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 M4 / CX2560 M4 / CX2570 M4 are compact server
nodes enabling highest computing density with four independent servers in 1
height unit (applicable to the CX2550 M4 and CX2560 M4) or 2 height units
(applicable to the CX2570 M4). It is ideal for cloud, cluster and high
performance computing scenarios as well as in dedicated Big Data
environments.
Combined in a PRIMERGY CX400 M4 multi-node system the servers provide
an aggregated scale-out performance of a total of 8 CPUs of the latest Intel
®
Xeon Processor Scalable Family, up to 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 CX400 M4 server nodes provide great versatility to match
even ambitious workloads.
