FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2540 M2 Dual socket
2U rack server
The data center standard without compromise
FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY will give you the servers
you need to power any workload and changing
business requirements. As business processes
expand so does the need for applications. Each
has its own resource footprint, so you need
a way to optimize your computing to better
serve your users. PRIMERGY systems will help
you match your computing capabilities to your
business priorities with our complete portfolio of
expandable PRIMERGY tower servers for remote
cost and complexity, provide more agility in daily
operations, and integrate seamlessly to let help
you concentrate on core business functions.
FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX rack systems are
versatile rack-optimized servers providing bestin-class performance and energy efciency, and
thus form the “standard” in each data center.
PRIMERGY RX servers deliver more than 20 years of
development and production know-how resulting
in extremely low failure rates below market
average, and lead to continuous operations and
outstanding hardware availability.
cores. Along with new DDR4 memory technology
with up to 1.5 TB it boosts application performance
to be able to cope with the increasing data growth
and shortens time to business results. The modular
design of the server offers excellent expandability
with up to 24 disk drives, high storage density,
DynamicLoM technology, up to 8 PCIe Gen 3 I/O
expansion slots. The DynamicLoM technology
offers users the ability to individually adapt the
current server network as well as the ability to
change and thus meet future requirements without
giving the server infrastructure a general overhaul.
The PRIMERGY RX2540 M2 comes with two
redundant hot-plug power supply units, offering up
to 96% energy efciency. The Cool-safe® Advanced
Thermal Design allows for operation in ambient
temperatures of up to 40 °C/104 °F, optionally even
up to 45°C/113°F. Both these features in line help
to reduce operational expenses.
PRIMERGY RX2540 M2
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2540 M2 sets
higher standards for usability, scalability and costefciency. It is a 2U dual-socket rack server ideal
for running enterprise applications, collaboration
and messaging workloads as well as traditional
databases. Plus, it substantially simplies
carrying out infrastructure-related tasks like server
virtualization and consolidation. As one of the key
innovations, versatile performance is guaranteed
by a new generation of processors. The PRIMERGY
RX2540 M2 can be equipped with two of the latest
