Fujitsu Launches New Models of Enterprise Desktop PCs and 1U Rack-mount Workstations
Enhancing the enterprise PC lineup with new models featuring the latest 4th-Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) processor family
Tokyo, June 12, 2013 - (JCN Newswire) - Fujitsu today announced the release of two new models in the enterprise line of ESPRIMO desktop PCs which come equipped with the latest 4th-Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) high performance processors, as well as a new 1U rack-mount model in the CELSIUS workstation series. The new models will be available in Japan from today.
In addition, Fujitsu is releasing a new PC model specially designed for call centers. It combines the ultra-small FUJITSU PC ESPRIMO B532/G model with a newly developed display arm to enable more effective use of desk space. This new model was developed in response to listening to the issues raised by call center employees, and leads to improved communication among staff members as well as improving space utilization.
Product Features
1. The ESPRIMO D Series of compact desktop PCs
Fujitsu has added 2 new models to the ESPRIMO D Series, the FUJITSU PC ESPRIMO D753/G and FUJITSU PC ESPRIMO D583/G. Both models are equipped with the latest 4th-generation Intel(R) Core(TM) high performance processors. The ESPRIMO D753/G is equipped with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 vPro(TM) and Core(TM) i5 vPro(TM) processors, chipsets, and LAN chips that support Intel(R) vPro(TM) technology. This means security, as well as post-deployment maintenance and operations management, is enhanced - a must for enterprise customers.
Furthermore, as a symbol of high-performance and high-quality enterprise PCs, both of these new models in the ESPRIMO D Series will adopt an all-new design accented in red, Fujitsu's corporate color.
2. The FUJITSU Workstation CELSIUS C620 1U rack-mount workstation
For businesses focusing on CAD, CAE(1), and analytical simulations, the inability to perform vendor authentication on a server's operating system or in a virtual environment has presented a significant challenge. The CELSIUS C620 1U rack-mount workstation utilizes a physical co-location approach to help solve this problem. The workstation's 1U size designation is the most compact size specification for rack-mounted equipment, allowing workstations to be co-located more efficiently.
(1) Solving workstation challenges through co-location of physical machines
With this workstation model, it is possible to have multiple workstations aggregated and mounted on a rack located in a server room. By co-locating these machines, companies can simultaneously increase security while cutting maintenance costs. This arrangement can also reduce the impact of under-utilized machines, leading to improved operational efficiency. The CELSIUS C620 is fully equipped to meet the necessary conditions for server room installation, including remote management controls (iRMC), remote control functionality through a network, as well as support for continuous 24-hour operation(2).
CELSIUS C620's 1U-sized units (EIA-designated standard) are able to be stacked one on top of the other to fit a rack size of 19 inches, meaning that a single 42U rack could support up to 40 machines.
(2) Compatible with the latest NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards
The CELSIUS C620 is compatible with the latest graphics cards, the Quadro K600, K2000, and the K4000. Equipping the CELSIUS C620 with any one of these graphics cards would make for smooth and easy use of applications such as CAD, CAE, and analytical simulations.
(3) Support for continuous 24-hour operation
Also being offered is a model of the CELSIUS C620 that supports continuous 24-hour operation. This will help businesses by enabling such things as access operations for overseas offices where there is a time difference, as well as automatic activation of software patching and security software late at night. This means that diminished performance or missed opportunities that lead to added costs can be avoided during normal working hours.
3. PCs specially designed for call centers
One of the challenges of the workplace environment in a call center is the limited amount of space on top of the desk of each staff member. In order to help resolve this issue, Fujitsu gathered the opinions and ideas of its own call center employees to develop a new machine that combines the ultra-small bodied ESPRIMO B532/G PC with a display arm that can be moved freely in any direction.
By deploying the new PC with this new display arm, companies are able to do away with conventional display stands and large desktop units. This will increase available desk space and improve the ease of tasks such as filling in forms and reviewing catalogs while providing support, leading to higher levels of efficiency from call center staff members.
The system's display arm also enables fine-tuned adjustment for both height and viewing angle, enabling the display to be positioned to best suit each individual staff member. The display also features a very wide range of motion that allows colleagues to share information on their screens with each other by maneuvering the display itself.
