Introduction

Affordable, efficient enterprise power in 1U
The ThinkSystem SR250 is a single-socket compact 1U rack server that offers the power, reliability, and flexibility for the hybrid cloud.

Powerful and secure
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 is a single-processor rack server that integrates power, reliability, flexibility, and security in a compact 1U form factor suited for the small-to-medium business or edge deployment.

Featuring a high price-performance ratio courtesy of the next-generation Intel® Xeon® E-2200 CPU, the ThinkSystem SR250 boasts multiple configurations that provides the flexibility to handle workloads including web serving, virtualization, entry-cloud and data-analytics applications.

Flexible and scalable
The ThinkSystem SR250 adapts to multiple environments and workloads in which a shorter-depth rack accommodates space-constrained environments. Lightning-fast TruDDR4 memory, GPU support, and an array of storage options, including low-latency NVMe drives, afford serious storage and workload flexibility.

Simple management
The ThinkSystem SR250 features the Lenovo XClarity Controller, the embedded management engine in all ThinkSystem servers that is designed to standardize, simplify, and automate foundation server management tasks.

The XClarity Administrator virtualized application centrally manages your ThinkSystem servers, storage, and networking; offering streamlined IT management to contain administrative costs and speed infrastructure provisioning.
