December 8, 2006—Dell has unveiled two enhanced PowerEdge servers that underscore its commitment to environmental responsibility and its goal to design the most energy-efficient products, according to the company.
Dell has engineered its Energy Smart technology — which debuted in select corporate desktops in September — into PowerEdge 1950 and 2950 models to help decrease power consumption and reduce overall operating costs. The Dell PowerEdge Energy Smart 1950 and 2950 can deliver up to 25 percent greater performance per watt while reducing power consumption by up to 24 percent, the company says.
Customers can also benefit from the smaller energy footprint these products can deliver, says Dell, to drive increased density in the data center by deploying four PowerEdge Energy Smart servers within the same “power envelope” occupied today by three standard servers.
Dell combines the latest energy-efficient product designs and technologies with relevant services and partnerships as well as product lifecycle, sustainability and recycling programs.
Dell’s Data Center Environment Assessment Service helps businesses to assess, scope and plan data center power and cooling requirements prior to deployment. Businesses are also provided comprehensive assessments and remediation plans for HVAC, cooling and power delivery systems. Dell’s Data Center Capacity Planner can assist businesses to “right-size” rack deployments to take advantage of the latest advancements in technology and use of space.
