Product Description
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2540 M5 sets high standards for usability, scalability and cost efficiency. It is a 2U dual-socket rack server ideal for running enterprise applications, collaboration and messaging workloads as well as traditional databases. In addition, it simplifies carrying out infrastructure-related tasks such as server virtualization and consolidation. As one of the key innovations, versatile performance is guaranteed by a new generation of processors. The PRIMERGY RX2540 M5 can be equipped with two of the Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family CPUs. Along with new DDR4 memory technology it boosts application performance so that it copes with the increasing data growth and to shorten time to business results. The modular design of the server offers excellent expandability with up to 28 disk drives, high storage density, up to 8 PCIe Gen 3 I/O expansion slots. A variety of onboard DynamicLoM options, plus its dual-port embedded LAN meet future requirements, cost-optimized. The PRIMERGY RX2540 M5 comes with two redundant hot-plug power supply units, offering up to 96% energy efficiency. The Cool-safe® Advanced Thermal Design allows operation in ambient temperatures of up to 45 °C/104 °F. Having both these features helps to reduce operational expenses.
