Fujitsu Introduces New Ultra-compact PRIMERGY Server

Tokyo, December 19, 2001--- Fujitsu today introduced a special purpose rack-optimized Intel-based server, called PRIMERGY L100, that provides one of the world's smallest server footprints. The 1U^*1 rack or desktop stackable entry-level server has a depth of only 36.5cm. The model goes on sale worldwide today.

PRIMERGY L100 is another example of how Fujitsu is meeting the needs of the broadband age. This compact flexible server adds an economical entry-level capability to its line-up of adaptive rack-optimized server modules. PRIMERGY servers not only meet the high reliability expectations of Internet Data Center and enterprise customers, but also reduce the overall cost of ownership through economical space saving configurations.

The stackable PRIMERGY L100 makes it possible to build in-store or in-office "file and print stations" having the same footprint as a single desktop PC. Such stations can drive a selection of printing devices while offering inexpensive file storage through use of lower cost 80GB EIDE disk drives in standard SCSI or mirrored disk configurations. In the data center PRIMERGY L100 is targeted at dedicated infrastructure solutions, including gateways, firewalls, security and dedicated hosting services.

PRIMERGY L100 aims to maximize price/performance in the smallest and most efficient space. At only 36.5cm deep and maximum 9kg in weight, it is about 40% smaller and 25% lighter than previous models. Its 43.2mm height is also thinner than a single rack height unit, making it easy to insert and remove from a rack or used on the desktop (stacked up to 3 high). Built for use with Windows 2000 Server and Linux, it also supports IDE hard-disk technology (RAID 1) for disk mirroring directly off the motherboard, and two onboard Adapter Fault Tolerant (AFT) LAN ports support the IDC encoding of IPsec with Windows 2000 Server. Fujitsu's ServerView management software ensures reliable operation especially when used for expansion of Internet systems as a very affordable front-end processor. Both 900MHz Intel^® Celeron^TM processor and 1.2GHz Intel^® Pentium^®III processor models are available. Both have standard memory of 128MB (expandable to 1.5GB) and can be installed with up to two 80GB IDE disks.
