Dell’s Innovative 9th Generation PowerEdge Servers
Through innovative hardware design, software commonality and continued focus on fewer system updates, Dell’s 9th generation PowerEdge servers help reduce the complexity involved in managing data, whether you are a large enterprise or a 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 2950 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 1950 Delivers Performance in a Space-Conscious Form Factor
The Dell PowerEdge 1950 server provides exceptional performance and availability for organizations that require high-powered processing capability in a space-constricted data center. The rack-dense 1U server features 64-bit, Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors and the latest in chipset, memory and I/O technology. The result is incredible performance and
scalability to handle heavy workloads today and in the future without data center sprawl.
The Dell PowerEdge 1950 includes twice the memory capacity of 8th generation servers with up to 32GB of fully-buffered DIMM memory which allows scalability and greater performance, especially in virtualized workloads. PCI
-Express™ I/O slots support high performance Ethernet, RAID, InfiniBand and Fibre Channel interconnects while helping to provide investment protection for future technologies.
Finally, Serial Attach SCSI (SAS) hard drives can deliver some of the highest possible performance available with the next generation storage technology while SATA drive options offer greater value for systems that rely on internal or external storage and fiber channel storage options.
Availability to Help Maximize Uptime Without Sacrificing Density
Now you don’t have to compromise space for redundancy and availability. The Dell PowerEdge 1950 server maximizes redundancy with hot-plug redundant power supplies, hot-plug hard drives accessible through the front of the server and redundant cooling.
It also includes dual embedded GB NIC's and PCI slots on separate buses for flexible expandability. Additionally, optional integrated RAID controller with battery-backed cache offers improved reliability and system uptime.
Manageability for Reduced Complexity
The Dell PowerEdge 1950 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.
