Ideal for your IT needs, Dell PowerEdge servers are scalable and efficient servers deployed in any IT environment to deliver high performance computing solutions at a low cost of ownership.
BASIC MODELS
Dell 1U Rackmount servers are ideal for data centers and environments where rack space is limited. From basic entry-level systems to high-performance and enterprise-level systems, 1U rack servers with a wide range of options and configurations to suit almost any requirement and budget.!
Dell 2U Rackmount servers are ideal for a flexible and easy scalable configuration as they can be configured to fit the widest range of server roles! They have an increased level of redundancy and reliability to support a wide range of critical and general business applications for small and medium businesses and enterprises.
Dell Tower Servers are the best choice for SMBs, branch offices, are a great choice for small businesses or remote offices that need local application service in a standalone tower form factor where a server rack might not fit! PowerEdge tower servers are configurable to a variety of specifications to fit almost any SMB server role!
PROCESSORS
The processor or CPU responds and processes the instructions that control the system.
These instructions include basic arithmetic, logic, and input/output operations. Processor performance is determined by the following main indicators:
Clock speed: refers to the speed at which the processor can execute instructions. Higher clock speeds process more instructions per second if all other factors are equal. This measure is specified in gigahertz (GHz).
Cores: Multiple cores allow the CPU to multiply the number of cycles the CPU can perform per second, since each core can execute its cycles in parallel with other cores. The number of cores per processor varies from dual core to 28 cores. The core count is especially important for virtual environments or cases where the system will process many concurrent requests.
Cache: The built-in memory of the processor significantly affects the performance of the processor by allowing the processor to quickly access recently used information. This measure is specified in megabytes (MB). In general, a higher cache provides better processor performance.
RAM
Memory plays an important role in system performance, software support, and scalability.
System memory is where your server or workstation temporarily stores current programs and data that are in use, which is especially important for users who plan to run multiple programs or applications at the same time. System Performance: Total system memory capacity is an important factor in overall performance. Too little memory will slow down your system and limit your processor's performance potential. The type of memory (DDR2, DDR3, DDR4, etc.) will determine how fast your memory will run, and generally the latest memory technology such as DDR3 or DDR4 will provide the best performance. Software support. New programs and operating systems, including virtualization platforms, require more memory than previous releases. Be sure to check the minimum OEM hardware requirements, consider the number of users or virtual machines, and plan for further expansion. Long term scalability: The configuration you choose will determine to what extent you can add more memory to your system in the future. Selecting the required capacity with the fewest memory modules will provide additional DIMM slots for further expansion.
HARD DRIVES
SATA hard drives offer the lowest cost per gigabyte (GB) as well as higher energy efficiency than SAS. SATA drives are most economical for low-frequency access, streaming, and serial-type data such as file sharing, email, Internet, data backup, and archiving.
SAS hard drives are generally considered more reliable than SATA because they are designed to withstand 24/7 use in enterprise applications. Data transfer rates take precedence over capacity in SAS drives. SAS drives provide better performance for high-frequency data with immediate random access, such as databases, CRM, or banking transactions. SAS drives offer higher capacity and higher spindle speeds than SATA without sacrificing reliability.
Solid State Drives (SSDs) provide higher input/output operations per second (IOP) performance than traditional spinning drives, making them an excellent choice for transactional workloads such as databases, CRM, or banking transactions. In addition, SSDs offer higher power efficiency than spinning SAS.
