Fujitsu’s PRIMERGY TX100 S1 offers SMEs comprehensive server hardware to boost operational and cost efficiency

Singapore, July 08, 2009 — Leading regional IT services and solutions provider, Fujitsu Asia today announces the PRIMERGY TX100 S1, the successor of the Econel 100 S2. The TX100 S1 is the most affordable PRIMERGY server yet, perfect 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 centralising 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.

Motohiko Uno, Head of the Platform Business Group, Fujitsu Asia, 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, Fujitsu helps customers increase operational efficiency, system reliability and data security while being eco-friendly.”

The PRIMERGY TX100 S1 is available for the ASEAN (including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam) markets with immediate effect. Visit http://sg.fujitsu.com or call 6512-7555 for more details.
