5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
• Xeon-equipped PowerEdge servers equipped with the new Dell Lifecycle Controller, software to integrate management functions in a single access point. • New Precision T7500, T5500, and T3500 tower workstations, based on Xeon 5500 "Nehalem" 45-nm processors and featuring DDR3 memory. • EqualLogic PS6000 storage arrays that can create a "virtualized iSCSI SAN" and automatically build RAID sets. • SAN Headquarters, a dashboard for monitoring up to tens of PS Series storage groups, enabling control of more than 10 PB of storage. • The Dell Management Console, software based on Symantec's Altiris, which provides a single management console for multiple systems. Dell claims that similar capabilities from an HP solution would require up to 9 consoles. In a further direct comparison with HP, Dell claimed that its M-series blade architecture features 27 percent lower acquisition cost and 17 percent lower TCO over 5 years than HP's BladeSystem c-Class architecture. In a statement, Brad Anderson, senior vice president of Dell's Enterprise Product Group, said, "Dell’s new suite of servers, workstations, storage, software and services offers the whole package: powerful, efficient and affordable infrastructure products with simple tools to manage them without the need for costly services engagements." |
