1 Product Comparison
1.1 Overview
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ T610 is a tower form-factor server designed to deliver the highest levels of
performance, availability and expandability in a two-socket server. Featuring up to two powerful
Intel
® processors, the T610 offers large memory capacity, high I/O bandwidth and extensive storage
capacity, satisfying today’s compute requirements and also allowing it to grow as your business
grows. The T610 features straightforward systems management to ease IT administration and energy
efficiency to help manage power consumption and budget.
1.1.1 Customer-Inspired Design
Inspired by our customers, the T610 is built to simplify daily operations and maximize uptime.
Logical component layout and power supply placement provide a straightforward installation and
deployment experience. Dell PowerEdge servers provide a graphical and interactive LCD panel in the
front of the server, used for monitoring system health, assessing alerts and performing configuration.
The T610 has an AC power meter and ambient temperature thermometer built into the server which
can be monitored on the display without any software tools. Moreover, the T610 takes advantage of
Dell’s system commonality. Once your IT managers learn one system, they understand how to
manage all of Dell’s 11
th generation (11G) servers.
1.1.2 Energy Efficient
The T610 helps reduce power consumption while delivering higher performance than previous
generations of Dell tower servers. Enhancements include the latest highly efficient, standards-based
Energy Smart components, updated energy-efficient power supply units (PSUs) and power and
thermal management that can be automated at the convenience of the system administrator. The
T610 can help to reduce power consumption and budget and ease the day of the systems
administrator as well.
1.1.3 Enhanced Virtualization
Featuring the Intel ® Xeon ® processor 5500 and 5600 series, up to 100% more memory capacity than
the previous server generations, integrated I/O and embedded hypervisors, the Dell PowerEdge T610
delivers better overall system performance and greater virtual machine-per-server capacity than
ever before.
With optional factory-integrated virtualization capabilities, tailored solutions can be created,
allowing you to streamline deployment and reduce the time taken to deliver new solutions to your
user base. For example, choose your hypervisor from market leaders such as VMware, Citrix and
Microsoft, and enable virtualization with a few mouse clicks.
1.1.4 Easy to Manage
The Dell OpenManage™ portfolio of systems management offerings streamline and simplify
operational tasks throughout the complete server lifecycle, from initial provisioning and deployment
to ongoing monitoring, troubleshooting and problem resolution, to applying BIOS and driver updates
and pulling administrative reports. Based on open standards, Dell OpenManage™ systems
management capabilities can be applied locally and to remote systems, remaining available out-of-
band, independent of the operating system (OS) state, and functional even in virtualized (hypervisor)
environments. Designed to deliver comprehensive lifecycle management, the OpenManage portfolio
of systems management solutions help you to save time, save money and reduce the complexity of
managing your IT infrastructure.
