RELY ON DELL FOR THE LATEST PROVEN TECHNOLOGIES

As reliance on computerized information has grown, so have threats related to its security. The latest PowerEdge servers are Dell’s most secure servers yet. To protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, Dell has included a variety of features, such as a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), more features within the lockable chassis, and new RAID controller cards that protect against the failure of two drives.

We offer the latest proven technology, such as a pair of quad-core Intel® Xeon® processors and a variety of network interface options. Together, these components are designed to dramatically boost performance.

Dell knows that the management of technology often costs more than the technology itself. So we’ve worked to include many features to simplify the task. Whether you want to work locally using USB flash drives or DVDs, or remotely via Wake-on-LAN or iSCSI boot, these servers offer greatly improved flexibility. Finally, the PowerEdge Behavioral Specification simplifies management by enforcing consistency in user interaction and hardware layout. For more information on the PowerEdge 2900 III
