Dell introduces server for small businesses

NEW DELHI: Dell has introduced a new server designed for small businesses,

individual departments in larger organizations, branch offices, among other

applications.

The Dell PowerEdge 500SC is a single-processor server based on industry-

standard technology that offers customers the power of a server at the same

price of many entry-level desktop computers. Priced at Rs 47,609, the new server

features ServerWorks’ ServerSet LE 3.0 chipset, which supports either a 1GHz

Intel Pentium III processor or an 800 MHz Celeron processor.

The PowerEdge 500SC can meet the growing data demands of small businesses,

offering up to two gigabytes of RAM and 180 gigabytes of storage. With five PCI

slots, including support for two 64-bit/66 MHz PCI slots, small businesses have

the flexibility to expand to future high-performance peripherals. The PowerEdge

500SC also features an embedded high-performance Intel 10/100 Ethernet network

interface card to help reduce bottlenecks and improve availability. In addition,

IDE and SCSI internal tape back-up drives are available.

Dell offers factory installation of Microsoft operating systems and Dell

Server Assistant for easy on-site operating system installation. The PowerEdge

500SC also provides server-class manageability through embedded features such as

temperature, fan and voltage monitoring, as well as a hardware monitor that

automatically reboots the system should the operating system fail.

For standard hardware support, the PowerEdge 500SC ships with a three-year

limited warranty. The PowerEdge 500SC is available for purchase immediately.
