SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/16/10 -- Fujitsu (http://solutions.us.fujitsu.com) today announced in North America that the PRIMERGY^® TX150 S7 all-round mono socket server, the most energy-efficient server in its class, set a new SPECpower^® ssj2008 world record and achieved ENERGY STAR^® 1.0 family certification. In line with benchmark testing guidelines established by the independent Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC), the ground-breaking energy consumption result reflects how Fujitsu continues to strengthen a cornerstone of its Dynamic Infrastructure Portfolio with PRIMERGY servers that deliver new levels of performance, innovation and efficiency.

The recently launched PRIMERGY TX150 S7 tower and rack-mountable PRIMERGY RX100 S6 mono-socket servers -- which have also achieved ENERGY STAR 1.0 family certification -- are designed by Fujitsu as cost-optimized, all-purpose servers that provide high performance but also minimize environmental impact through advanced energy efficiency. The servers are ideal for small and mid-sized businesses, and for larger enterprises in non mission-critical infrastructures. Since servers comprise a major part of a data center's overall power consumption, deploying more energy-efficient machines can be a vital strategy for reducing total data center energy consumption and operating costs.

News Highlights

• Validating its eco-efficient architecture, the Fujitsu PRIMERGY TX150 S7 mono-socket tower server has set a new SPECpower ssj2008 best-in-class result of 2187 ssj_ops per single Watt of electricity. The SPECpower ssj2008 benchmark has been developed by SPEC to independently evaluate the power and performance characteristics of volume server-class computers.
• The new Fujitsu SPECpower best-in-class result for the PRIMERGY TX150 S7 pushes the limits for a mono-socket server further than ever, and demonstrates that the systems can be used for even more sophisticated purposes previously out-of-range for mono-socket machines, such as a virtualization host or database server.
• ENERGY STAR 1.0 family certification demonstrates that these PRIMERGY rack and tower models meet the stringent criteria set by the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), which established ENERGY STAR standards. PRIMERGY servers meet the requirements for enhanced overall energy efficiency through advanced, more energy-efficient power supply units (PSUs), integrated power consumption management, improved motherboard layouts, enhanced component selection and Fujitsu Cool-Safe^® design for airflow.
• ENERGY STAR 1.0 family certification provides Fujitsu partners with increased flexibility in offering their clients a larger variety of certified configurations, guaranteeing custom-built, energy-efficient systems to best fit client needs.
• PRIMERGY TX150 S7 tower and RX100 S6 rack servers with ENERGY STAR 1.0 configurations are available immediately.
• The availability of ENERGY STAR 1.0 models depends on regions and countries. Further information about the ENERGY STAR 1.0 program is available online at: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=ent_servers.enterprise_servers.
• Competitive benchmark results stated above reflect results published on www.spec.org as of February 2, 2010. The comparison presented above is based on the best performing 1-socket servers. For the latest SPECpower ssj2008 results, visit www.spec.org.
