Manageability and security
Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the SR250 server and deliver
enterprise-class data protection:
Provides advanced service processor control, monitoring, and alerting functions with XClarity Controller, a
next generation service processor.
Improves Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) system setup, configuration, updates, simplified error
handling, and operating system deployment with the embedded XClarity Provisioning Manager.
Offers XClarity Essentials software tools that can help customers set up, use, and maintain the server.
Increases uptime, reduces costs, and improves productivity through advanced server management
capabilities with Lenovo XClarity Administrator that provides comprehensive hardware management.
Provides on-the-go monitoring and management of devices in XClarity Administrator from anywhere with
the Lenovo XClarity mobile app, which can help improve efficiency and reduce downtime risks.
Centralizes infrastructure resource management with Lenovo XClarity Integrators for VMware vCenter and
Microsoft System Center, extending XClarity Administrator features to virtualization management software
tools and enabling users to deploy and manage infrastructure end-to-end.
Offers advanced cryptographic functionality (such as digital signatures and remote attestation) with an
integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) or optional Nationz TPM (available only in PRC).
Keeps user data safe with Lenovo Business Vantage, a security software tool suite designed to work with
the Nationz Trusted Platform Module (available only in PRC).
Establishes a solid security foundation for workloads by delivering firmware that is securely built, tested,
digitally signed, and verified prior to execution.
Offers enterprise-class data protection with advanced RAID and optional self-encrypting drives.
Provides faster, stronger encryption with industry-standard AES NI support.
Helps prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks with Intel Execute Disable Bit
functionality, when combined with a supporting operating system.
Enhances security through hardware-based resistance to malicious software attacks with Intel Trusted
Execution Technology (Xeon E Series processors only), allowing an application to run in its own isolated
space, protected from all other software running on a system.
Helps prevent unauthorized software from running on the server by protecting against boot block-level
malicious software with Intel Boot Guard technology.
Protects application code and data from disclosure or modification with Intel Software Guard Extensions
(SGX), enabling high-assurance security use cases, such as blockchain, identity and records privacy,
secure browsing, and digital rights management (DRM).
Energy efficiency
The SR250 server offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs,
increase energy availability, and contribute to the green environment:
Delivers optimized compute power per watt, featuring 80 PLUS Gold (fixed) and Platinum (hot-swap) AC
power supplies.
Reduces power drawn with Intel Intelligent Power Capability that powers individual processor elements on
and off as needed.
Helps reduce power consumption with variable speed fans.
Helps achieve lower heat output and reduced cooling needs with Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager that
provides advanced data center power notification, analysis, and policy-based management.
