Fujitsu announced the release of its Primergy BX620 S4 blade server, which is designed to facilitate system expansion and reconfiguration while reducing the workload for systems administrators during server consolidation. The Primergy BX620 S4 is being offered in Japan starting immediately and will be gradually offered in other markets, noted the company.
Powered by Intel Xeon L5320 1.86GHz processors, the new server can accommodate up to ten industry-standard LAN ports, among the highest number in the industry, thereby simplifying network design during server consolidation. When the server is connected to a storage area network (SAN), Fujitsu's Systemwalker Resource Coordinator Virtual server Edition V13.2 can handle storage, thus enabling plug-and-play configuration changes without affecting the SAN environment.
Fujitsu's new server also improves utilization and availability while reducing running costs, electrical consumption, and administrative costs, enabling customers to realize significant reductions in total cost of ownership (TCO), according to Fujitsu.
Fujitsu's new blade server has expandable LAN ports that simplify network setup and is designed so that administrators can change server configuration without affecting the SAN environment. When combined with the company's own middleware, the Systemwalker Resource Coordinator Virtual server Edition V13.2, it provides the higher availability and more efficient utilization that is expected for server consolidation with blade servers, claims Fujitsu.
The Primergy BX620 S4 blade server has an optional 4Gbps Fibre Channel expansion board.
