FusionServer 2288H V7 Server

Flagship 2U Server FusionServer 2288H V7 for Virtualization, Databases, and Cloud

FusionServer 2288H V7 is a flagship 2-socket enterprise-class server in a 2U rack form factor. The platform is developed by xFusion (formerly the server division of Huawei) and represents the most versatile “workhorse” in the brand’s portfolio. The server is optimized for a wide range of demanding enterprise workloads: cloud computing, large-scale virtualization, databases (OLTP/OLAP), software-defined storage (SDS), ERP/CRM systems, and local AI inference. The server is built on the high-speed PCIe Gen 5.0 bus, DDR5 memory, and features an advanced modular drive bay architecture.

Thanks to its record number of backplane combinations and support for the latest EDSFF drives, the 2288H V7 adapts to any workload profile — from ultra-high-capacity local storage to high-speed databases and cloud infrastructures. This makes it the optimal choice for both consolidating existing infrastructure and building new data centers.

Use Cases

The FusionServer 2288H V7 is the optimal solution for organizations requiring:

• Cloud computing and private clouds
• Large-scale virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM)
• Databases (OLTP/OLAP, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL)
• Software-defined storage (SDS: Ceph, vSAN, Nutanix)
• Enterprise-scale ERP and CRM systems
• Local AI inference and machine learning workloads
• Workloads requiring high storage density and performance

Compute Subsystem

The server supports two 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Sapphire Rapids) or 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Emerald Rapids) processors. The server supports top-tier CPUs with TDP up to 350 W and up to 64 cores per socket (a total of up to 128 cores and 256 threads per system). Built-in Intel hardware accelerators (AMX, DSA, QAT, DLB, IAA) are supported, speeding up AI inference, encryption, and data processing workloads.

Memory

The server provides 32 DIMM slots (16 per socket). It supports high-speed DDR5 ECC RDIMM server memory at speeds up to 5600 MT/s. Maximum RAM capacity reaches 4 TB (with 128 GB modules) or up to 8 TB with specialized 256 GB 3DS RDIMM modules. Memory Mirroring, Memory Sparing, and ADDDC modes are supported for fault tolerance.

Flexible Storage Subsystem (Hot-Swap)

The chassis design supports a record number of backplane combinations on the front, mid, and rear panels:

• Up to 20 × 3.5″ (LFF) SAS/SATA HDDs for building ultra-high-capacity local storage
• Up to 28 × 2.5″ (SFF) SAS/SATA/NVMe SSDs for high-speed databases
• Up to 36 × EDSFF (E1.S / E3.S) NVMe drives of the latest energy-efficient form factor for extreme density and maximum IOPS
• OS Boot: support for internal M.2 SSD modules (2 units) with hardware RAID 1, or up to two hot-swap 7mm / 2.5″ rear drives

Graphics Accelerators (GPU)

The server architecture supports up to 4 double-wide GPUs up to 300 W each or up to 8 compact single-wide cards at 75 W each (such as NVIDIA L4) for VDI terminals and machine learning workloads. This makes the 2288H V7 a versatile platform for inference, video analytics, and GPU-accelerated virtualization.

Expansion Slots and Networking

The server provides up to 14 PCIe slots (depending on the selected riser cards, including PCIe Gen5 lanes), plus 2 dedicated OCP 3.0 network slots supporting cards from 1GbE to 100/200GbE without sacrificing standard expansion lanes. This configuration allows simultaneous installation of GPU accelerators, RAID controllers, high-speed network adapters, and expansion cards without compromises.

Reliability, Energy Efficiency, and Management

• Remote Management. Monitoring, diagnostics, and deployment are handled by the embedded proprietary iBMC service processor, providing an advanced web interface, KVM-over-IP support, Redfish REST API protocols, and the intelligent FDM (Fault Diagnosis Management) self-diagnostic system with fault localization accuracy up to 93%.
• Power. The fault-tolerant system includes two redundant hot-swap power supplies rated at 900 W, 1300 W, 1600 W, 2000 W, or 2400 W with the highest Platinum / Titanium (up to 96%+) efficiency rating. The proprietary DEMT dynamic power management technology reduces total server idle power consumption by up to 15%.
• Cooling. An array of 4 counter-rotating high-power fans with hot-swap support and N+1 redundancy. When top-tier CPUs are installed, advanced heatsinks with phase-change vapor chambers are used.
