Fujitsu, a leading multinational IT equipment and services company, has introduced the new entry-level Primergy TX1320 M3 server, which is smaller than previous versions.

The ultra-compact tower server model is more powerful than ever, and yet is quiet in operation and small enough to fit on a desktop or a bookshelf, said a statement from the company.

Fujitsu has upgraded both tower and rack models in the fully refreshed single socket Primergy server range to provide more performance, adding the latest Intel Xeon processor E3 product family and introducing a wider choice of configuration options to boost flexibility.

With the Primergy line-up, Fujitsu provides a choice of versatile building blocks, able to keep pace with ever-evolving user demands for more throughput and performance from departmental servers.

One of four new models, the Fujitsu Primergy TX1320 M3 crams a full server system into an ultra-compact unit. With a chassis volume of just 13.3 litres, it is one of the smallest full-fledged servers available on the market today. Yet thanks to an operating volume of just 18 dB(A), the Primergy TX1320 M3 is also a desktop- or bookshelf-friendly addition to any office.

Across the revitalised Primergy mono-socket system line-up, new generation servers provide more performance and bandwidth, making them a prime choice for a selection of use cases including running office and email applications, for telephony, as a web server, or in extending and updating existing server farms.

For businesses taking a step up to a server from a PC to power their digital business, the server provides simple administration and high energy efficiency.

All three Primergy tower servers – the TX1310 M3, TX1320 M3 and TX1330 M3 – plus the Primergy RX1330 M3 rack server maximise the technology features of the latest Intel Xeon processor E3 product family, Core i3, Pentium and Celeron processors, and provide capacities of up to 64GB of super-fast DDR4 memory.

The refreshed model range is ideal for essential workloads in small and medium-sized enterprises, and a cornerstone for digital business in a wide range of sectors, including pharmacies, restaurants and travel agencies. For growing organizations, Fujitsu offers mounting kits that allow tower servers to be incorporated into server racks.

Two models are focused on providing the performance from a single-socket server: The PRIMERGY TX1320 M3 set a new world record score of 74.6 in terms of processor performance for Xeon E3-powered systems, in the industry benchmark test SPECint20061.

Meanwhile, the versatile rack-mounted RX1330 M3 sets standards with best-in-class performance, holding records in several benchmark categories, including a score of 271 in the SPECint_rate20062 benchmark test.

Olivier Delachapelle, head of enterprise business, category management Data Center at Fujitsu, in Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa (EMEIA), said: “The new generation of power-packed Primergy models make the latest server technology available and affordable to small and medium-size enterprises.”

“These servers can grow with business demands, providing the latest in processors and memory, plus secure storage. Rock solid performance combined with lower operating costs are hallmarks of our brand,” he said.

“With every new generation, we improve efficiency and reduce power use, thanks to newer processors and advances in power supply design, in combination with Fujitsu Cool-safe Advanced Thermal Design. This optimises system cooling and reduces operating noise, making Primergy a great choice for any business,” he added.
