Why Fujitsu BX Blade Server
When you need a data center where everything works together, you need a
modular system in which every component simply connects:

More reasons to choose PRIMERGY BX:

 Highest midplane bandwidth, ready for

future technologies
 Tailor-made: Easy add and remove from servers
without significant re-cabling or reconfiguration
 Efficiency: Blades are generally more power
efficient than standard rack servers
 Flexible connectivity with easy bandwidth
and I/O virtualization management
“
At first we didn’t quite understand why we should
migrate from our old servers to compact PRIMERGY
Blade Servers. After all, there was no shortage of
space. But we then realized that the new systems
feature exceptional performance, reliability and
flexibility. Administration has been simplified, and we
consume significantly less electricity than previously.
That all pays off for us. “
Riccardo Verni, Manager IT Systems, Gilmar Group

Simplify network connections

Reduces complexity, efforts and costs

 Virtualizes all the identity-defining I/O
parameters like MAC and WWN addresses
 Concentrates these addresses in so-called
profiles together with all required parameters to
remotely boot a certain image
 Stores profiles, each defining a certain server
usage (application) in a central repository
 Creates a separate domain for server
management, thus separating it completely from
LAN or SAN management

Optimized IT infrastructure provisioning

Increases your business responsiveness

 Enables users to quickly react on changing
requirements
 Flexible assignment of applications to the
available server environment
 Migration of applications to hardware with
appropriate performance
 Significantly eases the restart of applications

 Example "Dynamic Power Mode“:
 4 PSU’s configured with dual redundancy (2+2)
and no dynamic mode:
 Enabled dynamic mode  One PSU is
automatically switched to sleep mode.
 Load and efficiency distributed over three PSUs
increased to 25%

Intelligent cooling - effectively reduce power
 Large, redundant diameter fans with
air flow channels reduce the risk
associated with heat failures
 Up to four PSU’s with 94% efficiency
(CSCI Platinum Standard)
 "Dynamic Power Mode“ automatically
improves power consumption as it
