The Dell PowerEdge T610 server is a key data center building block for IT professionals seeking the highest level of performance, availability, and expandability in a 2-socket server.
Ideally suited for small and medium businesses and remote office customers, the T610 delivers enhanced virtualization, improved design, and energy efficiency in a server engineered to address both your current and future business needs.
A solid IT foundation is critical for business success. The Dell PowerEdge T610 contributes to your IT foundation by offering many of the virtualization, system management, and usability capabilities you need while providing impressive power and thermals for overall energy efficiency. This mainstream two socket Intel™ based tower server includes a rack-mount option and supports mission critical applications and data processing.
The T610 takes advantage of 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 also provide a straightforward installation and redeployment experience. Inspired by IT professionals, the T610 is built to simplify daily operations and maximize uptime.
In addition, Dell PowerEdge servers provide a graphical and interactive LCD for system health monitoring, alerting, and control of basic management configuration right in the front of the server. Customers have an AC power meter and ambient temperature thermometer built into the server that they can monitor on this display without any software tools.
Using the latest Energy Smart technologies, the T610 helps reduce power consumption while increasing performance capacity over previous generations of Dell towers. Enhancements include efficient power supply units right-sized for system requirements, effective system-level design efficiency, policy-driven power and thermal management, and highly efficient standards-based Energy Smart components. These features are designed to maximize energy usage across our latest core data center servers without compromising performance.
Featuring Intel Xeon processor 5500 and 5600 series, embedded hypervisors, 100% integrated I/O, and up to 100% more memory capacity than the previous server generations, the Dell PowerEdge T610 delivers better overall system performance and greater virtual machine-per-server capacity than ever before.
With optional factory-integrated virtualization capabilities, you get tailored solutions—built with the latest industry-standard technologies from Dell and our trusted partners—which 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.
