Key Features and Benefits
The PowerEdge R610 delivers exceptional computing density with its 1U form factor, allowing maximum server capacity within limited rack space. Dual Intel Xeon E5640 processors with Intel QuickPath Interconnect technology provide robust multi-threaded performance and efficient workload distribution. The DDR3 ECC memory architecture ensures data integrity with advanced error correction, memory mirroring, and sparing capabilities to maintain system reliability.
Hot-plug redundant components including power supplies, cooling fans, and 2.5" SAS drive bays enable seamless maintenance without system downtime. The integrated iDRAC6 management controller provides out-of-band remote access for monitoring, troubleshooting, and system administration from anywhere on your network. Energy-efficient 80 PLUS certified power supplies reduce operating costs whilst the advanced thermal management system optimises cooling performance.
The flexible storage configuration supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 arrays depending on your selected controller, protecting critical data whilst maximising performance. Four integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports with TOE (TCP Offload Engine) and iSCSI support deliver robust network connectivity for demanding applications. Essential Technical Specifications

This server supports a comprehensive range of enterprise operating systems including Microsoft Windows Server editions, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, VMware ESXi, and Oracle Solaris. Windows Server advantages include familiar administration interfaces, extensive application compatibility, and seamless Active Directory integration, though licensing costs can be substantial. Linux distributions offer excellent stability, lower total cost of ownership, superior performance for specific workloads, and robust open-source tooling, whilst requiring more specialised administrative knowledge for some organisations. VMware ESXi provides industry-leading virtualisation with advanced features and management tools, ideal for consolidating multiple operating systems on a single platform. Cosmetic Condition Grading
Excellent Grade (A) servers show minimal signs of previous rack installation with only very light scuffing on the chassis from standard mounting. The front bezel and external surfaces remain in near-pristine condition with barely noticeable wear. Good Grade (B) servers are fully functional with light scratches on the external chassis, minor paint chips, or small dings from previous data centre use. All cosmetic variations are purely aesthetic and do not affect the server's performance, reliability, or in any way. Verified Reboot Refurb Quality Assurance
