Dell has brought new PowerEdge Energy Smart 1950 and 2950 servers to the market. These new energy efficient servers are claimed to deliver up to 25% greater performance per watt while reducing power consumption by up to 24%.
Optimized specifically for power efficiency, the new servers incorporate power-optimizing features such as low-flow fan technology, high-efficiency power supplies, Dual-Core Intel Xeon low-voltage processors and factory integrated BIOS and unique component specifications designed for increased efficiency and air flow.
Dell claims that the new offerings also provide an ideal platform for consolidation and virtualization and allow customers to balance capacity demand within the same or reduced physical space and price range.
According to Dell the enhancements made in the new offerings can save hundreds of dollars per server every year, which can translate to millions of dollars per year in large data center deployments.
“New PowerEdge Energy Smart servers combined with Dell OptiPlex desktops and Dell’s services, partnerships and sustainability programs deliver on our commitment to drive energy-efficient solutions that increase performance and reduce power consumption from the desktop to the data center,” said Brad Anderson, senior vice president, Dell Product Group.
