Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation has announced the introduction of new PRIMERGY 4-socket S3 generation server models: the RX600 S3 rack-optimized server and the TX600 S3 tower. Based on the new Dual-Core 64-bit Intel® Xeon® MP 7100 Series processors (codename Tulsa) announced in August, the models set a new world records for the SPECjbb 2005 industry standard benchmark. This new performance world record adds to the accolades already held by other servers in the PRIMERGY range – with the PRIMERGY BX620 S3 blade server already holding the top two Microsoft Exchange MMB3 benchmark scores. 

The new servers deliver up to double the performance of previous models, and are based on the new Intel® Truland MP (multiprocessor) platform featuring Dual-Core Xeon MP 7100 Series 64-bit processors. Four new processor models are offered, with clock speeds from 2.6GHz through 3.4GHz, and three cache sizes. There are also new energy-efficient 95-watt versions of the MP7110 and MP7120 processors, which deliver improved processing performance per watt of electricity, an increasingly important benchmark for enterprise data centers. The new models easily meet the demands of enterprise customers who need powerful platforms for server consolidation and virtualization projects. With each unit housing up to four Dual-Core processors, the new RX600 S3 and TX600 S3 models are optimized for compute-intensive back-end data center services such as databases and ecommerce applications, where space and performance are both at a premium. And thanks to up to 16MB of third-level (L3) cache available on some models, and VT capabilities built into these new processors, the new PRIMERGY models deliver significant gains in transaction processing, especially when dealing with multithreaded or heavy multitasking workloads.  Extensive high availability features combined with the additional security of Intel’s built-in Cache Safe Technology make the PRIMERGY RX600 S3 and TX600 S3 platforms you can rely on. 

The new models are available now.  For more information about the new PRIMERGY RX600 servers, click here.
