Dell Poweredge Portfolio Guide
Dell Poweredge Portfolio Guide
Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers are built to support the work that IT organizations do. They are engineered
to handle the most demanding business applications and designed with specific features to better run
workloads like HPC, collaboration, database, ERP, business intelligence and data warehousing.
As the foundation for a complete, adaptive IT solution, Dell PowerEdge servers deliver dramatic performance
and management advantages that more effectively and efficiently power the business applications our
customers run most.
Combined with the innovative Dell OpenManage™ systems management portfolio and industry-leading
workload solutions, PowerEdge servers provide technology that is intelligent, yet simple, giving you the
power to do more in even the most complex environments.
Achieve more
Increase application performance and
availability while gaining scalability.
Maximize efficiency
Use IT to boost productivity and get the most
out of every dollar.
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 Dell 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 turning once overpriced, complex, and underutilized technologies into
solutions that save you time, money and resources.

Essentials
For cloud builders, high performance computing shops, telcos/hosters, Web 2.0 and big data applications, Dell PowerEdge C
platforms focus on solving hyperscale data center challenges, with problem solving innovation, streamlined feature sets, and
extensively proven performance and efficiency.
Proven effectiveness: PowerEdge C platforms are based on proven technologies the Dell Data Center Solutions (DCS) group has
delivered to some of the world’s largest hyperscale data centers looking for an IT competitive edge. Get that edge. Take advantage
of that experience, and the investment those companies have made in collaborative custom-design for performance and efficiency
at scale.
Problem-solving innovation: One size does not fit all. DCS starts by listening to
customer challenges and needs and then custom-designs platforms to solve those
challenges and meet those needs. The result: entirely new categories of servers such
as microservers and hyperscale servers, right-sized for your workloads and your
environment.
Efficiency: PowerEdge C servers have high performance per watt, performance per U
and performance per dollar. Designed for performance and efficiency, PowerEdge C
servers have a shared infrastructure: sharing chassis, fans and power supplies across
up to four server nodes in a 2U that can lower TCO considerably.
Data Center Solutions: DCS builds custom designs and delivers IT for some the
world’s largest search engine and cloud computing providers. For DCS, it all starts with you. Your unique challenges. Your unique
environment. It’s collaborative problem solving innovation, with designs proven at hyperscale. Get a competitive edge with some of
those custom designs more widely available in the PowerEdge C line, right-sized for scale-out performance and efficiency.
