High performance in a rackable 2-socket tower, now with Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors.The PowerEdge 2900 is designed with next generation performance features,large memory capacity and exceptional expandability,availability and manageability to reliably drive your business applications.
Increased Commonality = Reduced Complexity
Only Dell delivers next-generation servers specifically designed to reduce complexity.
Hence, it's easier than ever to manage Dell servers through innovative design changes and increased management functionality, including a new Behavioral Specification that helps ensure consistency is maintained over future generations.
Plus, Dell's industry-leading software commonality takes steps to help reduce software complexity and drive down the number of updates.
You can even break down the new servers and service without tools.
The Dell PowerEdge 2900 server is built with flexibility in mind. You can choose from tower or 5U rack chassis options with hot-plug SAS or SATA hard drives and several optical devices and tape products, for up to 6.0TB* of internal storage. The system also features six I/O slots. Because Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC) and PERC 5/i integrated controller utilise dedicated daughtercard slots, all six I/O slots are available for expandability. You have the option of adding up to four dual-embedded Gigabit Network Interface Cards (NICs) and two dual-channel storage interface devices for maximum growth potential.
Dell goes the distance to increase price/performance and performance-per-watt* in its newest generation of servers. The latest 64-bit Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors deliver performance gains of up to 63%* over the previous generation.
The Dell 9G PowerEdge servers using the Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 series processors have up to 40% greater performance per watt than the 9G PowerEdge servers using Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5100 series (Woodcrest) processors*.
1333MHz FSB facilitates great speed. 64-bit memory addressability provides scalability for large memory footprint applications.
A TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) helps deliver greater network throughput and efficiency by offloading the TCP/IP processing to a dedicated processor, freeing up the main system processor in web-based applications or when using iSCSI.
The PowerEdge 9th Generation servers offer up to 48GB of fully-buffered DIMM memory, as much as three times the memory capacity of the previous generation. This allows for simultaneous reads/writes of memory and can help improve performance in virtualized workloads.
Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) hard drives deliver the next generation of SCSI performance and reliability for critical business applications, while SATA options provide excellent value for systems that rely on external storage and fibre-channel storage.
PCI Express I/O expansion can facilitate greater I/O throughput and support for high-bandwidth I/O peripherals such as Infiniband, 4Gb fibre channel and future 10Gb Ethernet.
Dell addresses the need for high availability in the new PowerEdge 9th Generation by providing hot-plug redundant power supplies and hard drives, plus multiple SAS RAID options - without sacrificing expandability, and including support for High Availability Clustering and deployment in SANs. Redundant NICs and redundant cooling fans help keep the servers running smoothly.
SAS hard drive carriers and memory options are common across the entire line of PowerEdge 9th Generation servers. The PowerEdge 1950, 2900 and 2950 feature standardized drivers and BIOS.
All servers include an Integrated Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0 management controller (with SMASH Command Line Protocol), plus an optional DRAC 5 remote management card with continuous video and Active Directory integration for robust remote server management.
