Product Description
The Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX2520 M5 is an efficient and scalable platform for essential business applications. Its dual sockets host Intel® Xeon® Scalable Family processors with up to 768 GB RAM. The PRIMERGY RX2520 delivers an especially well balanced price / performance ratio making it ideal for baseline datacenter workloads i.e. for collaboration platforms or storage-hungry applications. The system design offers room for future growth thanks to modular design approaches for variable base units, PSUs, controllers, LAN etc. iRMC S5 server management lowers operational costs additionally.
