Product Description
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2530 M4 is a rack server that provides high performance, expandability and energy efficiency in a 1U space saving housing. The PRIMERGY RX2530 M4 is ideal for virtualization, scale-out scenarios, and small databases as well as for high performance computing thanks to the high performance of the new Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family CPUs with up to 28 cores and the latest DDR4 memory technology. The limited space of a 1U chassis offers highly efficient power supply units, their redundancy on demand and the optional Cool-safe® Advanced Thermal Design this will result in lower operational costs.
