OAKLAND, Calif., April 9, 2008 — A Fujitsu Siemens server has broken the record for server energy efficiency by surpassing the 1,000 operations per watt.

The Primergy TX150 S6 server was tested in accordance with Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) standards. SPEC developed the benchmark for energy-efficient industry-standard servers that the Fujitsu Siemens server was tested with.

Previous to the Primergy TX150 S6 server, which clocked in at 1018 operations per watt, the highest energy efficiency score was 910 operations per watt.

Check out this great article talking about performance per watt, in this case it’s talking about Fujitsu’s Primergy server. Deploying the appropriate server or blade for the appropriate role can be more energy efficient whilst providing the level of performance or functionality that’s required for the end user. The file server might not need the most powerful processor to fulfill it’s role to the end user.
