I’ve been speaking with a few of the server vendors recently, and today I got told that I’m being sent my first server to review, I’m so pleased and so looking forward to it. It’s always great to be able to play with it, and understand how it works so that you can not only review it, but know how to use, configure and maintain it.

I’m being sent a Dell PowerEdge R710. This server is a dual socket 2u server that supports 144GB RAM, with up to 6TB of internal storage. Here’s a url all about it, the R710 would be a great mid-range server or ideal for virtualization as a result of the memory, storage and support of additional network cards. The specifications are here.

I’m genuinely excited about it, so I’ll do a review of the server naturally and will publish pictures, I’m hoping some videos and documents detailing how to set it up etc.

It’s very cool to be sent the servers, try them out, see how they work and start publishing some posts/documentation or media about them, and for that we thank Dell very much.
