Dell PowerEdge R610 Datasheet

Dell PowerEdge R610
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R610 offers simplified management, purposeful design, and energy efficiency
combined in a rack server that can help you better manage your enterprise.
Strong IT foundation
The Dell PowerEdge R610 is a key building block for today's data
center. Designed for versatility and high performance, it provides
many of the virtualization, system management, and energy-
efficiency features you need now and the scalability necessary
to change as your business grows. This general purpose Intel
processor-based 2-socket 1U server is ideal for corporate data
centers and remote sites that require a dense, highly available
single- or dual-processor server at an excellent value.
Purposeful design
The PowerEdge R610 follows the eleventh generation PowerEdge
portfolio specifications and features the same system design
commonality and reliability true to the entire portfolio. All eleventh
generation servers are designed to make the experience easier.
We put all external ports, power supplies, LCD screens, and LED
lights in the same location for familiar experience as well as easy
installation and deployment.
Robust, metal hard drive carriers and organized cabling are
designed to help improve component access and airflow across
the server. The PowerEdge R610 provides an interactive LCD
screen or LED display positioned on the front of the server for ease
of monitoring and troubleshooting condition of the server.
Enhanced virtualization
Featuring Intel ® Xeon ® processor-based architecture, embedded
hypervisors, and expanded memory footprint and I/O, the Dell
PowerEdge R610 delivers exceptional overall system performance
and significant virtual machine-per-server capacity versus the
previous generation. With optional factory-integrated virtualization
capabilities, you get tailored solutions—built with the latest
technologies from Dell and our trusted partners—which allow
you to streamline deployment and simplify virtual infrastructures.
Choose your hypervisor from market leaders such as VMware
Citrix ® , and Microsoft ® , and enable virtualization with a few mouse
clicks.
Energy-optimized technologies
Dell's advanced thermal control helps optimize performance
while minimizing system power consumption, ultimately driving
energy efficiency across our latest core data center servers.
These enhancements, over previous generations, include efficient
power supply units right-sized for system requirements, improved
system-level design efficiency, policy-driven power and thermal
management, and highly efficient standards-based Energy Smart
components. Dell's advanced thermal control is designed to
deliver optimal performance at minimum system and fan power
consumption resulting in our quietest mainstream 1U servers to
date.

Simplified systems management

With the optional advanced embedded systems management
capabilities of Lifecycle Controller, Dell provides comprehensive
enterprise class manageability already on the motherboard.
Lifecycle Controller is delivered as part of the optional iDRAC
® Express or iDRAC Enterprise in the PowerEdge R610. The Lifecycle
Controller helps to simplify administrator tasks by performing
a comprehensive set of provisioning functions such as system
deployment, system updates, hardware configuration and
diagnostics from a single intuitive interface called Unified Server
Configurator (USC) in a pre-OS environment. This helps eliminate
the need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD
media.
Also part of the Dell OpenManage™ portfolio is the Dell
Management Console which is included with every Dell server
and provides IT administrators with a consolidated console view of
their IT infrastructure.
Dell Services
Dell Services can help reduce IT complexity, lower costs, and
eliminate inefficiencies by making IT and business solutions work
harder for you. The Dell Services team takes a holistic view of your
needs and designs solutions for your environment and business
objectives while leveraging proven delivery methods, local talent,
and in-depth domain knowledge for the lowest TCO.
