Product Description
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY CX2560 M4 is designed to be a workhorse for data centers looking for new levels of efficiency and density in an outstanding compact form factor. The CX2560 M4 is well-suited for mainstream enterprise workloads, web serving, dedicated hosting, infrastructure virtualization as well as analytics thanks to the high performance of the new Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family with up to 28 cores and the latest DDR4 technology supporting up to 2,048 GB of main memory. The server node is prepared for individual future demands by offering various modular options. In addition to the basic onboard LAN, the node provides the option of using the DynamicLoM technology as well as two additional PCI Express® (PCIe) expansion slots. The CX2560 M4 nodes are housed in the PRIMERGY CX400 M4, a 2U modular chassis that delivers the density and efficiency of bladelike servers with the simplicity and cost benefits of rack-based systems. The CX400 M4 delivers efficiency through shared power, cooling and management.
