Quintet of New Dell Servers Designed for Growing Businesses

Dell today announced five server models engineered to deliver increased performance, reduced complexity and business-ready solutions for businesses of all sizes. The Dell PowerEdge 1900, 860 and 840 and Dell PowerEdge SC1430 and SC440 servers are designed to help small businesses grow and large businesses that need remote office support. These servers — combined with the availability of Microsoft® Small Business Server (SBS) R2, Dell OpenManageTM systems management software and Dell services — reduce complexity and simplify IT operations, allowing customers more time to manage and grow their business.

“Dell is committed to understanding the unique technology challenges our customers face and responding with products and services that specifically meet their needs,” said Frank Muehleman, vice president of Dell’s U.S. Small Business division. “Developed with feedback from fast-growing customers like Sew What?, winner of the 2006 Dell/NFIB Small Business Excellence Award,1, our complete line of small-business servers is another milestone in our continued goal of reducing complexity and simplifying IT management for our customers so they can get back to business.”

Higher Performance Means Increased Efficiency, Room to Grow: The Dell PowerEdge 1900, 840 and 860 servers and Dell PowerEdge SC1430 and SC440 servers feature dual-core Intel® Xeon® processors for dramatic increases in performance, scalability and power efficiency, especially when running multiple applications such as file serving, email, and databases.

“Our Web site helped our business grow nearly 45 percent last year and managing all of the business it generates requires a lot of storage – from global customer information to thousands of drapery and fabric images to QuickBooks files,” said beta customer Megan Duckett, a small-business owner and founder of custom theatrical drapery manufacturer Sew What? Inc. “With the power and scalability of the PowerEdge 860, we still have plenty of room to grow and soon will be able to host our Web site in-house.”
