Primergy TX150 S6 Server Sets World Record for Energy Efficiency

Xeon-based Linux and Windows server launched for ASEAN with immediate effect

Kuala Lumpur, 23 May, 2008- Leading IT and communications solutions provider Fujitsu Malaysia today released the Primergy TX150 S6 Linux and Windows tower server, which recently set a new world record for energy efficiency.

In an official SPECpower_ssj2008 benchmarking test* held in Germany last month, the Primergy TX150 S6 delivered the SPECpower_ssj2008 result of 1018 operations per Watt. In comparison, no other commercially available server has hitherto attained a score higher than 910 operations per Watt on the same test. The test score indicates that the Primergy TX150 S6 offers vastly superior performance over other commercially available machines with similar specifications from competing vendors.

The SPECpower_ssj2008 test is the first industry-standard benchmark to evaluate the power and performance characteristics of server-class computers, and was developed by the US-based Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (www.spec.org).

“Breaking through the 1000 operations per Watt barrier is testament to the superior design of the Primergy TX150 S6 server. Although the product incorporates the same industry-standard components as servers from competing vendors, the test result show that the Primergy range delivers maximum performance for the lowest-possible energy consumption,” said Mr Motohiko Uno who heads the Regional Marketing Group at Fujitsu Asia. “In addition, last month Fujitsu and Fujitsu Siemens Computers jointly recorded the highest year-on-year growth rate among the top five x86 server vendors globally. This illustrates that customers are increasingly aware that Primergy servers offer tremendous benefits and value to their businesses,” he added.

Released for the ASEAN (including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam) with immediate effect, the Primergy TX150 S6 is a one-way server engineered with components including:
a quad-core Intel Xeon X3360 processor
up to 8GB of random access memory
a 500GB Serial Advanced Technology Attachment hard disk drive with a spindle speed of 7200 revolutions per minute
