SUNNYVALE, CA–(EMWNews – July 22, 2008) – Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation today
announced that as of the date of this release, the PRIMERGY(R) TX300 S4
server has delivered the best price/performance in a benchmark developed by
TPC. The PRIMERGY TX300 S4 server has also achieved top performance for a
dual-processor system in the same test. Complete results are available at

report is available at http://www.tpc.org/results/FDR/tpce/fujitsu-siemens.TX300S4.080530.02.fdr.pdf.
Powered by two Intel Xeon X5460 Quad-Core processors, the PRIMERGY TX300 S4
server achieved a tpsE (transactions per second) of 317.45 and a price/tpsE
of US $523.49 using the TPC Benchmark(TM) E developed to simulate a modern
OLTP system supporting a brokerage firm.
“Fujitsu offers a wide range of computing solutions to meet every IT
challenge and budget, and our goal is to provide our customers with the
best price/performance in the industry for each solution,” said Richard
McCormack, senior vice president of marketing for Fujitsu Computer Systems.
“As the TPC-E benchmark indicates, the PRIMERGY TX300 S4 server meets this
goal, making it the most cost-effective platform for even the most
demanding database systems and online transaction processing environments.”
Tests were carried out in Fujitsu Siemens Computers’ benchmarking
laboratories in Paderborn, Germany, under certified TPC conditions. The
tested system was a PRIMERGY TX300 S4 server with 2 processors, 8 cores,
and 8 threads running Microsoft(R) Windows Server(R) 2008 Enterprise x64
Edition and Microsoft SQL Server(TM) 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition, with 64GB
RAM, and 188 SAS 3Gb/s 73GB hard drives. The system price of US $166,181 is
available through August 30, 2008.
About TPC-E
TPC Benchmark E (TPC-E) is a new On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP)
workload developed by the Transaction Processing Performance Council. The
TPC-E benchmark simulates the OLTP workload of a brokerage firm. The focus
of the benchmark is the central database that executes transactions related
to the firm’s customer accounts. Although the underlying business model of
TPC-E is a brokerage firm, the database schema, data population,
transactions, and implementation rules have been designed to be broadly
representative of modern OLTP systems. For more information, visit
