Dell PowerEdge Tower Servers Provide a Dependable Networking Base

The x86 architecture is exclusive to Dell PowerEdge products. Earlier tower server versions were built around the Itanium processor from Intel, but Dell quit including Itanium technology in 2005 due to minimal market demand. Intel processors remained to be the sole processor for approximately another year. In 2006 Dell PowerEdge tower servers began implementing AMD Opteron processors because the chipset consistency allowed for the use of standard driver sets. Original equipment manufacturers and value-added resellers offer this hardware with many customization options.

Dell continues to increase both device functionality and power and offer provider solutions in conjunction with this supplied hardware. The providers' goal is to help businesses achieve an all-around solution with the correct implementation of hardware and service.

Dell Servers: Continuous Evolution Brings Many Choices to the Table

These particular Dell servers all include standard components with a few additional perks. PowerEdge towers contain a RAID controller that provides superior data protection and enables the controller to fix bad RAID sectors, among other items. Eleven generations have provided continuous improvements to businesses preferring these products.

When the tenth generation models were created, Dell's naming conve

ntion changed. Products are now named with a code consisting of four characters. A letter signifying server type is accompanied by three numbers, indicating the socket count, hardware generation, and CPU. Servers may be labeled with a T (Tower), M (Modular), or R (Rack). The number of available sockets ranges between one, two, and four. Generation ten is represented by a zero, while generation eleven can be identified with a one. Processor identification can be in the form of a zero or five, with five representing the AMD line, while those containing Intel processors are represented with zero.

Multiple Dell server designs are available to the business sector today. Each is designed for high-performance operations and offers Dual-Core processing capabilities. Additional features include hardware virtualization technology, large storage capacity, added network capability, and improved scalability. Dell storage products focus on future growth as well as currently needed storing capacity. Servers are the beginning point for any business. As data size increases, direct or network storage devices can be included for additional space accessible by clients.

Storage focuses on three specific business growth items: capacity expansion, file sharing, and storage consolidations. Hardware is being continually developed to improve these focus areas and is available through multiple reputable providers. Dell creates innovative hardware products designed to meet the demands of business consumers.

Dell PowerEdge tower servers are the first storage device a business uses for network resource management. Additional storage devices can be added as the need for expansion becomes present, and may be used to manage printer or databases. Setup is usually dedicated to one process or a set of procedures. A multiprocessing operating system may be used to allow many programs to execute at the same time. With multiple generational models available and two CPU
