Dell PowerEdge 2650

Product Overview

The PowerEdge 2650 is Dell's affordable third-generation, ultra-slimline (2U) full-featured rack system ideal for multi-server rack environments.
Product Benefits
The Dell PowerEdge 2650 delivers a combination of performance, availability and configuration flexibility that make it ideal for a variety of front end server workloads. The system utilizes Intel® Xeon® processors and the ServerWorks Grand Champion-LE chipset to deliver more system performance improvements relative to the PowerEdge 2550.

The PowerEdge 2650 offers features designed to minimize server downtime, including hot-plug redundant fans, power supplies and hard drives as well as embedded RAID with battery-backed cache. The reduction in internal cables (only one cable is used in the entire system) and the addition of an Embedded Remote Access port provide functionality that can lower the total cost of ownership of the server.
