Dell PowerEdge 2970 Server
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ 2970 server features technology that optimizes the balance between performance, energy efficiency and value.

The PowerEdge Edge
Through Dell’s commitment to industry standard technology, innovative hardware design and continued focus on fewer system updates, PowerEdge servers help reduce the complexity involved in managing data, whether you are a large enterprise or a small business. These servers are designed to a Dell developed Behavioral Specification that defines consistent hardware layout and user interaction across all server models in this and future PowerEdge generations. Featuring the latest technologies, such as AMD Opteron™ Dual-Core processors, PowerEdge servers offer the power and performance you expect from Dell.

Dell PowerEdge 2970, a Compelling Choice for Virtualization
Virtualization helps businesses reduce operational costs and energy consumption in the datacenter through effective scaling, improved utilization and simplified operations. Dell delivers fully-tested, integrated solutions including the right hardware, software and services to help businesses take full advantage of the benefits of virtualizing their IT environments. The PowerEdge 2970 combined with Dell’s leadership with key industry partners such as VMware and Microsoft offers a compelling choice for businesses looking to capitalize on virtualization.

Lower Energy Consumption and Reduced Operating Costs
PowerEdge servers optimize system resources to lower total energy consumption and reduce operating costs without sacrificing performance levels required to run mainstream enterprise applications. The PowerEdge 2970 features Dell’s unique low power design and runs on AMD Opteron™ processors featuring PowerNow® technology to optimize processor power utilization based on workload, ultimately helping to save money by saving energy.

Increased Manageability to Simplify Operations
Dell offers businesses the most manageable systems in the industry by providing two paths to management – Dell developed tools and partner integrations. At the center of our management capabilities, the Dell OpenManage™ suite of hardware management applications provides comprehensive deployment, monitoring, and change management functionality. For businesses seeking a broader solution, Dell has partnered with leading systems management vendors – such as Altiris, Novell, Microsoft, and LANDesk – to provide deployment and change management of your entire IT environment. For large enterprise frameworks – such as CA, HP, or IBM – we offer connections that allow Dell systems to be managed with those tools.
