Fujitsu launches four-socket Primergy server

BANGALORE, INDIA: Fujitsu launches its new Primergy RX500 S7 four-socket server meant for consolidation and virtualization projects.

The server can be upgraded from a dual-socket server to a quad-socket solution whenever required. By starting with a dual processor configuration, the rack server Primergy RX500 S7 can scale up to four processors and thus double its memory up to 1536 GB and expand the available PCIe Gen3 slots to 11 inside the same chassis - without changing the server and rack infrastructure, says a release.

“Nowadays, customers need top price/performance and flexibility in their IT infrastructure to meet impending future solution demand and to grow successfully. With the Primergy RX500 S7, we are delivering a highly energy-efficient and scalable four-socket server with new cost effectiveness. We are providing our customers with an excellent, economical solution that can be expanded to meet tomorrow’s requirements,” commented Jens-Peter Seick, senior vice president, Product Development Group, Fujitsu Technology Solutions.

The dual-socket configuration features two Intel Xeon processors from the E5 product family, 24 DIMMs and 768 GB memory. Scaling up to a four-socket server provides four Intel Xeon processors, 48 DIMMs and 1536 GB memory.

The Primergy RX500 S7 is available in CEMEA & I (India).
