Fujitsu’s PRIMERGY Servers Support New Windows Server® 2008 R2
Kuala Lumpur, 1st October 2009 — Fujitsu today announced that PRIMERGY servers support the new Windows Server 2008 R2. The new features in Windows
Server 2008 R2 perfectly support the strength of PRIMERGY servers and Fujitsu’s Dynamic Infrastructures portfolio.
Windows Server 2008 R2 expands existing technology and adds new features, which increase the reliability and flexibility of
customers’ IT infrastructures. When combined with the PRIMERGY server, customers receive a valuable and efficient infrastructure
perfectly suited for virtualisation solutions with Live Migration and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. The new DirectAccess
function allows customers to access their corporate network wherever they are, without using any special VPN hardware or software.
In addition, BranchCache helps customers to improve and optimise network performance with caching corporate data downloads.
This supports Fujitsu’s Dynamic Infrastructures architecture approach.
Windows Server 2008 R2 in combination with PRIMERGY also helps customers save power and operating costs. Microsoft optimizes
the power management function and improves energy consumption. PRIMERGY servers are developed and designed for the highest
operational efficiency supported by our PRIMERGY ServerView Suite and Power Management. This enables customers to Take Cost
Out (new TCO) of their business processes and benefit from exceptional values for their critical business services.
In addition, Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation for PRIMERGY is now available, giving customers new options for a powerful
and affordable server platform. Small- and medium-sized businesses will find that this server platform offers a solid foundation
to run popular business applications and to share devices at a modest budget.
Mr Motohiko Uno, Head of Fujitsu Regional Platform Business, ASEAN, said: “Many IT organization want to base their platform strategy on industry standards without sacrificing reliability and flexibility.
Fujitsu’s x86 PRIMERGY servers are designed for virtualization and efficient IT operations. The new features of Windows Server
2008 R2 nicely support these design objectives and deliver in combination with PRIMERGY a powerful and efficient industry
standard architecture that reduces costs.”
