PowerEdge servers
Engineered by Dell, designed by you
PowerEdge servers are customer inspired and purpose built. We spend countless hours listening to customers
and then put our time and expertise into giving you the features you need to accomplish more, improve
efficiency, and ensure business continuity. Our latest generation of PowerEdge servers deliver innovations like:
• Express Flash PCIe solid-state drives—offer more transactions per second, resulting in faster interactions
• Agent-free server management—uses the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle
Controller, providing significant reductions in administration time
• The Dell fresh air program—allows servers to run at much higher ambient temperatures, saving tremendous
operational costs
• More widely integrated GPU technology—provides accelerated HPC research with high sustained GFlops
Our latest generation of servers responds to customer needs in the following areas:
• Memory capacity and scalability—much larger memory footprints
• Virtualization performance—more processor cores and denser memory
• Systems management—complete lifecycle management using iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller and
monitoring and update capabilities with OpenManage Essentials
• Energy efficiency—comprehensive optimizations, including Dell OpenManage™ Power Center
• Infrastructure flexibility—innovations like Select Network Adapters, offering more and better I/O options
• Reliability—even more RAS features, including a failsafe hypervisor option on most servers
Dell PowerEdge servers deliver value by taking technology that was previously overpriced, complex and
underutilized, and giving you the power to do more while saving time, money and resources.
