SUSE YES Certified for the following products:
Operating Systems:
SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 11 for AMD64 & Intel64 Service Pack 1 for SUSE® SLES 11 |
Product Description
The Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX500 S7 not only provides
the next generation Intel® Xeon® processor
E5-4600 product family with integration of the
PCI Express bus and next generation Intel QPI
interconnect to boost performance as well as
energy efficiency.
Moreover, the RX500 S7 enables new economic
scale-up from 2 to 4 socket server computing by
leveraging the price performance efficiency of 2
socket servers into the 4 socket performance class.
Starting with a 2 processor configuration, this 4u
rack server can easily scale-up to 4 processors and
double its memory up to 1536GB RAM inside the
same 4U rack chassis without changing the server
and rack infrastructure. Its energy conscious design
and usage of low voltage memory pays dividends
in superior performance per Watt and higher
expandability than with 2 socket server standards.
