A Fujitsu Siemens server has broken the record for server
energy efficiency by surpassing the 1,000 operations per watt.
The Primergy TX150 S6 server was tested in accordance
with Standard
Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) standards.
SPEC developed the benchmark for energy-efficient industry-standard
servers that the Fujitsu Siemens server was tested with.
Previous to the Primergy TX150 S6 server, which clocked in
at 1018 operations per watt, the highest energy efficiency
score was 910 operations per watt.
"When you take the extra performance per machine and multiply
it by a factor of many, to reflect the typical environment
in which TX150 tower servers are deployed, then the savings
potential becomes clear" - Jens-Peter Seick, senior vice president
of enterprise server business at Fujitsu Siemens said in a
statement.
The Primergy TX150 S6 server includes a quad-core Intel Xeon
X3360 processor, 4x 2GB DIMM memory modules, a 500GB SATA
hard drive running at 7200rpm and Microsoft Windows Server
2003 R2 Enterprise X64 Edition.
SPEC, which has created a number of other benchmarks for
high performance computing, recently created a benchmark for
comparing performance to power use by workstations.
