An Entry Level Server that’s good for Space Saving

So I was hired by a small company to setup their servers. I was so keen on doing this job since I have a friend working for this small company. I consulted them to know what are their server specifications and needs. Since they are just a small and a starting company, their budget is limited, not to mention they have a small office space.

With these settings, I compared entry level servers from IBM, HP, Lenovo and Fujitsu. Comparing the servers from these brands, I found out that the most viable unit would be the M10-1 server from Fujitsu. It is a space saving entry level server, perfect for my friend’s company’s requirements! It can perfectly suit to the office’s space and at the same time, it suits for their budget since the server come at an affordable price.



The M10-1 server supports as many as 16 cores, large-capacity memory modules, and a large-capacity disk in a space-saving one rack unit (1U) chassis, its product specifications says.

Here are the Main features of the server:


  • 16-core SPARC64 X / SPARC64 X+ processor and 512 GB of main memory
  • 1 RU form factor
  • Mainframe-class reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) capabilities
  • Core-based CPU activation
  • Software-on-Chip instructions implemented directly on SPARC64 X / SPARC64 X+ processors
  • Built-in no-cost virtualization: Oracle VM Server for SPARC and Oracle Solaris Zones technologies
  • Supports Oracle Solaris 11 and Oracle Solaris 10, also Solaris 9 and 8 with Oracle Solaris Legacy Containers
  • Oracle Solaris 100% Binary Compatibility Guarantee


So my conclusion, this will be the perfect server setup for small companies.
