Fujitsu, the leading provider of IT products and services, has launched three new server blades for its flagship Primergy BX900 ‘dynamic cube’ x86 blade system.

The new additions, including a quad-socket blade, all combine the efficient hardware, service offerings and solutions of Fujitsu Dynamic Infrastructures with the latest Intel Xeon processor technology, a statement said.

The new four-socket Primergy BX960 S1 will further extend the suitability of the blade system for resource-hungry processing and applications while the second-generation Primergy BX920 S2 has been launched for disk-intensive operations.

Introduced to maximise customer choice and ensure guaranteed flexibility for changing IT requirements, the technology upgrades underline and further expand the diverse range of configuration options for the Primergy BX900 dynamic cube blade system, the statement said.

Driving the computing performance and speed of connectivity of Fujitsu’s new quad-socket server blade is an innovative ‘glueless’ design, where a single system board is manufactured with all the necessary components for all four CPUs, therefore providing the shortest route between processors, memory modules and I/O hubs.

“To ensure flexibility and investment protection for our customers, we continually expand our offering of server blades for the Primergy BX900,” said Chandan Mehta, product manager, Fujitsu Technology Solutions.

“Now with the availability of dual- and quad-socket blades, in combination with high capacities of configurable memory and I/O enhancements by providing 10-Gbit Ethernet on board, the dynamic cube offers end-to-end reliable, balanced performance, enabling optimal virtual machine deployment without bottlenecks,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
