![]() | ![]() | Superior PerformanceThe PowerEdge T300 introduces an advanced, new one-socket chipset and processors specifically designed for superior performance and high availability features. The PowerEdge T300 offers up to 31 percent boost in performance over the HP ML310 G5, giving it the best performance of any one-socket tower server*. And, to make implementation easier and smoother, we build, configure and load the T300 in our factory so it’s ready to work for you right out of the box. |

Reliability Your Business Can Trust
With high availability features like hot-plug hard drives and redundant power supplies, the PowerEdge T300 helps prevent the loss of data and productivity. With up to 24GB of memory — 3X the memory capacity of competitive one-socket x86 servers — and Intel® quad-core processing, the T300 can provide stable performance for memory intensive applications. With authentication through an array of diagnostic tests prior to shipping, it’s designed and built to increase uptime and boost business productivity from the moment you switch it on.
Security Comes Standard
Recognizing the importance of information security, the security features of the PowerEdge T300 are designed to help ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your data.
