Intelligent Platforms, Uncommon Reliability

Server Reliability: A Long-Term Goal
Dell customers have told us they need a server manufacturer that inspires confidence through its reliability, availability and quality of products. By listening to and focusing on what our customers want, we’ve set a simple reliability goal: Deliver quality products that stand the test of time.
To help meet this goal, Dell is dedicated to improving reliability processes by:
- Employing robust validation and testing processes to for durable product design
- Verifying that each supplier meets our stringent quality standards
- Utilizing robust, durable industrial materials to enable long product lifecycles
- Introducing a Unified Server Configurator (USC), which helps to minimize downtime by offering embedded and persistent diagnostics with no media required
- Improving redundancy generation over generation with features such as dual internal SD modules that provide failover at the hypervisor level
- Implementing a one-touch quality-control process designed to ensure that one person is responsible for the entire server build
- Ensuring that every fully configured Dell server is tested — and retested — before it leaves the factory
Intelligent, Connected Foundation
By listening to and focusing on our customers, Dell delivers innovation that matters and value that lasts.
FlexMem Bridge Technology: A Customer-Inspired Innovation
Applications continue to demand more memory per core, and memory continues to be the highest in-demand resource. Designed with this in mind, FlexMem Bridge technology from Dell delivers a practical solution to a real customer need. The FlexMem Bridge essentially mimics and extends Intel’s existing connections from the two populated processors to the DIMM channels that would normally only be accessible if all four processors were populated. This innovation allows you to scale memory to take full advantage of the resources that matter most.
A Complete Management Portfolio
The PowerEdge R810 is simple to deploy, manage and maintain, saving you time and money to focus on what matters most — your people and business.




Efficient Infrastructure
As part of the 11th Generation PowerEdge portfolio, the PowerEdge R810 offers the system-design commonality, ease of use and cost-saving efficiency found in all 11th Generation servers.
- Dell designs all external ports, power supplies and LED lights in the same location for a familiar user experience, as well as for easy installation and deployment.
- Robust metal hard-drive carriers and organized cabling help to improve component access and airflow across the server.
- Logical layout of the internal components aids with airflow direction, helping to keep the server cool.
- Purposeful design also provides quiet acoustics and an interactive LCD positioned on the front of the server for ease of monitoring.
Limitations on space, power and cooling capacity, combined with rising energy costs, present enormous challenges for IT. Dell PowerEdge servers are designed to drive energy efficiency as a design standard while delivering the performance you need to meet cost and environmental goals. The Dell Energy Smart system design includes features that enable power capping, power inventory and power budgeting to aid in the management of power within your environment.
Energy Smart system design provides up to 16 percent energy savings by:
