Fujitsu and the CX122 S1 for cloud and HPC environments
Fujitsu today introduces globally the PRIMERGY CX122 S1, the first new addition to its portfolio of dual-socket cloud server nodes for the PRIMERGY CX1000 Cloud eXtension Server, the platform for cloud computing, high performance computing (HPC) and large scale-out computing server farms. In addition, Fujitsu launches its new PRIMERGY CX1000 Efficiency Assessment Service, an optimization service exploiting simulation software to deliver valuable qualitative information . The new service is initially available in Central Europe, Middle East, Africa and India.
The PRIMERGY CX122 S1 is designed for optimum versatility, to meet the challenging customer requirements placed on cloud server nodes, while matching a broad range of server profiles and enabling more advanced workload scenarios. In doing so, the new server node offers cost savings, energy efficiency, compute density and saved space, all achieved by using the Cool-Centralâ„¢ architecture from the PRIMERGY CX1000 as an innovative x86 server platform with horizontal scaling for large companies and their cloud, hosting or HPC strategies for data centers.
Several vendors have been adapting systems and releasing new systems or solutions with the cloud space in mind, crucial factors being scalability, ease of system management and energy efficiency, and it’s interesting to see Fujitsu bring their offering to market, I wonder if these systems might also meet existing requirements in the general server space, an extension of the midrange scalable platform? We’ll have to see, I’m off to read up more.
