Some of Dell's new servers are also aimed at that SME/branch office market.

The PowerEdge T410 (from $A2764), T710 (price to be announced) and rack-mounted R410 (from $A2674) all feature Xeon 5500 series processors. The R410 has a short chassis for small spaces, while the T710 can accommodate 16 internal drives for situations where it is desirable to keep all the storage inside the box.

Dell is also positioning PowerEdge R410 configurations for use in high performance computing (HPC) clusters.

Company officials claim it delivers an 80 percent performance boost compared with previous-generation servers, thanks in part to high-speed interconnects such as InfiniBand QDR and PCIe gen2 slots.

The physical design makes installation and redeployment easier, while "clutter-free cable routing" improves airflow.

"Large enterprises, small-to-medium sized business and public-sector organizations face common IT obstacles that impede their ability to efficiently assess, deploy and manage technology," said Brad Anderson, senior vice president of Dell's enterprise product group.

"From virtualization to high performance computing clusters, customers are seeking standards-based technologies that improve efficiency while reducing costs," he added.
