PowerEdge M710 Highlights

  • More memory capacity — 18 dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) and memory of up to 192GB 
  • Processing power — Intel® Xeon® 5500 Series 
  • Highly redundant I/O scalability with eight high-speed ports 

Virtualization is a popular solution to address IT challenges because it creates a pool of computing resources that can be easily modified, migrated and upgraded. The Dell PowerEdge™ M1000e blade enclosure with the M710 blade server can accelerate virtualization with modular design for flexibility — making IT adaptable to your changing business needs.

For high-density virtualization environments demanding the highest available RAM and I/O (input/output), the new full-height PowerEdge M710 delivers full-fabric redundancy for exceptional I/O capacity. The innovative expansion to a full-height form factor by Dell enables a significant increase in the total memory capacity to eliminate performance bottlenecks. The M710 blade server enables quick virtualization. Choose your hypervisor from market leaders such as VMware®, Citrix® and Microsoft®.

The Efficient Enterprise:

  • The Dell PowerEdge M710 blade server and Dell EqualLogic™ storage supported 25 percent more Microsoft® Exchange 2007 virtual machines than did the HP ProLiant BL685c server and HP StorageWorks EVA 4400 storage.*
  • In all total cost of ownership (TCO) comparisons by rack, by chassis and by blade, the Dell PowerEdge M710 blade solution had a lower TCO and yielded significant cost savings over the HP ProLiant BL685c G5 blade solution.**
