Dell EMS PowerEdge 2950 Server

The Dell PowerEdge 2950 Server offers configuration flexibility in a 2U chassis for organizations that require space-conscious internal storage capacity rather than an external storage system. Six internal hard drive bays provide up to 4.5TB1 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.

The Dell PowerEdge 2950 server supports up to two Quad-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.
