Reviewing the Dell R610

PC Pro

Verdict: With a wealth of new features and improvements, the PowerEdge R610 is the best 1U rack server we’ve seen.

Dell’s latest PowerEdge servers may come equipped with Intel’s new 5500 Series “Nehalem” processors, but there’s a lot more on the table. They have a firm focus on virtualisation, reduced power requirements and cooling and, of course, value.

The PowerEdge R610 on review also introduces the Lifecycle Controller that, along with the new Dell Management Console (DMC), aims to significantly reduce the burden of management and support.

The R610’s front panel has been completely redesigned. The new LCD display offers a control keypad for setting the remote management network address along with views of power consumption and temperatures.

A review of the Dell PowerEdge R610, it’s always good to read the reviews and see what people think about the different products. The R610 looks ideal for smaller scale virtualization projects or grid? I’m off to read up more about it.
