Dell PowerEdge T320 Technical Guide - Page 5

The 1-socket Dell™ PowerEdge™ T320 tower server delivers performance, scalability and enterprise-class reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) capabilities, enabling users to grow their businesses and organizations and become more productive. The T320's balanced combination of compute power, memory capacity, and I/O bandwidth make it an excellent fit for collaboration and productivity applications, file and print serving, mail and messaging, and data coordination and sharing. In addition, the T320's robust design and innovative manageability make it a trustworthy server for branch offices and remote sites that might not have technical IT skills onsite. Featuring the extensive performance of the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2400 product family, and boasting up to six DIMM slots for memory and five PCIe slots for broad I/O bandwidth, the T320 delivers balanced performance and built-in room for growth. Capacity for up to eight 3.5-inch or sixteen 2.5-inch hard drives accommodate storage as your business or organization expands. For users not needing the Enterprise-class high performance of the Intel Xeon E5-2400 processors, the T320 also supports the more price-sensitive Intel Xeon processor E5-1410 and Intel Pentium® processor 1400 product family. Users selecting the Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family can choose to implement advanced memory protection capabilities (memory sparing and memory mirroring) previously not seen in the 1-socket x86 server space. These capabilities are not possible with the Intel Xeon processor E5-1410 and the Intel Pentium processor 1400 product family. Regardless of the processor type, you can take advantage of other high availability features offered on the T320. To protect your virtualized workloads, the T320 offers redundant dual SD media cards making your hypervisors failsafe. Other reliability and availability features that give you peace of mind include hot-plug hard drives, both hardware and software RAID options, redundant fans and hot-plug power supplies. Last, but not least, the T320's quiet acoustical profile allows it to fit unobtrusively into quiet office environments. The PowerEdge family is engineered with the right combination of features and performance scalability to handle tough workloads for businesses and organizations of all sizes. The Dell OpenManage™ systems management portfolio includes the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) with Lifecycle Controller. This embedded feature helps IT administrators manage Dell servers in physical, virtual, local and remote environments, operating in-band or out-of-band, with or without a systems management software agent. OpenManage integrates and connects to third-party systems management solutions so you can maintain your single point of control and capitalize on your existing investment. OpenManage simplifies the lifecycle of deploying, updating, monitoring, and maintaining your Dell PowerEdge servers.
