the Dell™ POWeReDGe™ R610

The Dell PowerEdge R610 is a key building block for today’s data center. Designed for versatility and high performance,

it provides many of the virtualization, system management, and energy-eciency features you need now and the

scalability necessary to change as your business grows. This general-purpose Intel®-based 2-socket 1U server is ideal

for corporate data centers and remote sites that require a dense, highly available single- or dual-processor server at an

excellent value.

Featuring Intel® Xeon®-based architecture, embedded hypervisors, expanded memory footprint, and I/O, the Dell

PowerEdge R610 delivers exceptional overall system performance and signiﬁcant virtual machine-per-server capacity

versus the previous generation. With optional factory-integrated virtualization capabilities, you get tailored solutions –

built with the latest 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.

Dell’s advanced thermal control helps optimize performance while minimizing system power consumption, ultimately

driving energy eciency across our latest core data center servers. These enhancements, over previous generations,

include ecient power supply units right-sized for system requirements, improved system-level design eciency,

policy-driven power and thermal management, and highly ecient standards-based Energy Smart components. Dell's

advanced thermal control is designed to deliver optimal performance at minimum system and fan power consumption

resulting in our quietest mainstream 1U servers to date.

The R610 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.

Gain more control with the next-generation Dell OpenManage™ suite of management tools. These tools provide ecient

operations and standards-based commands designed to integrate with existing systems.

Dell Management Console (DMC) helps simplify operations and create stability by shrinking infrastructure management

to one console. This console delivers a single view and a common data source into the entire infrastructure management.

Built on Symantec

Management Platform, it has an easily extensible, modular foundation that can provide basic hardware

management all the way up to more advanced functions such as asset and security management. DMC is designed to

reduce or eliminate manual processes enabling you to save time and money for more strategic technology usage.

Secure, ecient, and more user friendly than its predecessors, the Dell Uniﬁed Server Conﬁgurator (USC) delivers “Instant On”

integrated manageability through a single access point. You get quick, persistent access to the tool because it is embedded

and integrated into the system for increased ﬂexibility and capabilities. The USC is a one-stop shop for deploying operating

systems with built-in driver installations, ﬁrmware updates, hardware conﬁguration, and issue diagnoses.
