Applications, trade-offs and selection guide

Choose the platform for the workload

For virtualization, start with VM count, RAM, growth and storage needs. Databases and business software also depend on disk latency, application behavior and licensing. The same platform with different CPUs and drives can have very different performance and cost.

Chassis, expansion and installation

Choose SFF/LFF bays and backplane before ordering. Rack, tower and blade platforms have different installation needs. Check rack depth, rails, power, airflow and noise at the installation site. Blade servers also need a compatible enclosure and shared infrastructure.

What an exact quotation should contain

List the exact model, CPUs, RAM type/capacity, drives/carriers, RAID, NICs, PSUs and management licences. Specify condition, health testing, included accessories, warranty terms and delivery time for that exact configuration.

About this server

The ML350 Gen9 brings Gen9 dual-socket power in a quiet tower form; the ideal pick for an office, small company or environments without a standard rack.

Not every business has a standard server room with a rack. If you want to place a powerful server next to a desk, in an office or a storeroom, the ML350 Gen9 is built for that; a tower chassis that needs no rack, with large quiet fans that work in a normal office.

On power it gives nothing away: dual Xeon E5 v3/v4 sockets, up to 3 TB DDR4 and plenty of room for drives. It also has space for a graphics card (GPU), so it is a good option for rendering, simulation or light AI. For small companies that want one versatile, low-hassle server, it is an excellent choice.
