Improve Effectiveness, Operate Efficiently and Recover Valuable Time

With the feature-rich Chassis Management Controller and flexible PCIe options, you can run business applications with efficient resources, consolidate your data center, ease data management and cut system maintenance times.
PowerEdge M610x - Unparalleled PowerEdge Flexibility

Unparalleled PowerEdge Flexibility

The PowerEdge™ M610x with PCIe expansion module enables you to creatively incorporate a vast array of PCIe-based products into blade deployments, with enough power and cooling to efficiently deploy even the most feature-rich expansion card-based solutions.

  • PCIe expansion module includes two full-length x16 PCIe Gen2 slots and two standard blade I/O (input/output) mezzanine cards.
  • Supplemental power connectors enable maximum wattage for one 300 W dual-slot card or two 250 W single-slot cards.
  • PCIe slots support everything from H-series external RAID controllers to general-purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs).
Now, a single M610x, equipped with a NVIDIA® Tesla™ GPGPU card, can perform over 400 Gigaflops of double-precision computations, for demanding, floating-point-intensive workloads.

Communication between the host system and the Tesla processors is maximised by the x16 PCIe 2.0 bandwidth while the efficient Dell™ M1000e chassis powers and cools the solution to its maximum 247 W TDP.
PowerEdge M610x - Uncompromised Performance

Uncompromised Performance

The PowerEdge™ M610x is an energy-efficient, optimised full-height two-socket server for virtualisation and database applications. Additional manageability features make it easy to use, manage and deploy.
  • Ideal PCIe host server that features the reliability of two 2.5 inch serial attached SCSI (SAS) or solid-state drive (SSD) hot-swappable hard drives and the I/O production of a dual-port embedded gigabit network interface card (NIC) and two additional network daughter cards.
  • Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 Series plus up to 192GBs of double data rate 3 (DDR3) memory offer high performance with low power consumption for a variety of dense-environment workloads.
  • Efficiently powered and modularly cooled PCIe expansion module delivers up to 8GB/s of application production.
With the addition of the PCIe expansion module, the PowerEdge M610x blade server is an ideal solution for organisations that need maximum flexibility, performance and reliability.
PowerEdge M610x - Simplified System Management

Simplified System Management

The Chassis Management Controller (CMC) and embedded-system management features on the PowerEdge M610x enable you to spend more time on your business and less on maintaining your IT.
  • Automated discovery — CMC automates configuration of new hardware through a one-to-many relationship and enables pre-provisioning of local area network/storage area network (LAN/SAN) resources.
  • One-to-many deploy and update — CMC and Virtual Media File Share enables customers to quickly and simply deploy OS images and updates to one or many blades in a chassis without agents, additional software or using Pre-Boot eXecution Environment (PXE).
  • Proactive management — CMC provides immediate access to system status, issues and alerts through a single, easy-to-use interface plus one-click access to key functions to help quickly resolve any issues.

Flexibility Redefined

Only Dell M-Series provides complete, snap-in FlexIO scalability down to the switch interconnects. FlexIO technology is the foundation of the M1000e I/O subsystem and delivers the flexibility to design the solution to meet your requirements today, and the scalability to add or change options as warranted by your data center or future technologies in the future.
Ethernet

Ethernet


The M-Series enclosure supports a broad set of modular Ethernet blade switches including PowerConnect and Cisco Catalyst.

Dell's fully-modular PowerConnect switches provide great flexibility with choices in models from 1Gb to 10GbE speeds, flexible modular uplinks of varying media types, and many other valuable features. The PowerConnect portfolio, including the M6220 and M8024, offers a selection of switches for a variety of needs.

Spanning entry-level GbE to GbE with stacking and 10GbE uplinks – Cisco models include the Catalyst 3032, 3130G, and 3130X. The 3130 switches feature Cisco's Virtual Blade Switch functionality, enabling customers to interconnect up to 9 switches to create a single logical switch, thereby simplifying the manageability of their data center.
