From requirements to delivery
CPU platform first
1288 V8 and 2288 V8 use Xeon 6 6500P/6700P/6700E; 2288H V8 uses Xeon 6 6900P. The AMD 2158H V8 is single-socket, while 2258H V8 is dual-socket. These are separate configuration paths.
Storage density with a defined layout
5288 and 5298 configurations address drive density; 2488H and 5885H address four-socket requirements. Specify usable capacity, drive type, controller, network and rebuild requirements. Alternative front, rear and NVMe bay maxima cannot simply be added together.
Plan order and expansion dates
As of 7 November 2026, 2288 V7 has EOM scheduled for 31 January 2027; 2258H, 2488H and 5885H V7 for 31 March 2027. Compare the configuration and expansion timetable with these future order milestones. 1158H V8 is listed below for support identification.
Send the intended workload and configuration so we can define supply, integration and support scope.
