When original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) develop custom appliances, they often have specific requirements for the server they use as a platform. For example, appliances for certain medical applications might require extremely high availability to avoid downtime or the need for IT intervention. Other appliances, such as those for networking and digital media applications, may require more connectivity options and bandwidth than many standard server applications. Still others—such as those that reside in shallow and legacy racks, mobile server enclosures, and other nonstandard locations—may require a compact form factor.
The 11th-generation Dell™ PowerEdge™ R310 appliance server platform is a single-socket, 1U rack server designed specifically with OEMs in mind. Available as either a standard Dell-branded server or an unbranded, OEM-ready appliance platform that can be rebranded by OEMs, this highly flexible system combines cost-effective, high-performance computing power and a small form factor with a range of configurable uptime, connectivity, and management features designed to meet a breadth of custom appliance requirements. Features designed to simplify and streamline management include the embedded Dell Lifecycle Controller, Dell Management Console powered by Altiris™ from Symantec™, an interactive LCD, and the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 6 (iDRAC 6) Enterprise.
This versatile system is well suited for custom OEM appliances designed for a wide range of applications, including digital media, networking, and applications in medical and health care, retail, and other specific environments. OEM-ready services from Dell OEM Solutions allow standard PowerEdge R310 servers to be quickly and easily customized to help OEMs streamline development of applications on custom appliance server platform configurations.
