Dell PowerEdge T320 tower server

Introduction

The one-socket Dell PowerEdge T320 tower server delivers performance, scalability and enterprise-class reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) capabilities, enabling users to grow their businesses and organizations and become more productive. The T320’s balanced combination of compute power, memory capacity and I/O bandwidth make it an excellent fit for collaboration and productivity applications, file and print serving, mail and messaging, and data coordination and sharing. In addition, the T320’s robust design and innovative manageability make it a trustworthy server for branch offices and remote sites that might not have IT staffing.

Powerful and quietly confident

Featuring the extensive performance of the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2400 v2 product familiy, and boasting up to six DIMM slots for memory and five PCIe slots for broad I/O bandwidth, the T320 delivers balanced performance and built-in room for growth. Capacity for up to eight 3.5-inch or 16 2.5-inch hard drives accommodate storage as your business or organization expands. For users not needing the enterprise-class high performance of the Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 product family, the T320 also supports the more price-sensitive Intel Xeon processor E5-1410 and Intel Pentium® processor 1400 series.

Users selecting the Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 v2 product family can choose to implement advanced memory protection capabilities (memory sparing and memory mirroring) previously not seen in the one-socket x86 server space. These capabilities are not possible with the Intel Xeon processor E5-1410 and the Intel Pentium processor 1400 series. Regardless of the processor type, you can take advantage of other high availability features offered on the T320. To protect your virtualized workloads, the T320 offers redundant dual SD media cards making your hypervisors failsafe. Other reliability and availability features include hot-plug hard drives, both hardware and software RAID options, redundant fans, and hot-plug power supplies. The T320’s quiet acoustical profile allows it to fit unobtrusively into quiet office environments.

Simplified systems management, without compromise

The Dell OpenManage systems management portfolio includes integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) with Lifecycle Controller. This embedded feature helps IT administrators manage Dell servers in physical, virtual, local and remote environments, operating in-band or out of-band, with or without a systems management software agent installed. OpenManage iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller integrates and connects to leading third-party systems management solutions (such as those from Microsoft, VMware and BMC Software), so users can maintain a single point of control and capitalize on an existing systems management investment. OpenManage simplifies the lifecycle of deploying, updating, monitoring and maintaining Dell PowerEdge servers.
