The PowerEdge T610 is an Intel processor-based 2-socket tower server ideal for growing small and medium businesses, as well as remote sites that require high availability, exceptional virtualisation capabilities, and advanced systems management.


Simplified Infrastructure Management
Dell’s systems management solutions span from the desktop to the datacenter and from on-site self managed tools to the “cloud.” Dell can even fully manage your infrastructure through our innovative Software-as-a-Service capabilities. Regardless of the complexity of your management requirements and your IT staff capabilities, Dell has a solution that can meet your needs – while helping to reduce the costs and complexity typically associated with infrastructure management.Dell’s next generation of the Dell OpenManage™ suite of management tools offers efficient operations and standards-based commands designed to integrate with existing systems for effective control. Dell OpenManage enables you to reduce tasks from hours and multiple steps to a single step and lays the framework for automated operations.
Additional features include a single console interface with the ability to add technology from other partners – as easily as a plug-in – for effective software and systems management. . With the new OpenManage tools, Dell is delivering a simple, scalable, streamlined solution. These new tools give you the ability to configure and manage your systems, monitor and provide updates, manage your assets, migrate and backup your servers, protect your data, and provide help desk service.

Energy-Tuned Technologies

- Improved system-level efficiency
- Policy-driven power and thermal management
- Highly efficient standards-based Energy Smart components

Virtualization-Ready
Virtualization on Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers just got a performance boost. Featuring Intel® Xeon® 5500 and 5600 series processors, embedded hypervisors and expanded memory and I/O (input/output), Dell next-generation PowerEdge server offers better overall system performance and virtual machine per server capacity than ever before.Dell also provides a smart path to virtualization — a path grounded in choice and defined by industry standards. Customers can choose their hypervisor from market leaders such as VMware, Citrix and Microsoft, enabling virtualization with a few clicks of a mouse.

Inspired Design
Dell’s servers offer world class system and image commonality and customer inspired usability.The PowerEdge T610 takes advantage of Dell’s system commonality; when IT Managers have learned one system, they have learned the logic required to manage Dell’s next generation of servers. The logical layout of components and power supply placement enables a simple and straight forward installation and simplified redeployment experience in the future.The next generation PowerEdge T610 also includes improved chassis, rails, cable management arms, hard drive carriers and latches. This results in incredible system management from the aisle with enhanced, multi-layer LCD and KVM access.
