Dell has announced a refresh and enhancement of it’s PowerEdge servers featuring the Intel Xeon 5600 processor. This includes their blade M610 and M710 servers, their R410,R510,R610 and R710 rack servers and their T410,T610 and T710 tower servers.

It will be great to see what improvements have been made to the platform, there are some significant energy savings and performance, combined with improved focus on the efficiency of the power supplies, on board hypervisors and AES-NI to further adoption of encryption for security.

Their focus seems to be around ease of deployment, reducing the barriers to succcess and improving systems management for which they must be commended, anything we can do to make it easier to deploy and support the server platform has to be a good thing, whether it’s in terms of common drivers and firmware, or more effective deployments around their Lifecycle Controller. I’m off to read up more.
