Dell has unveiled two servers designed to reduce overall
power consumption and deliver improvements in performance per watt
for enterprise customers.
Dell’s
PowerEdge 2970 and PowerEdge Energy Smart
2970 will be equipped with the new Dual Dynamic Power
Management feature, ready to enable optimised quad-core
performance and power management.
Both servers are designed to handle multiple generations of AMD
Opteron processors, providing an upgrade path to quad-core and
allowing customers to increase computing capacity.
The PowerEdge 2970 is engineered to draw up to 34% less power,
and deliver up to 105% greater performance per watt over the
previous generation of Dell servers featuring dual-core processors,
said Dell.
Jay Parker, director of Dell PowerEdge Servers, said “We’re
committed to help with comprehensive offerings that reduce total
cost of ownership through virtualisation, energy efficiency and
accelerating multi-core adoption.”
The Dell PowerEdge 2970 is now available, starting at £1,000.
The PowerEdge Energy Smart 2970 will be available in the coming
weeks.
