The PRIMERGY BX900 blade server enables timely and flexible configurations of IT platforms to keep pace with rapidly changing business environments, while reducing energy and operational costs. It is adaptable to cloud computing platforms as well.

The PRIMERGY BX900 blade server received high acclaim in the Product Awards category for PC/Server/Storage/Peripheral Devices, as an innovative platform for its 10Gbps serial transmission technology and energy saving design.

Access Management Solution (Simple Security Model)

The Simple Security Model solution enables users to access office computers without having to use special login authentication software by simply installing a personal identification device with user account information at the entrance to restricted facilities. Stronger security measures can also be implemented.

This low-cost and robust security solution is ideal for call centers and server rooms that operate multiple machines in one location.

The Simple Security Model received high praise in the Solution & Services category for Security Solutions due to its capability to meet the security needs of datacenters at a low cost.
