Description
Overview
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R610 is a 2-socket 1U rack server that offers simplified management,
purposeful design, and energy efficiency that can help you better manage your enterprise IT
environment.
Strong IT Foundation
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-efficiency
features you need now and the scalability necessary to change as your business grows. This general
purpose Intel®
processor-based 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.
Customer-Inspired Design
Dell PowerEdge 11th generation servers are designed to meet customer needs with excellent
reliability, security, and commonality to make the experience easier. We put all external ports,
power supplies, LCD screens, and LED lights in the same location for a familiar experience as well as
easy installation and deployment.
The PowerEdge R610 embodies the Dell PowerEdge 11th generation portfolio specifications. The R610
features robust metal hard drive carriers and organized cabling, designed to help improve component
access and airflow across the server. The R610 also has either an interactive LCD screen or an LED
display positioned on the front of the server for easy monitoring and troubleshooting.
Enhanced Virtualization
Featuring Intel®
Xeon®
processors, embedded hypervisors, and expanded memory footprint and I/O,
the Dell PowerEdge R610 delivers exceptional overall system performance and significant virtual
machine-per-server capacity. 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.
Energy Efficient
The PowerEdge R610 incorporates Energy Smart design using efficient power supply units, low-flow
fans, and a logical component layout of the internal components which aids airflow direction,
helping keep the server cool and reduce noise as much as possible. In addition, advanced thermal
control helps optimize performance while minimizing system power consumption. This provides
better energy efficiency with policy-driven power and thermal management and highly efficient
standards-based Energy Smart components.
Easy to Manage
The PowerEdge R610 lets you devote more focus to running your business. The optional advanced
embedded systems management engine, Lifecycle Controller, automates common management
tasks, and gives you zero-media, low-touch deployment that is efficient, secure, and user-friendly.
Lifecycle Controller works with the standard iDRAC Express or optional iDRAC Enterprise to help
simplify administrator tasks by performing a comprehensive 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 helps eliminate the
need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD media. With Dell Lifecycle Controller
server deployment automation, the R610 can be up and running fast.
Also part of the Dell OpenManage™ portfolio is the Dell Management Console (DMC) which is included
with every Dell server and provides IT administrators with a consolidated console view of their IT
infrastructure.
