IBM System x3250 M5 Server
Advanced performance and energy efficiency for small businesses in a single-socket 1U rack server
[ibmx3250m5]Details
Choose the latest Intel processor that best matches your workloads, whether Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3 series, Core i3, or Pentium, including Xeon Data Center Graphics processors. With increasing focus on data security, the included Trusted Platform Module (TPM) can help safely store cryptographic keys.
Expand with simplicity—on your timetable
After activating the IBM Integrated Management Module 2 (IMM2) standard on your server, you can use IBM Feature on Demand (FoD) for several upgrades. For example, using FoD you can easily enable two more Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports, in addition to the two standard ports, without opening your system hardware. You can also upgrade the speed and security of the ServeRAID C100 RAID-5 upgrade within the FoD key activation system. Furthermore, by using FoD for upgrades, your two PCIe x8 expansion slots remain free for other IBM certified upgrade options as your business grows.
A big emphasis on efficiency and value
You may decide to use the x3250 M5 for basic infrastructure, file and print, and similar workloads. Or you may add this compact server to your data center for management tasks. The 40°C operating temperature enhancement kit2 allows the x3250 M5 to work alongside the entire System x rack portfolio, and can reduce overall energy costs for your data center. Whatever the purpose, this server brings IBM quality and reliability to your organization at a smart entry-level price.
