Dell PowerEdge M620 Technical Manual page 5

Designed for your taxing workloads, such as email, database and virtual environments, the Dell
PowerEdge M620 blade server is an ideal blend of density, performance, efficiency and scalability.
The M620 delivers unprecedented memory density and superb performance with no compromise
on enterprise-class features.
Bring impressive new capabilities to your data center with the PowerEdge M620, which offers a
memory capacity of up to 768GB of RAM (using 32GB DIMMS—available Q2 2012) along with
® ®
scalable I/O capabilities. Powered by Intel Xeon E5 processors and Dell's unique Select Network
Adapter, our flexible NIC technology, the M620 provides the performance you require and allows
you to allocate your network throughput to match your application needs.
Your virtualization environments demand high memory capacity in order to maximize the number of
virtual machines per server, and the PowerEdge M620 was designed with this in mind. If you are
running high performance computing (HPC) application clusters, the M620 provides you with
outstanding computational density and powerful processing capability in a compact form factor.
Help manage your servers using the Dell OpenManage™ portfolio, including Dell's exclusive
Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller. iDRAC, an embedded
systems management feature, allows Dell servers to be managed in physical, virtual, local and
remote environments, either in-band or out-of-band and with or without a systems management
software agent. OpenManage also integrates and connects to leading third-party systems
management solutions you may already use, allowing you to maintain a single point of control and
capitalize on your existing investment. OpenManage simplifies the lifecycle of deploying, updating,
monitoring and maintaining your Dell PowerEdge servers.
Implement the right combination of features and performance scalability with the PowerEdge
M-series blade servers, which can handle tough workloads in a data center of any size. In addition to
the world-class management features provided in all PowerEdge servers, the M620 also takes
advantage of the capabilities of the Dell PowerEdge M1000e chassis management controller (CMC).
The CMC allows M-series blades to be managed individually or as groups, in single or multiple
chassis, and within a data center or in multiple geographically dispersed locations around the globe
without requiring a single agent or additional hardware. PowerEdge M-series blade servers use the
redundant power, cooling, and networking infrastructure provided by the M1000e blade enclosure,
which is exceptionally easy to deploy and manage and maximizes power and cooling efficiency.
