PowerEdge servers
Engineered by Dell, designed by you
PowerEdge servers are customer inspired and purpose built. We spend countless hours listening to customers
and then put our time and expertise into giving you the features you need to accomplish more, improve
efficiency, and ensure business continuity. Our latest generation of PowerEdge servers deliver innovations like:
Express Flash PCIe solid-state drivesoffer more transactions per second, resulting in faster interactions
Agent-free server managementuses the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle
Controller, providing significant reductions in administration time
The Dell fresh air programallows servers to run at much higher ambient temperatures, saving tremendous
operational costs
More widely integrated GPU technologyprovides accelerated HPC research with high sustained GFlops

Our latest generation of servers responds to customer needs in the following areas:
Memory capacity and scalabilitymuch larger memory footprints
Virtualization performancemore processor cores and denser memory
Systems managementcomplete lifecycle management using iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller and
monitoring and update capabilities with OpenManage Essentials
Energy efficiencycomprehensive optimizations, including Dell OpenManage Power Center
Infrastructure flexibilityinnovations like Select Network Adapters, offering more and better I/O options
Reliabilityeven more RAS features, including a failsafe hypervisor option on most servers

Dell PowerEdge servers deliver value by taking technology that was previously overpriced, complex and
underutilized, and giving you the power to do more while saving time, money and resources.

PowerEdge C servers
Problem-solving innovation for proven performance and hyper-efficiency at scale

For cloud builders, high performance computing shops, telcos/hosters, Web 2.0 and big data applications, Dell PowerEdge C
platforms focus on solving hyperscale data center challenges, with problem solving innovation, streamlined feature sets, and
extensively proven performance and efficiency.

Proven effectiveness: PowerEdge C platforms are based on proven technologies the Dell Data Center Solutions (DCS) group has
delivered to some of the worlds largest hyperscale data centers looking for an IT competitive edge. Get that edge. Take advantage
of that experience, and the investment those companies have made in collaborative custom-design for performance and efficiency
at scale.

Problem-solving innovation: One size does not fit all. DCS starts by listening to
customer challenges and needs and then custom-designs platforms to solve those
challenges and meet those needs. The result: entirely new categories of servers such
as microservers and hyperscale servers, right-sized for your workloads and your
environment.

Efficiency: PowerEdge C servers have high performance per watt, performance per U
and performance per dollar. Designed for performance and efficiency, PowerEdge C
servers have a shared infrastructure: sharing chassis, fans and power supplies across
up to four server nodes in a 2U that can lower TCO considerably.

Data Center Solutions: DCS builds custom designs and delivers IT for some the
worlds largest search engine and cloud computing providers. For DCS, it all starts with you. Your unique challenges. Your unique
environment. Its collaborative problem solving innovation, with designs proven at hyperscale. Get a competitive edge with some of
those custom designs more widely available in the PowerEdge C line, right-sized for scale-out performance and efficiency.
