New Fujitsu PRIMERGY Models Extend Business Flexibility for the Broadband Era

Tokyo, October 18, 2001--- Fujitsu Limited announced today the introduction of new Intel^(R) architecture-based PRIMERGY servers with extended features for data center and broadband processing requirements, where high-end power and service flexibility have become essential. The new enhancements, which include faster processors, GigaLAN copper networking technology, and dramatically increased internal disk and cache memory capacity, further consolidate PRIMERGY's position as the ideal enterprise-class vehicle for web- based streaming, secure retailing, database access and other broadband Internet-delivered computing tasks.

[New Product Highlights]

The new PRIMERGY offerings include:

• New data center and application engine models using 900MHz Intel Pentium^(R) III Xeon^(TM) processors,
• 1.26GHz-S Intel Pentium III processor models for 2-way in-office or rack mounted enterprise servers, and
• 1.13GHz-S Intel Pentium III processor models for use in delivering shared hosting services to larger populations of web-users.

Web hosting thin servers:
Shipping mid-November, PRIMERGY TS225 two-way capable 1U rack mounted servers will come with up to two 1.13GHz-S processors with 512KB cache inside, and provide improved, incremental and cost-effective flexibility for managing Internet traffic increases and web-hosting demands.

Popular two-way servers:
Also shipping from mid-November, new PRIMERGY ES320 two-way capable, general purpose, in-office or rack, enterprise servers will scale to 1.26GHz, and from mid-December double internal disk capacity from 182GB to 364GB, making them a lower cost alternative for larger database applications.

Data center computing:
Also in November, at the high-end of the range, PRIMERGY N400 and N800 rack-optimized 4- and 8-way Intel Pentium III Xeon processor- based data center servers will provide 900MHz with 2MB cache, as well as 700Mhz, 1 or 2MB cache options. These enhancements will allow mission-critical database applications to better manage increased transaction traffic arising from increased Internet and broadband use. Multi-purpose PRIMERGY MS610 4-way severs will also move to 900MHz processors, feature GigaLAN access and, for improved high-availability and throughput, new high-end RAID capability.
