Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the leading European IT provider, announced that it will enhance its overall offering in the industry-standard server space through adding AMD Opteron processors to its PRIMERGY server line.

Products based on the AMD Opteron processor are expected to take advantage of the dual-core processing technology which assembles two physical processor cores on one die, improving the server offering for the Dynamic Data Centre focusing on improvement of efficiency, flexibility and availability in the data centre.

The company expects to ship PRIMERGY based on AMD Opteron before the end of this calendar year. The PRIMERGY server line already offers 64-bit Intel 2-way and 4-way Xeon processor MP and Itanium 2 processor technology.

"Our PRIMERGY server line has come to stand for quality and innovation, and our customers demand technology that will help them to enhance their business," said Rui de Oliveira, Product Manager Enterprise Servers at Fujitsu Siemens Computers. "By adding the AMD Opteron processor to our offering, we build on our strong base, extending our ability to meet customer needs."

A cornerstone in the Dynamic Data Centre

The PRIMERGY server line enables dynamic IT infrastructures. Consolidated servers and virtualisation technologies are key for IT landscapes in order to enhance performance, to increase the deployment of resources and to achieve a complete new level of flexibility. The Dynamic Data Centre (DDC) is a concept for a new-generation hardware and software architecture that focuses on end-user services and service level agreements (SLAs) which enables on-demand computing to become a reality.

With the DDC, Fujitsu Siemens Computers enables companies to move from system-related tier-IT structures into service-oriented architectures. This means for example that computers and database resources can be dynamically aligned to applications and the result is increased flexibility and reliability, as well as considerable improvement in the cost-effectiveness of the IT infrastructure.
