| Fujitsu's PRIMERGY 8-Socket Blade Server Powerhouse Fujitsu Computer Systems has announced the PRIMERGY BX630 8-socket blade server powered by dual-core AMD Opteron processors, providing data-center administrators with maximum flexibility to scale up and scale out their infrastructures in a single chassis. Fujitsu is the first major vendor to deliver a standard-architecture 8-socket, dual-core blade server system, offering increased density and scalability with lower power and space requirements. The 8-socket PRIMERGY blade server enables all components of an enterprise infrastructure - from network edge devices to backend databases - to be housed in a single blade server chassis. Individual blades can then be upgraded to more powerful servers as needed. The result is greater data-center design flexibility and lower total cost of ownership. AMD Opteron-based PRIMERGY BX630 8-socket blade servers can be installed in the current PRIMERGY BX600 chassis and mixed with existing Intel Xeon based PRIMERGY BX620 S2 blade servers and PRIMERGY BX630 2-socket blade servers, enabling customers to select the best technology for specific businesses and applications. The AMD Opteron architecture features AMD's HyperTransport interconnect, which is a critical component in the PRIMERGY BX630 blade server's modular design. This interconnect makes it possible to link two PRIMERGY BX630 2-socket blades into a single 4-socket blade, and then link two of these 4-socket blade into a single PRIMERGY BX630 8-socket blade. Packed with dual-core AMD Opteron processors, the system becomes a 16-core powerhouse, giving customers the flexibility to move high-end applications and database processing to the PRIMERGY BX600 blade platform. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
