Inspur NF5280M6 2U Dual-Socket Rack Server

The Inspur NF5280M6 is a 2U rack-mounted server based on the Intel Ice Lake-SP (3rd Gen Xeon Scalable) platform, supporting dual processors with up to 40 cores each. The system is engineered as a general-purpose workhorse, offering a balanced compute-to-storage ratio that suits a broad spectrum of enterprise workloads from database serving to virtualization. Its architecture leverages PCIe 4.0 across all expansion slots, doubling bandwidth versus prior-generation platforms, and supports Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series alongside DDR4-3200 ECC RDIMMs for tiered memory strategies.

The NF5280M6 provides up to 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch hot-swap NVMe/SAS/SATA drive bays, making it well-suited for hyper-converged infrastructure deployments where local NVMe storage is paramount. The flexible backplane design allows mixed drive configurations in a single chassis. Dual redundant hot-swap power supplies, tool-less rail kit, and comprehensive IPMI 2.0/BMC-based out-of-band management via Inspur's own BMC (InBand Management) round out enterprise operational requirements.

The server supports up to three full-height, full-length double-width GPU cards (e.g., NVIDIA A30/A100 PCIe) making it usable for moderate AI inference or GPU-accelerated analytics without transitioning to a dedicated GPU platform. Its broad OS certification list includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, VMware vSphere, Windows Server, and openEuler, making it a natural fit for multi-vendor enterprise environments.

Ideal for

• VMware vSphere or KVM virtualization host consolidation
• Oracle or MySQL relational database serving
• SAP application server tier
• Hyper-converged infrastructure node (Nutanix, VMware vSAN)
• Enterprise middleware and Java application serving
• Moderate GPU-accelerated data analytics or inference
