Rack Servers Dell Unmatched Performance

A

A Dell Rack Server is a space-efficient, high-performance computing platform designed for data centers, supporting scalable workloads, advanced management, and enterprise-grade reliability in a standardized 1U–4U rack form factor.

A

Dell offers PowerEdge R240, R340, R440, R540, R640, R740, R740xd, R840 and R940 rack servers, each optimized for specific workloads, memory densities, storage capacities and GPU or I/O expansion.

A

Select based on workload type, processor cores, memory capacity, storage requirements and network needs. Use Dell’s online configurator or consult a solutions architect to match server specifications to your performance and budget goals.

A

Dell Rack Servers support the latest Intel Xeon Scalable and AMD EPYC processors, offering up to 64 cores per CPU, multiple socket configurations, Turbo Boost and virtualization optimizations for diverse enterprise workloads.

A

Depending on the model, Dell Rack Servers support up to 24 DDR4 DIMM slots for single-socket systems or up to 32 slots for dual-socket systems, delivering up to 4TB memory with RDIMM/LRDIMM for in-memory databases and virtualization.

A

Dell Rack Servers offer flexible storage: SATA, SAS, NVMe SSDs and HDDs in hot-swap 2.5” or 3.5” bays, with internal RAID controllers, HBA or software-defined storage support for performance, capacity and data protection.

A

Dell Rack Servers feature 80 PLUS Platinum/Titanium power supplies, dynamic power capping, advanced thermal management and chassis airflow design, reducing energy consumption by up to 30% compared to previous generations.

A

Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller delivers agent-free firmware updates, hardware monitoring, remote console, and automation features via OpenManage Enterprise for efficient server management.

A

Yes. With multi-core processors, large memory capacities and support for VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V and KVM, Dell Rack Servers deliver virtual machine density and performance for private clouds, VDI and container environments.

A

Dell Rack Servers are designed for tool-less access and modular upgrades. You can add or replace CPUs, memory, storage drives, power supplies, network adapters and GPUs to scale performance or capacity as needs evolve.

A

Dell provides a one-year standard hardware warranty, with ProSupport and ProSupport Plus options for 24×7 technical assistance, on-site service, predictive analytics and hardware replacement within next business day or 4 hours.

A

Dell Rack Servers include Secure Boot, System Lockdown, BIOS recovery, cryptographically signed firmware, TPM 2.0, chassis intrusion detection and iDRAC authentication to protect against firmware threats and unauthorized access.

A

Access the iDRAC Lifecycle Controller during boot, navigate to Storage > Controllers, select RAID level (0, 1, 5, 6, 10), assign global hot spares and initialize arrays. Use OpenManage for ongoing RAID monitoring and management.

A

Dell Rack Servers offer onboard 1GbE or 10GbE ports, optional 25GbE/50GbE network interface cards, Fibre Channel HBAs and converged network adapters for high-speed connectivity, RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and iSCSI.

A

Mount servers in standard 19-inch racks using rail kits, connect redundant power supplies to UPS circuits, configure network and SAN cabling, initialize iDRAC for remote management, and follow Dell’s deployment guides for best practices.

A

Use OpenManage Enterprise or iDRAC Performance Dashboard to track CPU, memory, storage and network metrics. Set alerts for threshold breaches, automate reports and integrate with third-party tools via RESTful APIs or SNMP.
