M-Series Blade Solution Offering by Dell

Dell’s PowerEdge M-Series blade solution has set a new standard for data center energy efficiency and flexibility, it announced on Monday.

To help customers simplify information technology and better address mounting environmental challenges in their data centers, the PowerEdge M-Series was newly designed using Dell Energy Smart technologies, resulting in 30 industry patents. Dell says the PowerEdge M-Series consumes up to 19 percent less power and achieves up to 25 percent improved performance per watt than the HP BladeSystem c-Class1.

Optimized for Dell’s PowerEdge M600 and M605 blade servers and supporting up to two quad-core Intel Xeon and quad-core AMD Opteron processors respectively, the PowerEdge M1000e, a 10U-sized enclosure, supports 16 blade servers. The new M1000e blade enclosure is now obtainable worldwide for ordering with an initial price of $5,999, along with blades opening at $1,849.

Brad Anderson, senior vice president, Dell Business Product Group stated “Blade offerings have been long on promises and short on helping customers address the growing costs and complexity in their data centers. The PowerEdge M-Series delivers on those promises with unmatched energy efficiency, flexibility, performance and manageability. It enables customers to achieve the compute performance they need while lowering their overall power consumption and reducing data center complexity and server sprawl.”

Furthermore Dell recently began offering three new PowerEdge servers and made enhancements to its existing line of PowerEdge servers.
