Simple Manageability

Dell recognizes the importance of simplifying IT management, which is why Dell's blade solutions deliver easy management functionalities. These features include the world's first fully modular blade enclosure, easy, expandable I/O switches, and interactive LCD panel for deployment and local troubleshooting with a deployment wizard for easy setup. With the addition of Dell's FlexAddress technology for persistent WWN/MAC addresses, PowerEdge M-Series blade servers allow you to focus on managing your organization, not your data center. Dell launched FC8 and 10Gbe and created the first blade chassis to have Quad Data Rate InfiniBand.

Increased Flexibility

Designed to lead the industry in rapid and easy setup and deployment, Dell M-Series blade servers feature modular I/O switches, in addition to two 1Gb and integrated NICs, for easy upgradeability and a passive mid-plane that can handle 40Gb/s on four mezzanine ports per half-height slot. These features provide you with an easy and effective solution for scaling your I/O infrastructure, which can deliver significant savings in time, cabling and switch port costs.

Energy Efficiency

The Dell M-Series blades are designed for energy efficiency and density to address the growing power consumption and space constraints in your data center. Continuing their sustained commitment and leadership in energy efficiency, Dell has created the most power-efficient mainstream blade solution on the market featuring active dynamically scaled zoned cooling. From these fan technologies with active zoned cooling, to ultra-efficient power supplies that offer dynamic control and power monitoring, the M-Series will provide you with the outstanding power efficiency your data center needs from a singe blade through a fully populated chassis.
