1 Fujitsu Server PRIMERGY Systems The only credible choice by Intel Xeon Processors.

2 The new role of information and communication technology The rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT) greatly influences the way we live and work. The world is now linked by networks through which almost everyone has access to information at anytime and from anywhere. This continuous development of global networking towards an Internet of Things has significant implications for IT organisations. Infrastructure must be designed that is scalable and adaptable to meet demand for ever-increasing volumes of data. According to the latest studies, the amount of data being transported through worldwide computer networks will quadruple to 1.3 zettabytes by At the same time, IT complexity is on the increase. New server technologies and form factors (blades and skinless servers, for example) permit a higher degree of centralisation but they also pose enormous challenges regarding energy supplies and cooling. The expenditure for IT administration is also increasing. The result is that many IT departments are grappling with the need to balance cost-effectiveness with increasing demand for services. Perhaps most importantly of all, the server market is volatile. With some server vendors there is a risk that they could exit the market, leaving customers with no long-term product support. Others are driving down price at the expense of quality or innovation. by Intel Xeon Processors.

3 Fujitsu PRIMERGY Servers The industry s most comprehensive portfolio by Intel Xeon Processors. Fujitsu PRIMERGY Server Portfolio Selecting the right server When business requirements change rapidly, organisations need to be able to rely on an IT infrastructure that will guarantee maximum productivity, cost efficiency and agility.

4 Proven quality IT is frequently the heart of many business and production procedures. Any IT faults often have an immediate effect on productivity levels. The availability of IT thus has top priority. This also applies when developing new Fujitsu PRIMERGY systems. As a guarantee of quality, Fujitsu technology combines Japanese innovation and German engineering with a service that is tailor-made in the UK. The Fujitsu factory in Augsburg is recognised as the state-of-the-art IT systems factory in Europe, drawing on approximately 20 years of development and production know-how. The results are robust PRIMERGY servers with an extremely low annual failure rate way below the market average. These low levels match those of high-end UNIX systems meaning the datacentre can expect lower costs due to less unplanned downtime or IT support. Each PRIMERGY system is subjected to stringent and comprehensive quality assurance measures during the development phase. This includes electromagnetic and climate technology tests aimed at ensuring availability even in the most difficult of conditions. What do our customers say about the quality and reliability of PRIMERGY servers?

5 Excellent price/performance ratio by Intel Xeon Processors. In addition to high availability levels, top-class IT performance is also reflected in an organisation s levels of efficiency and productivity. Fujitsu starts to optimise its PRIMERGY systems as early as the development phase using comprehensive quality assurance processes that ensure that an organisation can rely on its IT at all times, even during peak workloads. Comprehensive benchmarking provides the basis for continuous optimisation, especially after the launch of a new server system. In this space, Fujitsu often sets a new world record whenever a benchmark is run. PRIMERGY servers have always been at the top in the rankings for database and ERP benchmarks, such as SAP SD or TPC-E, offering Fujitsu customers much shorter latency times and fast transactions. Fujitsu has set new standards in energy efficiency in recent years, making an important contribution to the continual reduction of energy and cooling costs. Fujitsu had nine systems in the top 10 most energy-efficient servers in 2012, providing up to 20% more performance per watt than comparable systems from other providers. Fujitsu has been optimising its PRIMERGY servers for virtualisation and cloud environments over several generations. This can also be seen in the VMmark history where PRIMERGY servers have dominated the various categories since the middle of PRIMERGY servers are currently top in six of the nine total cores categories.

Quality Increased IT reliability Save on IT costs Better availability with proven quality from Germany 12 Efficiency Cut operational cost and complexity into half Highest efficiency to save money in a data center Fujitsu understand that delivering quality servers begins with exceptional server design and the ability to control operating temperature for solution longevity. Low temperature rates are achieved through intelligent BoardLayout fitting to cooling systems, which utilise controlled air flow through designed air channels, also known as our patented Fujitsu Cool-safe technology - a best-in-class cooling technology that prevents the system overheating by keeping cool air coming in and moving hot air out. Cool-safe airflow design principles are further enhanced by Fujitsu s Honeycomb design, running across the complete PRIMERGY family which enables 40% improved ventilation. Our further development of the Cool-safe technology, called Cool-safe Advanced Thermal Design enables ambient temperatures of up to 40 C which leads to additional savings on energy costs for cooling of up to 27 %. PRIMERGY - key features: Cool-safe airflow channels conduct air to where it is needed most Honeycomb design offers a 40% improvement in ventilation throughput EPA-compliant power supplies bring up to 96% efficiency ServerView power management enables active power limitation and budgeting Agility Turn your IT faster into a business advantage More agility in daily operations to turn the IT faster into a business advantage by Intel Xeon Processors.
