Are your enterprise servers new and genuine?

Yes. We supply new and factory-sealed new-old-stock (NOS) servers from Dell, Lenovo, xFusion and Inspur, sourced through authorized manufacturer channels. New servers are covered by a 3-year warranty.

Can you ship GPU and storage servers to my country?

We export to 60+ countries across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America, with door-to-door freight, customs documentation and insurance handled by our team.

How fast will I receive a quotation?

Most configuration lists receive a detailed quotation within one business day. For complex deployments, our engineers confirm compatibility and provide options before pricing.

Do you support system integrators and resellers?

Yes — system integrators, IT resellers, project suppliers and tender bidders are our primary customers. We offer multi-brand consolidation, neutral configuration advice and repeat-order account support.

How do I pay, and what terms are available?

We accept international bank transfer (T/T) in USD. Standard orders are confirmed against a proforma invoice, while established repeat accounts and project bidders can discuss agreed payment terms in advance.

What is the lead time for delivery to the Middle East or Southeast Asia?

In-stock configurations are normally built and tested within a few business days, followed by door-to-door air or sea freight depending on the destination. We provide a clear timeline and tracking once the order is confirmed.

How is warranty and after-sales support handled overseas?

New servers carry a 3-year warranty. Our support team coordinates with the manufacturer and arranges replacement parts and remote troubleshooting, so you receive the same level of service in any region we ship to.

Can you build a fully custom configuration to my specification?

Yes. Send your required CPU, memory, drives, accelerators, power and networking preferences — or simply describe the workload and target budget. Our engineers specify, assemble and burn-in test the complete system before shipment.

Maximum capacity on the mature Ice Lake platform

The FusionServer 5288 V6 fits up to 44 hot-swappable 3.5-inch drives and 4 NVMe SSDs in 4U, designed for tiered hot/warm/cold data deployment and historical-data archiving at the lowest cost per terabyte.

Built on 3rd-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 32 DDR4 DIMMs (and optional Optane persistent memory), it delivers the dependable, proven economics that bulk-archive buyers look for.

Ultra-large storage

Up to 44 × 3.5" drives plus 4 NVMe in a single 4U chassis.

Strong compute

Dual Ice Lake Xeon processors, up to 40 cores and 270W TDP.

Flexible memory

32 DDR4 slots and up to 16 Optane PMem 200 modules.

Efficient design

DEMT dynamic energy management and redundant cooling and power.

Value of a mature platform

Why a proven Ice Lake storage node still makes sense

Lowest cost per terabyte

Storage workloads are bounded by drive capacity far more than by the newest CPU. The mature platform removes the premium of the latest generation while delivering the same 44-bay density, so budget goes into drives rather than features a bulk-archive node will not use.

Proven and well understood

3rd-Gen Xeon is a long-shipping, thoroughly validated platform. BIOS, firmware and management are stable, and most engineering teams already know how to deploy and troubleshoot it — reducing risk in large storage builds.

Fits an existing DDR4 fleet

If your environment already runs 3rd-Gen Xeon and DDR4, adding the 5288 V6 keeps spares, memory and operational knowledge consistent. There is no need to introduce a new platform just to add capacity.

Still a capable two-socket server

Up to two processors, 32 DIMMs, ten PCIe slots and optional Optane give real compute and I/O headroom. This is a storage node that can also run local analytics, transcoding or storage services — not a dumb disk enclosure.

When to step up a generation instead: choose the V7 or V8 if you need DDR5, PCIe 5.0, higher memory bandwidth or the longest possible platform lifecycle for a brand-new cluster. For pure warm/cold capacity, the V6 is the value choice.

Typical workloads

Cold data & archive

Long-term retention and historical-data archiving at low cost. For archives that are written once and read rarely, the CPU generation barely matters — capacity, reliability and $/TB do. The mature Ice Lake platform lets you fill a rack with terabytes at the lowest entry price while keeping data on disk and instantly retrievable, rather than locked away on tape.

Video surveillance

Storage for video analysis and surveillance recording platforms. A single 4U node can absorb continuous streams from many cameras while meeting long retention windows. The remaining cores can handle motion indexing or export clips for review, so the recorder is not merely a passive disk shelf.

Cloud storage

Dense nodes for object, file and software-defined storage. Deploy the 5288 V6 as a capacity node in Ceph, MinIO or similar clusters, behind all-flash front-end nodes. Bulk replicas and erasure-coded data lands here, lowering the overall $/TB of the pool without changing the software your team already runs.

Big data

Media/entertainment and finance data processing and repositories. Historical partitions, raw media, compliance records and reference datasets fit naturally on dense disk. Two Xeon Scalable CPUs retain enough compute for periodic batch and analytics jobs that scan the data locally.

Which generation

5288 V6 vs V7 vs V8

The same 4U, 44-bay chassis across three generations, all factory-sealed with a 3-year warranty. The difference is platform age — match it to your budget and existing fleet.

	5288 V6	5288 V7	5288 V8
Processor	3rd Gen Xeon Scalable	4th/5th Gen Xeon Scalable	Intel Xeon 6
Memory	DDR4-3200 (+ Optane)	DDR5-4800	DDR5-6400 / MRDIMM-8000
PCIe	PCIe 4.0	PCIe 5.0	PCIe 5.0 / CXL 2.0
Best fit	Lowest-cost bulk capacity	Best price/feature balance	New clusters, longest lifecycle
Typical buyer	Extending an Ice Lake estate	Want DDR5 without newest-CPU premium	Fresh 5+ year deployments

Choose the V6 to maximise capacity per dollar or to stay consistent with an existing DDR4 fleet; step up to V7 for DDR5 and PCIe 5.0, and to V8 for the newest Xeon 6 platform. Tell us your workload and current servers and we will recommend the generation rather than simply quoting the most expensive option.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 5288 V6 a new or used server?

It is factory-sealed new old stock (NOS), never used and in original packaging. It is not a used or refurbished data-center pull, and carries a 3-year warranty.

How many drives and what memory does it support?

It holds up to 44 hot-swappable 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives plus 4 NVMe SSDs, with 32 DDR4 DIMM slots at up to 3200 MT/s and optional Optane PMem 200.

What processors does the 5288 V6 use?

One or two 3rd-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake, 8300/6300/5300/4300 series), up to 270W TDP.

Why choose the V6 instead of a newer generation?

For pure bulk and cold storage, workloads are often bound by disk capacity rather than CPU generation. The mature V6 platform offers excellent value and proven reliability at a lower acquisition cost.
