Oracle Server X5-2L is Oracle’s 2U two-socket x86 rack server, designed to combine compute power with large direct-attached storage capacity for big data analytics, Oracle Database, ZFS storage and engineered system deployments. It supports one or dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 series processors, with up to 18 cores per socket. Dual CPU configuration unlocks the full memory and I/O capability of the platform.

The server has 24 DDR4 DIMM slots for dual-processor mode, supporting RDIMM and LRDIMM modules, with maximum memory capacity of 768GB running at 2133 MT/s; single-CPU configuration supports up to 384GB memory. It offers multiple factory drive cage options: up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS HDDs, or up to twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA SSD/HDD, plus optional PCIe NVMe SSDs for low-latency flash acceleration. It provides six PCIe Gen3 expansion slots to accommodate SAS HBAs, InfiniBand HCAs, 10G network adapters and flash accelerators.

X5-2L integrates four onboard 10GBase-T Ethernet ports. Redundant hot-swappable power supplies and hot-swappable fan modules guarantee continuous 24/7 operation. Oracle ILOM delivers remote KVMS, hardware monitoring and fault diagnosis. Fully certified with Oracle Linux, Oracle Solaris, Oracle VM and VMware, X5-2L is widely deployed as storage and compute nodes for Oracle Big Data Appliance, Recovery Appliance and on-premises ZFS storage clusters.
