Fujitsu Announces the PRIMERGY BX900 Server System

Fujitsu has just announced a new product that has been specifically designed to expand the company's program for x86 servers and also provide customers with a choice for a high-performance solution, leveraging the newly-released Intel Xeon 5500 series of processors, built on the new Nehalem architecture. The new product is dubbed Dynamic Cube, Fujitsu's next-generation PRIMERGY BX900 blade server system. Built on four main principles, the new BX900 PRIMERGY BX900 server system is said to provide professionals and IT administrators with a complete dynamic server infrastructure, designed in a single cube, consequently reducing the costs.

“The four guiding principles of the PRIMERGY BX900 design ensure that it meets the needs of data center operations where achieving cost savings and increasing IT systems’ agility are immediate concerns,” said Jens-Peter Seick, senior vice-president, x86 Server Product Division at Fujitsu Technology Solutions.

The four principles upon which Fujitsu's new PRIMERGY BX900 has been built are: dynamic power and cooling, dynamic virtualization, dynamic high availability and dynamic scalability. Basically, these principles are a set of design rules that Fujitsu has followed in order to provide customers with the best-in-class server solution.

Fujitsu's Dynamic Cube is designed to provide reduced energy consumption, operating at high levels of power efficiency. The Cube integrates the company's new cooling and design concept, dubbed Cool-safe, which is said to deliver a reduction of the server's energy costs. Featuring the performance delivered by Intel's latest Xeon 5500 series of processors, the new PRIMERGY BX900 can support a large memory capacity and delivers support for virtualization applications. In addition, the use of Intel technology has enabled Fujitsu to provide customers with a higher-performance and more reliable server solution.

Built using the knowledge of German and Japanese engineers, the PRIMERGY BX900 is expected to begin shipping later this month, on May 21.
