Fujitsu rules virtualisation world with PRIMERGY server benchmark

Issued by CoCre8
Munich, 25 Jul 2012

A new benchmark recently published confirmed that Fujitsu rules the virtualisation world in high-performance four-socket servers (1). Fujitsu retains the crown as the number one performer in the four-processor class of the server-independent VMmark benchmark, with fresh results from the PRIMERGY RX500 S7.

The latest results extend Fujitsu's dominance of VMmark results for four-socket servers, with PRIMERGY even outperforming HP's recently-published result for its ProLiant DL560 Gen8 server.

The new best-in-class result underlines that customers can depend on Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers, including the recently-introduced PRIMERGY RX500 S7 rack model, for top performance for market-leading virtualisation and cloud platforms. The new VMmark record was set by coupling the PRIMERGY server with Fujitsu's proven ETERNUS DX storage system.

Notes to editors:

(1) The VMmark result of 18.68@18 tiles was achieved by two Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX500 S7 servers, each with 512 GB of memory, using Intel Xeon E5-4650 processors. Full test results including system specification, further details and current results can be found at: http://www.vmware.com/a/vmmark/.
