Product Description
The Fujitsu Server PRIMERGY RX200 S8 is a rack server that provides high performance, expandability and energy efficiency in 1U space saving housing. Thus, the PRIMERGY RX200 S8 is ideal for virtualization and cloud, small databases as well as for high performance computing thanks to the top performance of the new Intel® Xeon® E5 product family. Moreover, the RX200 S8 delivers a great expandability, by supporting up to 1536 GB of memory, eight hard disk drives and cost-saving Modular LAN options to ensure future requirements are met and budgets are saved. Thanks to the highly efficient power supply units with an efficiency rate of 96 % and the new power management this will result in lower operational costs.
