Dell PowerEdge R250 Rack Server, Intel Xeon E-2314, 16GB DDR4 ECC, 1TB 7.2K SATA, PERC H355 (Low-Profile), iDRAC9 Express, 450W Platinum, 3-Year Basic NBD

The Dell PowerEdge R250 is an entry level 1U rack server built for small to medium businesses and branch infrastructure where compact form factor, reliability and managed expansion matter. This configuration pairs an Intel Xeon E-2314 (4 core, 4 thread) CPU with 16GB UDIMM DDR4 ECC (3200 MT/s) and a 1TB 7,200 RPM SATA cabled hard drive to deliver steady performance for file/print services, small virtual hosts and general business applications.

Storage is serviceable and flexible, the R250 chassis supports up to four 3.5″ drives (hot swap or cabled options depending on chassis choice) and this SKU uses a PERC H355 low profile RAID adapter for hardware RAID (0/1/5/10) to protect data and improve IO performance for business workloads. Networking comes from the Broadcom 5720 dual port 1Gb on board LOM, providing two gigabit ports for redundancy or separated management/data networks. Remote systems management and out of band monitoring are provided by iDRAC9 Express (15G) so IT teams can monitor hardware, update firmware and troubleshoot remotely.

Security and serviceability notes: the platform supports TPM 2.0 for hardware backed credential protection and drive encryption; TPM revisioning and exact feature set may vary by regional channel SKU so confirm the regional spec if you require a specific TPM revision (e.g., V3). Rails and form factor accessories such as 1U static rails for 2 post and 4 post racks are included for standard rack installations. Power in this configuration is supplied by a single cabled 450W Platinum PSU (channel dependent) and the unit is offered with 3 Year Basic Next Business Day commercial support.

Ideal For: SMBs, branch offices and IT teams that need a compact 1U server with hardware RAID, remote manageability and predictable enterprise support, good for file/backup roles, small virtualization hosts and general application servers.
