Product Description
The Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX924 S3 is designed from the ground up to set a new standard for versatility and scalability in a dual-socket server blade. It offers scalable performance to meet highest requirements of extensive virtualization/ consolidation scenarios on the one hand, and demanding high performance computing applications on the other hand. Packed with advanced features, the PRIMERGY BX924 S3 allows doing more with a two-processor server than ever before. Two Intel® Xeon® E5-2650 processors, 24 high-speed memory modules for up to 768 GB capacity, flexible 10 Gbit/s Emulex® CNA components as well as additional slots for mezzanine cards clearly emphasizing the approach as the perfect high-end server blade. Although servers are being booted more and more via network, this system is enabled for local boot, too. This may optionally be realized with the use of solid state drives (SSD) or a hard disk drive. While virtualization allows consolidating your IT resources, it often leads to increased expenses of the server administration. Thus the PRIMERGY BX924 S3 delivers state-of-the-art management capabilities with the integrated Remote Management Controller (iRMC S3) which offers the next generation of remote management functionality. The result is the ability to make your work faster, no matter whether your server is located in the server-room next door or in another part of the world.
