Dell’s Innovative 9th Generation PowerEdge Servers

Through innovative hardware design, software commonality and continued focus on fewer system updates, Dell’s 9thgeneration PowerEdge servers help reduce the complexity involved in managing data, whether you are a large enterprise ora small business. These servers are designed to a Dell™-developed Behavioral Specification that defines consistent hardware layout and user interaction across all server models in this and future PowerEdge generations. Plus, a shared master system image with 1950 and 2900 enables updates to BIOS, system drivers, firmware, operating systems and applications from one easy-to-copy template for simplified software management. Featuring the latest Intel® Xeon® processors, the 9th generation PowerEdge servers offer the power and performance you expect from Dell.

Dell PowerEdge 2950 Packs Flexibility and Storage Capacity in 2U Format 

The Dell PowerEdge 2950 Server offers configuration flexibility in a 2U chassis for organizations that requirespace-conscious internal storage capacity rather than an external storage system. Six internal hard drive bays provide up to 2TB of internal storage helping to conserve valuable data center space while supplying enough storage space to accommodate growing applications. Designed to help organizations keep up with changing requirements, the server includes several embedded functions, like dual Gigabit NIC‘s and integrated SAS storage controller, which allows three available PCI Express™ slots. These enable flexible expansion to support a wide variety of data center workloads.

High Performance and Availability to Maximize Uptime  

The Dell PowerEdge 2950 server supports up to two of the latest dual-core Intel Xeon processors and the Intel 5000X chipset. These latest processors provide increased performance and performance/watt2. With the new capability to support eight 2.5" SAS drives, the 2950 also provides enough room to stripe data onto multiple drives for high performance in demanding environments. Additionally, exceptional memory throughput and capacity is achieved with as much as 32GB of fully-buffered DIMM memory. The server includes PCI Express technology for excellent I/O throughput, and TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) which offloads the TCP/IP processing to a dedicated processor on the embedded NIC‘s for CPU performance gains. And with features like hot plug power supplies/fans, RAID configurations with battery backed cache, and an internal tape drive option for local data backup, the Dell PowerEdge 2950 helps ensure your data is protected and accessible.

Manageability for Reduced Complexity 

The Dell PowerEdge 2950 server is equipped with a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that includes a complete set of tools that monitors server hardware, alerts you when server faults occur and enables basic remote operations. For environments with servers located in secure data centers or in sites with no IT staff, Dell offers an optional feature for PowerEdge servers, the Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC). Operated through a Web-based graphic user interface, DRAC can enable remote access, monitoring, troubleshooting, repair and upgrades independent of the  operating system status. Common software with the same family of PowerEdge 9th generation servers further helps simplify management. Plus, the Dell Behavioral Specification means one familiar platform for less complex deployment, management and serviceability as well as lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over multiple generations of PowerEdge servers.

Dell PowerEdge 2950 64-bit Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 series processors servers

The 2-socket PowerEdge 2950 delivers next-generation performance combined with a balance of internal expandability and rack density. Perfect for network infrastructure applications such as web, messaging, database and file/print consolidation, the PowerEdge 2950 delivers both the performance customers need with the drive capacity demanded for growing applications. It?s the perfect balance available in a rack-dense 2U form factor.

The PowerEdge 2950 also provides up to 8 internal hard drive bays in its 2U chassis, allowing up to 4.5TB1 of internal storage for applications that require capacity but not enough to merit an external storage system.
