About UNIX Server Fujitsu M10

Installed with the Fujitsu SPARC64™ X processor, Fujitsu M10 is a high-performance, high-reliability UNIX server that brings together the high standard of reliability that is demanded by mission-critical systems, high-performance processing capacity that enables massive amounts of data to be rapidly processed – a key advantage in the era of big data – and dynamic scalability to accommodate exponential data growth.

In order to support unparalleled processing performance, the server employs Liquid Loop Cooling, an autonomous liquid circulation technology that builds on the cooling technologies leveraged in Fujitsu's supercomputers. This technology combines the strengths of both conventional air cooling and liquid cooling methods to develop a new cooling technology that can reduce fan power consumption by approximately 50%⁽¹⁾. Moreover, in addition to accommodating relevant environmental regulations, the Fujitsu M10's energy-saving design enables power consumption savings of up to 15%⁽²⁾ compared to Fujitsu's previous products, and through server integration that takes advantage of virtualization technology, the server achieves a reduction in power consumption of up to 68%⁽³⁾.
