PowerEdge T110 II Technical Guide v

Dell

1 Product Comparison

1.1 Overview

The Dell™ PowerEdge™ T110 II is a powerful and reliable server in a tower form factor that is designed to deliver the right combination of performance, data protection and value. It is an ideal first server for small businesses considering or implementing desktop consolidation, file sharing, printer sharing or wishing to reduce software licensing charges. The T110 II delivers continuity and confidence, allowing you to focus on running your business instead of running your computers.

1.2 Business Value

The PowerEdge T110 II is designed to meet the needs of your small business environment, both now and as it grows into the future. It has sizeable performance headroom and its data-storage capability can be expanded by adding more hard drives or higher-capacity hard drives. Your data can be secured using RAID options for added data protection. The T110 II also provides straightforward systems management for easy deployment, monitoring and ongoing administration.

1.3 Easy Access

Run applications, share information or access your data from any workstation in the office and let employees work collaboratively by moving to a server-based network.

Adding a server to your business gives you the ability to connect with collaboration suites to meet and share documents or desktops over the Internet, deliver instant messages, make calls over the Internet and share desktops during conference calls—all without adding an IT staff.

The PowerEdge T110 II is ideally suited to give your business the flexibility and access you and your employees need to get more done.

1.4 Secure Technology

Keep data secure and control file access with built-in encryption, security and data protection options. When coupled with the latest version of Microsoft® Windows® Small Business Server 2011 (SBS 2011), the PowerEdge T110 II delivers an integrated solution that can further protect your data by providing automatic backup and restore functionality, as well as email, remote access and collaboration to help take your business to the next level.

With the PowerEdge T110 II, you can:

 Avoid costly business interruptions and potentially catastrophic security breaches with

hardware-enabled advanced security and encryption features.

 Configure your system with an optional RAID controller to make copies of data automatically,

preventing downtime in the event of a hard drive failure.

 Protect your files with the Microsoft

features that let you restore files and recover data, including automatic backups on PowerEdge servers.
