Introduction

Increased Performance
The Lenovo ThinkServer RS160 is an excellent entry-server for growing businesses. Featuring powerful Intel® processors and enterprise-class storage and networking, it offers up to 12Gbps data transfer rate as well as 2x the memory and 33 percent more internal storage capacity than its predecessor. The RS160 is ideal for web hosting, mail serving, file-and-print serving, video streaming, as well as a wide range of general-purpose productivity applications.

Built-in Value and Flexibility
The RS160 features a full line of powerful Intel processors, from Celeron to Xeon®, and up to 64GB of DDR4 memory. It provides business flexibility with multiple storage types and form factors, including up to 16TB of internal storage and 32GB of M.2 drive support for additional scalability. Multiple server OSes are available and the rack is available with 2-post and 4-post rail rack-mounting options.

Customer Friendly
Lenovo servers continue to be rated the most reliable x86 servers on the market and have the highest customer satisfaction. The RS160 is no exception. Its shallow chassis depth promotes greater in-rack airflow and it has an 80 Plus Gold-certified power supply. Easy-to-use Lenovo XClarity system management tools* provide business-class reliability and management to reduce costs and downtime. These are the same tools used on Lenovo's high-end, two-socket rack systems.

Why Lenovo
