FUJITSU INTRODUCES NEXT GENERATION
FLAGSHIP PRIMERGY SERVER FOR
BUSINESS CRITICAL COMPUTING
Fujitsu’s next generation
flagship Primergy rack
optimised server is an enabler
for digital transformation,
providing superior
performance and reliability for
business critical back end data centre services.
The third generation Primergy RX4770 M31, a four socket x86 server,
delivers an impressive performance boost thanks to the inclusion of the Intel
Xeon processor E7 v4 product family and super-fast memory.
The rackable PrimergY RX4770 M3 is optimised to run any organisation’s
most demanding, business critical tasks. It is ideally suited to complex, data
intensive workloads such as in-memory databases including SAP HANA
and system intensive tasks such as real time business analytics. In the next
generation Primergy model, robustness is maximised via enhanced business
critical reliability, availability and security features and further progress in both
system consolidation and manageability has been realised.
Reduced power consumption and greater system density mean that the
Primergy RX4770 M3 is ideally suited for sever consolidation projects. For
example, two new Primergy RX servers can replace five equivalent systems
from 2011, reducing physical space requirements by 60 per cent. Simplified
remote capabilities are also part of the new Primergy server, enabling
extensive server monitoring and management regardless of system status –
even including decentralised locations.

IT INFRASTRUCTURE
IBM expands flash
storage solutions
IBM has announced an expansion of its flash storage
portfolio to help clients more quickly extract value from
data so it can be turned into competitive advantage.
IBM launched three new all-flash array
products incorporating a minimum latency of 250ìs
(microsecond) – to solve the challenge of accessing
the massive amounts of data quickly for cloud based
applications and workloads.
Consumers today are demanding cloud based
applications that are fast, easy and intelligent.
Sub-second response times are critical when data
is retrieved from the cloud to deliver a unique,
personalised and positive customer experience. IBM
MicroLatency technology transfers data within the
flash array via hardware instead of the added layer
of software.
Also built into the solutions are features designed
to solve cloud requirements such as quality-of-service
(QoS) to prevent the impact ‘noisy neighbour’ problems
have on application performance, secure multi-tenancy,
thresholding, and easy-to-deploy grid scale out.
All-flash solutions announced complement IBM’s
existing all-flash portfolio including FlashSystem 900 and
V9000 that also leverage IBM’s FlashCore technology.
