1U rack server for small businesses

This Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 is a 1U rack server built for small to medium organisations that need reliable compute in a compact form factor. It ships with a rail kit and Windows Server 2019 Standard pre-installed for immediate deployment.

Suits essential workloads, not dense virtualization

The single Xeon E-2136 six-core processor and 16GB DDR4 suit file serving, print services and light database tasks. Buyers who need more than one CPU socket, larger memory capacity or GPU acceleration should consider a different platform.

8TB across four 3.5-inch SATA drives

Storage is provided by four 2TB 3.5-inch SATA drives totalling 8TB, managed by a controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5. This configuration determines both raw capacity and the redundancy options available.
