The Next-Generation Dell PowerEdge M1000e Modular Blade Enclosure

The next-generation Dell PowerEdge™ M1000e modular blade server enclosure begins a new generation of blade technology. Designed by Dell with over 54,000 hours of work and 30 patents solely on the architectural design of the enclosure, the PowerEdge M1000e incorporates the benefits of an enhanced power and cooling design, a flexible high speed I/O (input/output) subsystem and integrated management capabilities designed to simplify administration tasks.

Blade enclosures offer a number of unique advantages over typical rack-mounted servers, such as:

• Increased density, enabling more efficient use of available space
• Rapid deployment — much faster than for rack-mounted servers
• Reduced power and cooling requirements
• Less cabling, which greatly reduces the number of cable failure points, simplifies management and reduces installation costs
• Simplified management to meet the performance and efficiency needs of demanding enterprise usage scenarios

Dell designed the new PowerEdge M1000e modular blade enclosure to also provide the following:

• Outstanding power efficiency
• Enhanced I/O switches
• Reduced complexity
• Comparable functionality to rack-mounted servers
