Did you know

The System x3250 M4 server is a compact, cost-effective, single-processor 1U rack server that has been

optimized to provide outstanding availability, manageability, and performance features to

small-to-medium-sized businesses, retail stores, or distributed enterprises. It supports the latest Xeon

processors for applications that require performance and stability, and Core i3 processors for applications

that require lower cost.

The system includes features not typically seen in this class of system, such as standard, embedded

RAID-0/1 for simple-swap models, remote control capabilities even when the machine is powered off, and

Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) on processor and memory. This flexible 1U rack-mountable server is

also highly upgradable and expandable, scaling from low-cost, fixed-function models to feature-rich,

highly available models.
