FUJITSU SIEMENS COMPUTERS REVEALS A GREEN, SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Company First to Offer Complete Product Range Balancing Business Performance with Environmental Care

MUNICH · January 31, 2008 /PRNewswire/ — Fujitsu Siemens Computers executives outlined the company's strategic commitment to environmental sustainability in a podcast released today and available at
http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/fujitsu-siemens/31527. Bernd Bischoff, chief executive officer, said: "I'm proud we're the first IT vendor with a complete range of environmentally sound products for the data centre, in the office, on the move and at home."

Green at heart

Environmental care has been central to Fujitsu Siemens Computers' corporate philosophy and product development strategy for 20 years, and the company has a track record of firsts. Today, its ESPRIMO ProGreen Professional PCs consume 50% less power than comparable models, while the SCALEO L is the first green Consumer PC. Meanwhile, several LIFEBOOK notebook models have achieved rigorous Nordic Swan certification — the only notebooks in the world to do so — and, with its power savings of 40%, the PRIMERGY TX120 server is the most energy efficient in the world. Furthermore, the efficiencies of the company's Dynamic Data Centre can reduce the number of servers in a data centre by 60% and cut energy costs by an equal percentage.

Strategic direction supports customer demands

Fujitsu Siemens Computers' dedication to environmental care has come at a time when more of its customers are demanding it. Gartner says that Green IT is number one on the CIO agenda for 2008 — something Fujitsu Siemens Computers' Chief Marketing Officer Barbara Schädler agrees with: "Since last year we've noticed more users asking for green solutions." This isn't surprising given recent findings such as a single server rack consumes energy equivalent to 20 households per year (source: Fujitsu Siemens Computers); or IT contributes two percent of the world's CO2 emissions — equivalent to all the planes in the world (source: Gartner).

"If not addressed power consumption and emissions will create serious problems for the planet," said Joseph Reger, chief technology officer. "At Fujitsu Siemens Computers we're seeking to change the fundamentals of IT by embedding values that will help save the environment."

Striking a balance

Commenting on Fujitsu Siemens Computers' product development ethos, Thomas Sieber, executive vice president sales EMEA, said: "We offer a balance between business and environmental benefits. Businesses cannot sacrifice efficiency and we've worked hard to create solutions which are both environmentally friendly and offer world-class performance."
