Product Description
Optimized for extensive virtualization and consolidation projects, the FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY BX2580 M1 offers versatile performance to be able to cope with the dramatic increase of data and digital information. The PRIMERGY BX2580 M1 is built with the Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 processor family, up to 1,536 GB of DDR4 memory (with 64 GB DIMMs), up to two 1,8” SSD drives, as well as further boot options by local UFM and SATADOM flash devices. It offers exceptional levels of flexibility and I/O throughput to run the most demanding applications. This server blade maximizes the number of virtual machines per server and reduces the hardware requirements for your virtualized environment with 24 DIMM slots and up to 36 cores. This extreme memory density and number of cores are critical elements for a variety of workloads including demanding high performance computing applications. In addition it provides the possibility to scale the network throughput to match individual application needs with the integrated dual-channel 10 Gbit/s Ethernet Universal Converged Network Adapter and two further mezzanine card options.
