The SR590 server features a unique AnyBay design that allows a choice of drive interface types in the same drive bay: SAS drives, SATA drives, or U.2 NVMe PCIe drives. The SR590 server offers onboard NVMe PCIe ports that allow direct connections to the U.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs, which frees up I/O slots and helps lower NVMe solution acquisition costs. The SR590 server is designed to meet ASHRAE A4 standards (up to 45 °C) in select configurations, which enable customers to lower energy costs, while still maintaining world-class reliability.
