The R900 oers Dell’s highest level of scalability and
system availability with up to 256GB of memory to
deliver an enhanced solution for RISC migration and
data-demanding applications, all in an advanced energy-
ecient platform. With the PowerEdge R900, your data
center can benefit from simplified operations, maximized
value, and lowered costs.
Outstanding Virtualization Performance
Designed with powerful virtualization capabilities, the
PowerEdge R900 provides outstanding performance in a
four-socket server with Intel
®
Xeon
®
Six-Core Processors
and up to 256 GB of memory. The R900’s Xeon 7400
series processors support VMware
®
vMotion™ for migration
of data from one server to another with no interruption of
the application, enabling load balancing in real time.
The R900 also streamlines deployment and provides
ease-of-use in virtual infrastructures with factory-integrated
hypervisors that can help simplify virtualization both now
and in the future. Choose between VMware
®
ESX, Citrix
®
XenServer™ or Microsoft
®
Hyper-V™, and then power up
the server and begin migration of virtual machines in a
matter of minutes.
An Ideal Server for RISC Migration
With up to 24 cores and its increased memory, the R900 is
the ideal solution for migration from expensive proprietary
RISC/UNIX environments to an x86 industry standards-
based solution, freeing your data center from being locked
into costly proprietary systems over prolonged periods
of time. Migrating to an open x86 platform can reduce
costs and improve overall management while providing
a foundation that scales easily and aordably for future
needs. The R900 oers further choice and flexibility by
supporting Novell
®
SUSE
®
Linux
®
, Solaris™ and Windows
®
operating systems for migration from RISC environments.
In addition, help drive down costs and complexity in your
data center with Dell’s premium free systems management,
