The ThinkSystem SE350 is a purpose-built server that is half the width and significantly shorter than a traditional server, making it ideal for deployment in tight spaces. It can be mounted on a wall, stacked on a shelf or mounted in a rack. The ThinkSystem SE350 puts increased processing power, storage and network closer to where data is generated, allowing actions resulting from the analysis of that data to take place more quickly..<br><br>This product guide provides essential pre-sales information to understand the ThinkSystem SE350 edge server, its key features and specifications, components and options, and configuration guidelines. This guide is intended for technical specialists, sales specialists, sales engineers, IT architects, and other IT professionals who want to learn more about the SE350 and consider its use in IT solutions.<br><br>Introduction<br>The ThinkSystem SE350 is a purpose-built server that is half the width and significantly shorter than a traditional server, making it ideal for deployment in tight spaces.

The ThinkSystem SE350 fits the space between those two extremes. Its compact design, low power usage, and high performance are just the right combination for edge locations. The SE350 can be wall mounted, stacked on a shelf or installed in a rack. It is also designed to operate in rugged environments, up to 55°C.
