New Fujitsu Primergy TX100 S1 Server

Fujitsu Technology Solutions announces the PRIMERGY TX100 S1, the successor of the Econel 100 S2. The TX100 S1 is the affordable PRIMERGY server, for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) that need an entry-level server to increase their operational efficiency, performance and security. Now SMEs can afford to move away from using a PC in combination with an external hard drive for storage and upgrade to a proper business class server.

 
For SMEs that may be risking their data and losing efficiency by using a PC as their server, the PRIMERGY TX100 S1 is a cost-effective and dependable server solution. For the price of a PC, the PRIMERGY TX100 S1 provides a reliable infrastructure with up to 4 TB of integrated storage, combined with the performance and data security of RAID 0/1. An optional tape drive for backup and archiving system enables customers to further increase data security and comply with governmental rules and regulations. With the PRIMERGY TX100 S1, companies can improve operational efficiency and performance by centralizing file storage, coordinating print jobs, supporting billing or purchasing applications, and supporting e-mail and Internet server applications.
 
In keeping with Fujitsu’s corporate responsibility guidelines, PRIMERGY TX100 S1 supports EPA guidelines and is compliant with ENERGY STAR 5.0, reducing operating costs and saving energy. In addition, due to careful engineering of the air flow, the server is also very silent in operation. This makes it perfect for small office spaces where employees may be working in close proximity to the server and need to avoid the noise pollution of a loud server system.
 
The PRIMERGY TX100 S1 is available with the new Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Foundation software. Windows Server 2008 Foundation provides a reliable framework for organizations to run most small business applications, and is an affordable platform for core IT capabilities, including file and print sharing, remote access and security features. A familiar Windows experience makes it easy for organizations to get up and running. As the heart of a true local area network, Windows Server Foundation lets employees exchange data very securely, without requiring e-mail or the Internet. Microsoft provides an easy upgrade path to higher-end versions of Windows Server, which allows customers’ IT solutions to grow as their business grows. Microsoft Windows Server Foundation is available in selected countries and languages*.
 
Jens-Peter Seick, Senior Vice President x86 Server Product Unit at Fujitsu Technology Solutions, says: “Many small enterprises today are using a standard PC as their server for cost reasons, believing that they can’t afford a server infrastructure system. However, PCs are not made for continuous operation and companies using this model risk losing their valuable data, along with facing reduced operational efficiency. With the new PRIMERGY TX100 S1, customers can now purchase a cost-efficient and reliable infrastructure that allows them to increase their operational efficiency.”
