The IBM System x3250 is a single-socket server that is easy to deploy, manage and service. It provides outstanding performance and reliability at an entry-level price.

Simplified computing

The x3250 offers remote monitoring and alerting capabilities that provide strong systems management. In addition:

  • Simple-swap and hot-swap hard disk drives (HDDs) offer easy serviceability without removing the system from the rack

  • Optional upgrade to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine for remote management even when the server is powered down

  • Integrated hardware RAID-0 or RAID-1 without using a slot (select models)

  • Rack-optimized, 22" deep form factor with the ability to support up to four 2.5" SAS HDDs

Performance, protection at entry-level price

Designed for high-performance, quad-core and dual-core 64-bit processors, the x3250 can optimize performance of your Web and network infrastructure. For a performance boost, choose models with Intel® Xeon® or Intel Pentium® D processors, while those running less demanding applications may prefer the Intel Celeron® processor.

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) HDDs and PCI-Express ensure even greater integrated I/O performance and compatibility with next-generation devices for added long-term investment protection.
