One of the buzz making the rounds in server news is the launch of Fujitsu’s PRIMERGY TX120. It is tauted to be the server with the lowest carbon footprint in the market.
The funny thing is, being Malaysian, I know for a fact that the TX120 was already available in Malaysia since April 2007! Does this mean that Malaysia has been a testing ground for the global release of this fine server?
According to Fujitsu, the server has:
- The lowest energy use, consuming 40 per cent less energy than conventional tower servers. Specifically, FSC claims power consumption of 143W with the Xeon option - less when fitted with a Celeron CPU. The company therefore claims a “world-leading carbon footprint” along with lower environmental impact, and power consumption and financial savings.
- The smallest size at one-third the size of standard tower servers: it measures 99mm wide by 340mm high by 399mm deep.
- The lowest noise levels — the quietest server in its class, reckons FSC — with noise emissions 50 per cent lower than standard tower servers. This is particularly important for servers that could share space with staff. It produces 28dB while idling and 31dB in operation.
