PowerEdge 2950 Rack Server, Xeon E5405 (2GHz/ 1333MHz/ 2x6MB), 2x2GB DDR2-667, 2x160GB-7200+4x750GB-7200-SATA (C2 PERC6/i), DVD-ROM
Performance Meets Ease of Use
Dell’s most versatile server, the PowerEdgeTM 2950 III offers superior 2-socket virtualization performance combined with optional, factory integrated virtualization capabilities. Dell continues to Simplify Virtualization by streamlining virtualization deployment and providing ease of use in virtual infrastructures. By factory integrating VMware® ESXi 3.5, customers receive VMware capabilities and migration of virtual machines within a few clicks of a mouse.
Use Energy Optimally
Power infrastructure and consumption already account for nearly half the cost of a typical data center and could soon represent half of the overall IT budget. To help enterprises address this challenge, the Dell PowerEdge 2950 III includes energy efficient components as well as optional onboard real-time power monitoring capabilities that can help reduce unnecessary power consumption. Dell is the only tier-one server vendor that is 100% committed to industry standards, which is why this solution adheres to the PMBus specification, enabling interoperability with other vendors’ products. Dell is the only major server vendor to offer a lineup of mainstream servers in which key components have been optimised for low energy consumption; one of these servers is the PowerEdge Energy Smart 1950 III.
Protect Your Information
Since 2005, over 165 million personal information data records have been compromised in the US alone1. Dell recognises the growing importance of information security and is committed to ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. Today’s PowerEdge servers are the most secure servers that Dell has ever produced.
The PowerEdge 2950 III server includes an industry standard Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which supports a variety of information security software packages that help customers reduce risk. The internal components on the PowerEdge 2950 III are physically and logically locked down, preventing unauthorised access. For example, customers deploying USB security tokens can install them in the internal USB port. The PowerEdge 2950 III PERC6/i RAID controller also now supports RAID levels 6 and 60, providing fault tolerance even in the event of a failure of two hard disks.
Enhance Performance
As your business grows the requirement for reliable, responsive server performance increases. The PowerEdge 2950 III server helps you meet ever expanding application and data requirements. The capabilities provided by the latest generation of Intel® Xeon® 64-bit dual and quad-core processors allow enhanced performance as well as improved data and application consolidation. Improved network interface options, including 10 Gigabit2 Ethernet, quad-port NIC and network interface teaming technology help utilise improved processor performance to provide a cost-effective method to enhance crucial network availability.
Simplify Management
Complex IT environments typically mean higher IT costs. The PowerEdge 2950 III includes features which can help to simplify server deployment and consolidation tasks. Dell delivers fully assembled and highly tested machines that don’t require expensive integration services. Remote management options including Wake-on-LAN and iSCSI boot help increase network manager productivity. The PowerEdge 2950 III also helps ease system administration with its choice of 2.5” or 3.5” drives, internal USB port and an optional internal DVD drive.
