The 2-socket DellTM PowerEdgeTM 2950, featuring Quad-core Intel® XeonTM processors, delivers next generation performance combined with a balance of internal expandability and rack density. Perfect for network infrastructure applications such as web, messaging, database and file/print consolidation, the configuration flexibility of the PowerEdge 2950 delivers both the performance customers need with the drive capacity demanded for growing applications.

Rack-Optimized Enterprise Performance with Configuration Flexibility

Reduced complexity - Designed to reduce the time required and costs associated with updating software components like BIOS and drivers. Common system image with PowerEdge 1950 and PowerEdge 2900 allows customers to reduce the costs of managing multiple Dell platforms. Common hardware components and interaction help increase the productivity of administrators by providing consistency in managing and servicing.

Configuration flexibility - Flexible 2U chassis accommodates growth and expansion while still conserving precious rack space. Up to six 3.5" hard drives or eight 2.5" hard drives as well as a media bay for tape drive provide storage flexibility to match a variety of application needs.

Performance and scalability - up to two Quad-core Xeon processors and up to 32GB of fully buffered DIMM memory allow applications to scale as business needs increase. TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) helps to deliver better network efficiency, especially for web applications or iSCSI external storage, freeing up the main system processors to focus on the application instead of I/O traffic. The Dell 9G PowerEdge servers using the Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 series (Clovertown) processors have up to 40% greater performance per watt than the 9G PowerEdge servers using Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5100 series (Woodcrest) processors.
