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.
