Tokyo, October 30, 2000 - Fujitsu Limited announced today major enhancements to their PRIMERGY server range to support Internet growth and Web-related commerce. New classes of net-appliance platforms and net-application servers are being introduced, as is a power boost to 1GHz IntelRPentiumRIII processors for multi-purpose small business servers.
First come PRIMERGY TS120/220 one and two processor ultra-thin net-appliance platforms. These 1U mass rackable servers are designed for Internet appliance usage, dedicated hosting services and "all-in-one-rack" mini data center systems. PRIMERGY TS120/220 were designed as total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction vehicles by leveraging PXE remote installation, remote console and remote hardware reset and reboot, all of which are supported without the need for additional plug-in cards. Both servers offer enhanced Net connectivity through dual on-board LAN port connections.
The new PRIMERGY ES320 multi-purpose net-application platform has both office floor-standing models and compact 4U rack nodes for the data center. Supporting up to two 1BGHz IntelR PentiumR III processors and they are self-contained application engines providing up to five 36GB internal disks, Ultra160 SCSI onboard, with the latest in Intelligent Management Panel server support and Fast Reliable Diagnosis for maximum reliability and availability.
For customers who still need small servers in the office, the free-standing PRIMERGY ES200 range of net-application server platforms now also scales to 1GHz offering even greater value and performance for day-to-day office tasks.
"As we continue to offer more powerful server options it's important that we also remain focused on the varied and changing requirements of our customers," said Mr. Tatsushi Miyazawa, senior vice president and group president Computer Systems Group, Fujitsu Limited. "The use of servers is changing, they are performing many new and extended roles. Data Center managers are also discovering that in revised form factors server platforms can improve total cost of ownership as they replace previous more propriety processors and network devices."
The new TS120/220 ultra thin servers also begin a change of color for the PRIMERGY range. They, like models to be introduced later in the year, have a black casing. As a result new matching 24U and 40U black racks are being introduced to coordinate the racking appearance of these products in the data center.
