Fujitsu Siemens Computers takes 'greener' solutions to new levels

Just like its bigger brothers, the PRIMERGY TX120 offers full functionality in addition to low energy consumption, compact design, low noise levels and lower-than-standard levels of heat output.

"The TX-120 is our first step towards what we see as an increasing trend in demand for 'greener' products, which will grow in size in relevance to the rise in utility costs, as well as space costs," said Chandan Mehta, Product Marketing Manager, Enterprise Products, Fujitsu Siemens Computers.

"Our strategic focus and approach is underpinned by the view that social and environmental responsibility is very much compatible with improved business performance. As awareness grows, so too will demand for environmentally and socially responsible products."

"In a world dominated by digital technology, a reliable and accessible IT infrastructure is today required by companies of all sizes across almost all industries, including medical practices, law firms, architects' offices, insurance brokers, freelancers and small retail outlets - as well as branch offices of larger companies . The PRIMERGY TX120 is designed to meet the special needs of small businesses by providing applications, buffering data, storing backups and providing Internet/Intranet access," Mehta added.

There are three factors that make the TX120 unique in its class:
• Lower energy use. Running on highest configuration the TX120 consumes 40 per cent less energy than conventional tower servers. At full load, equipped with the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® UP processor, the maximum active power is 163 watt.
• Smaller size. The PRIMERGY TX120 is only one-third the size of standard tower servers. The compact housing measures just 99mm by 340mm by 399 mm (WxHxD).
• Lower noise levels. The TX120 is the quietest server in its class, with noise emissions 50 percent lower than standard tower servers - a factor that is particularly important for offices without a separate server room. The PRIMERGY TX120 produces 28 decibels (dB) while idling and 31 dB in operation, meaning that staff can work without disturbance.

Like all the other servers in the PRIMERGY family, the PRIMERGY TX120 ships with PRIMERGY Server View Remote Management functions, enabling flexible, secure and economical management of the server from any location at any time. The presence of a local administrator is no longer necessary, which is a further benefit for branch offices and internal workgroups within a company.
