Specification Sheet

Strong IT foundation
You want a data center built for organic growth and the ability
to scale based on your company’s changing requirements. You
need complete solutions that let you focus your time and money
on managing and growing your business. Dell responds with an
expanding portfolio of enterprise servers, storage technologies,
and services with a single goal: to help you simplify IT.
Purposeful design
With Dell’s system commonality, once your IT managers learn
one system, they understand how to manage next-generation
Dell servers. Logical component layout and power supply
placement provide a straightforward installation and redeployment
experience. The PowerEdge R710 provides an interactive LCD
for system health monitoring, alerting, and control of basic
management as well as checking the AC power meter and
ambient temperature thermometer included with each server.
Enhanced virtualization
Featuring embedded hypervisors, large memory capacity with
18 DIMM slots, and 4 integrated network connections, the Dell
PowerEdge R710 delivers better overall system performance
and greater virtual machine-per-server capacity. The latest Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor technology adapts to your software in real time,
processing more tasks simultaneously. With optional
factory-integrated virtualization capabilities, you get tailored
solutions that allow you to streamline deployment and simplify
virtual infrastructures. Choose your hypervisor from market leaders
such as VMware, Citrix, and Microsoft, and enable virtualization
with a few mouse clicks.
Energy-optimized technologies
The PowerEdge R710 reduces power consumption while
increasing performance capacity versus previous generation
servers using Energy Smart technologies and standards-based
components along with right-sized ecient power supply units,
improved system-level design eciency, and policy-driven power
and thermal management. Dell’s advanced thermal control delivers
optimal performance at minimal power consumption without
compromising enterprise performance.
Simplified systems management
The Dell OpenManage™ suite oers enhanced operations and
standards-based commands designed to integrate with existing
systems for eective control.
Lifecycle Controller
Lifecycle Controller is the engine for advanced systems
management integrated on the server. Lifecycle Controller
simplifies administrator tasks to perform a complete set of
provisioning functions such as system deployment, system
updates, hardware configuration and diagnostics from a single
intuitive interface called Unified Server Configurator (USC) in a
pre-OS environment. This eliminates the need to use and maintain
multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD media.
Dell Management Console (DMC)
DMC, powered by Altiris™ from Symantec™, delivers a single view
and a common data source into the entire infrastructure. DMC is
an easily extensible, modular foundation that can provide basic
hardware management or more advanced functions such as asset
and security management. It helps reduce or eliminate manual
processes so less time and money is spent keeping the lights on
and more time can be spent on strategic uses of technology.
Dell Services
Dell Services can help reduce IT complexity, lower costs, and
eliminate ineciencies by making IT and business solutions work
harder for you. The Dell Services team takes a holistic view of your
needs and designs solutions for your environment and business
objectives while leveraging proven delivery methods, local talent,
and in-depth domain knowledge for the lowest TCO.
Dell PowerEdge R710
The Dell PowerEdge R710
server with the performance
of Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor
5500 and 5600 series oers
you a 2U rack to eciently
address a wide range of key
business applications.
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R710 helps you operate eciently and lower TCO with enhanced
virtualization capabilities, improved energy eciency, and innovative system management tools.
