Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX2530 M5 Server 0 GB Rack (1U) Intel® Xeon® Gold 5217 3 GHz 16 GB DDR4-SDRAM 450 W

The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2530 M5 is a dual-socket rack server that provides high performance of the new Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family CPUs, expandability of up to 3TB of DDR4 memory and the capability to use Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory, and up to 10x 2.5-inch storage devices - all in a 1U space saving housing. Accordingly, the PRIMERGY RX2530 M5 is the optimal system for large virtualization and scale-out scenarios, databases and for high performance computing.

Innovation meets Performance
Wide choice of different types of Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor Family. Each processor offers up to 28 cores, up to 56 threads, 12 memory channels enabling a significantly higher performance and efficiency. They rely on Intel® UltraPath Interconnect for an increased data rate between the CPUs. Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory is an innovative memory technology that delivers a unique combination of affordable large capacity and persistence (non-volatility). It revolutionizes the data center memory-storage hierarchy of the past and brings massive data sets closer to the CPU for faster time to insight. In total, up to 7,680 GB main memory in a mixed mode (non-volatile memory + DDR4 @ 2,933 MT/s) are available.

Enhanced Features for enhanced Computing
The RX2530 M5 comes with onboard LAN for basic LAN, DynamicLoM via OCP slot for extended requirements. A mix&match storage drive bay configuration offers the choice of either up to 8x 2.5-inch HDD/SSD + 1x ODD or up to 10x 2.5-inch, thereof optionally max. 10x PCIe 2.5-inch SSD SFF, complemented by internal M.2 devices for hypervisor installations. Our power supply units with up to 96% energy efficiency and Fujitsu’s Cool-safe® Advanced Thermal Design for higher ambient temperatures in the data center are available for this server.

Foundation for Trust and Security
Fujitsu ServerView Suite including tools for installation and deployment, permanent status monitoring and control, free-of-charge BIOS, firmware and selected software updates plus TPM2.0 modules and latest operating system support are a great addition.

Revolutionize data center management
Fujitsu ServerView Suite is a free-of-charge management software including tools for installation and deployment, permanent status monitoring and control as well as BIOS, firmware and selected software updates. In addition FUJITSU Software Infrastructure Manager (ISM) provides converged management across multiple data centers. The new ISM Essential license, available free-of-charge provides essential server management and converged monitoring functions.

Ready for the future and data growth scenarios with the performance of two processors – marking the standard of tomorrow with an increase in computing power. Several innovations make this new CPU generation (code-named “Cascade Lake”) even more powerful than the current-generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, enabling robust compute capability and increased memory bandwidth for demanding workloads. Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory technology will transform critical data workloads – from cloud and databases, to in-memory analytics, and content delivery networks.

The right Ethernet connection for all: Basic via onboard LAN, extended with DynamicLoM via OCP guarantees the highest flexibility to integrate the server into existing infrastructures – now and in future without overhauling the existing infrastructure. Flexible expandability and diverse options for storage devices permits for the integration of existing and new SSD and HDD as needed. Less today, more in future – or vice versa. On top of that, this server is not only “greener”, but also less expensive over time. Cool-safe® ATD and highly efficient hot-plug power supplies save energy costs.

These features ensure lifecycle investment protection while the comprehensive tools of the Fujitsu ServerView Suite ease the administrators’ life. Moreover, hardware and software security features are very important in a fast-paced world, especially considering cybercrime.

Fujitsu offers comprehensive infrastructure management and server management solutions which is key to efficient data center operations. They provides all the functions for flexible and automated 24x7 IT operations and improves end-user productivity via intelligent and innovative system management solutions. ISM helps improve data center efficiency and overall IT Productivity with converged infrastructure management, paving the path to software-defined data center.

How to use

Install the RX2530 M5 into a standard 19" server rack occupying 1U of space. Configure processors, memory modules and optional Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory according to workload requirements and Fujitsu-supported configurations. Populate the drive bays with the desired mix of HDDs, SATA/SAS SSDs or NVMe PCIe SSDs and install the preferred hypervisor or operating system using the internal M.2 slot if required. Connect power and network interfaces; use the DynamicLoM/OCP slot for additional or faster network adapters when needed. Use Fujitsu ServerView Suite or ISM for initial provisioning, firmware updates and ongoing monitoring.

Recommendations

For virtualization and database workloads, populate memory channels evenly and consider Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory in mixed mode to increase usable main memory capacity. Choose high-efficiency hot-plug power supplies and enable Fujitsu’s thermal features to optimize power and cooling. Use ServerView Suite and ISM for centralized management, regular firmware updates and monitoring to maintain security and performance.
