Introduction
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY CX scale-out systems are the ideal basis for
cloud, hyper-converged and high performance computing solutions. They
provide data centers as well as branch offices with massive computing power
for virtualized environments, complex calculations as well as consolidation and
high-availabilty scenarios.
The PRIMERGY CX2550 M1 is a compact server node enabling highest
computing density with four independent servers in 2 height units. It is ideal for
cloud, cluster and high performance computing scenarios as well as in
dedicated Big Data environments.
Combined in a PRIMERGY CX400 M1 multi-node system the servers provide
an aggregated scale-out performance of a total of 8 CPUs of the latest Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor E5-2600 v3 product family, 64 DDR4 memory DIMMs and up
to 24 storage drives in a condensed 2 U rack enclosure. With a huge
performance potential, high energy efficiency and at the same time attractive
investment costs the PRIMERGY CX2550 M1 provides great versatility to
match even ambitious workloads.
The highly compact server node occupies the half width of one height unit (HU)
in the server enclosure.
