The ThinkServer TS150 server is an office-friendly tower server that has been optimized to provide enterprise-class features to small-to-medium-sized businesses, retail stores, and distributed enterprises.

Scalability and performance

The TS150 offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:

• The Intel Xeon processor E3-1225 v6 improves productivity by offering affordable single-socket system performance with 4-core processors with up to 3.3 GHz core speeds and up to 8 MB cache.
• Intelligent and adaptive system performance with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows processor cores to run at maximum speeds during peak workloads by temporarily going beyond processor thermal design power (TDP).
• Intel Hyper-Threading Technology boosts performance for multithreaded applications by enabling simultaneous multithreading within each processor core, up to two threads per core.
• Intel Virtualization Technology integrates hardware-level virtualization hooks that allow operating system vendors to better use the hardware for virtualization workloads.
• Up to four 2400 MHz DDR4 ECC or non-ECC UDIMMs provide speed and capacity of up to 64 GB.
• The server offers PCI Express 3.0 I/O expansion capabilities that increase the theoretical maximum bandwidth by almost 100% (8 GTps per link using 128b/130b encoding) compared to the PCI Express 2.0 (5 GTps per link using 8b/10b encoding).
• With Intel Integrated I/O Technology, the PCI Express 3.0 controller is integrated into the Intel Xeon processor E3-1225 v6 product family. Such integration reduces I/O latency and increases overall system performance.
• Up to five non-hot-swap (NHS) drive bays provide flexible internal storage capacity.
