The Dell™ PowerEdge™ M710HD blade server helps you run business applications efficiently, reduce your data center footprint, ease data management and trim system maintenance time.
The M710HD is a data center virtualization-optimized blade that offers tremendous IO throughput, maximized memory density, and robust optional Intel® Xeon® 5600 processing power, all in an ultra-dense form factor with enterprise class high availability. The M710HD is the first Dell M-Series server with a flexible network daughtercard (NDC) designed to allow for future integrated connectivity options.
Rack-dense performance
Unleash the power of massive IO throughput, core-rich Intel Xeon processors and an abundance of DD3 DIMMs on your toughest data center workloads. With massive I/O throughput, powerful multi-core processing and ultra-high density memory options, the PowerEdge M710HD blade server can let you flex your data center muscles while taking on the toughest workloads. Flexible and robust IO deployment is achievable through multiple iSCSI, Ethernet, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand options with additional future integrated network connectivity through the network daughtercard (NDC). Processing power from up to 12 Intel Xeon 5600 series cores and maximized RAM density with 18 DIMM slots allows for condensed full-height blade horsepower and cost-efficient DDR3 memory scaling in an ultra-dense form factor.
Increase your capability to deploy virtualized solutions that can reduce power consumption while increasing performance capacity. The expanded addressable memory in the PowerEdge M710HD allows you to utilize more virtual machines from your existing hypervisor licensing, helping you save money and increase your virtualized deployments using existing resources. Optimized airflow design coupled with high-efficiency fans and power supplies enable the Dell M1000e blade enclosure to effectively power and cool PowerEdge M710HD servers while helping to reduce overall power draw. This allows you to reclaim power for use elsewhere in your data center, save on operational costs, and help the environment.
Spend more time on your business and less on maintaining your IT with embedded system management features on the PowerEdge M710HD and the Chassis Management Controller (CMC). The PowerEdge M710HD blade server is designed to ease your mind and reduce your operating costs delivering the closest thing to a worry-free data center. Optional failsafe embedded hypervisors and HDD fault tolerance through a hardware RAID controller offer protective redundancy that safeguards your organization’s data from loss or corruption. Simplified systems management is achieved through automated discovery which automates configuration of new hardware and enables pre-provisioning of LAN/SAN resources.
