Dell PowerEdge 1950 server provides exceptional performance and availability for organizations that require high-powered processing capability in a space-constricted data center. The rack-dense 1U server features 64-bit, Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors and the latest in chipset, memory and I/O technology. Dell 1950 server includes twice the memory capacity of 8th generation servers with up to 32GB of fully-buffered DIMM memory which allows scalability and greater performance, especially in virtualized workloads. PCI-Express I/O slots support high performance Ethernet, RAID, InfiniBand and Fibre Channel interconnects while helping to provide investment protection for future technologies. Finally, Serial Attach SCSI (SAS) hard drives can deliver some of the highest possible performance available with the next generation storage technology while SATA drive options offer greater value for systems that rely on internal or external storage and fiber channel storage options.
