Protect Your Information

Since 2005, over 165 million personal information data records have been compromised in the US alone1. Dell recognizes the growing importance of information security and is committed to ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. Today's PowerEdge servers are the most secure servers that Dell has ever produced.


The PowerEdge 2950 III server includes an industry standard Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which supports a variety of information security software packages that help customers reduce risk. The internal components on the PowerEdge 2950 III are physically and logically locked down, preventing unauthorized access. For example, customers deploying USB security tokens can install them in the internal USB port. The PowerEdge 2950 III PERC6/i RAID controller also now supports RAID levels 6 and 60, providing fault tolerance even in the event of a failure of two hard disks.


Enhance Performance

As your business grows the requirement for reliable, responsive server performance increases. The PowerEdge 2950 III server helps you meet ever expanding application and data requirements. The capabilities provided by the latest generation of Intel® Xeon® 64-bit dual and quad-core processors allow enhanced performance as well as improved data and application consolidation. Improved network interface options, including 10 Gigabit2 Ethernet, quad-port NIC and network interface teaming technology help utilize improved processor performance to provide a cost-effective method to enhance crucial network availability.


Simplify Management

Complex IT environments typically mean higher IT costs. The PowerEdge 2950 III includes features which can help to simplify server deployment and consolidation tasks. Dell delivers fully assembled and highly tested machines that don't require expensive integration services. Remote management options including Wake-on-LAN and iSCSI boot help increase network manager productivity. The PowerEdge 2950 III also helps ease system administration with its choice of 2.5" or 3.5" drives, internal USB port and an optional internal DVD drive.
