation Intel Xeon processor 5600 series and an internal chimney that funnels hot air through the top of the standard-size rack to allow racks to be placed back-to-back, resulting in floor-space savings of up to 40% and significant carbon reductions for datacenter operators.
Fujitsu Technology Solutions is one of the leading IT infrastructure providers with a presence in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India.
