Dell PowerEdge R900 Rack Server

Dell's most powerful Intel server, the PowerEdge R900 offers outstanding virtualization performance in a 4-socket server combined with optional, factory integrated virtualization capabilities. Dell continues to Simplify Virtualization by streamlining virtualization deployment and providing ease of use in virtual infrastructures. By factory integrating VMware®  ESXi 3.5, customers receive VMware capabilities and migration of virtual machines within a few clicks of a mouse.

Our virtualization-ready server configurations provide an easy path to virtualization through factory-integrated hypervisors and recommended hardware configurations that support an ideal virtual infrastructure.

Simplified Management
Simplify your IT infrastructure with standardized technologies, improved management capabilities and powerful performance on Dell's latest quad-core rack system. Rely on advanced power monitoring and an energy efficient design to run demanding Enterprise applications in a data center environment.

Quad-Core Performance
Run demanding applications with the Dell PowerEdge R900 4-socket, 4U rack server, Dell's most powerful Intel-based system to date offering more internal expandability and essential high availability features. Count on 154% faster information processing than current HP DL580 G4 four-socket servers1 and world-class performance per watt to help run the most demanding enterprise applications. This next-generation server is designed to offer a dramatic performance boost at a lower energy consumption rate for large memory and compute-intensive solutions including database, server consolidation, and virtualization.

Standards-based Monitoring
Monitoring capabilities for power sensitive and virtual environments are available in a single, easy-to-use interface with the Dell OpenManage suite of management tools. Because key data center management capabilities shouldn't be a costly endeavor, Dell is returning power and control of the datacenter to IT professionals without the premiums typically charged. Now, complete critical tasks in seconds, not hours. Dell will be first in the industry to deliver critical inline hard drive firmware updates – no downtime required.

Factory-Tested, Certified Solution
Simplify the deployment process by implementing the PowerEdge R900 as part of an Enterprise solution that was tested by Dell and industry leading hardware and software partners such as EMC® , Microsoft® , RedHat® , Novell® , Oracle®  , SAP®  and VMware® .

Enhanced Technology
Designed to address information security concerns, the PowerEdge R900 provides security enhancing features such as the industry standard and software enabled Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a locked-down internal USB port and a chassis intrusion sensor to help organizations manage security risks.

Availability Without Compromise
By providing hot-plug redundant power supplies and hard drives, plus multiple RAID options including support for RAID 6, the PowerEdge R900 addresses the need for high availability without sacrificing expandability. Redundant NICs and redundant cooling fans help keep the servers running smoothly.

Flexibility through Standardization
Dell's Advanced Computing behavioral specification allows for easy deployment. System design, component layouts and labeling similar to previous-generation Dell PowerEdge Servers reduce the learning curve as new server platforms are added to the IT environment. Enjoy easy serviceability with tool-less chassis access and ‘one click' accessibility to most key internal components.
