“The new systems expand Dell’s award-winning line of powerful,
“rack-optimized” servers, which are ideal for Internet and intranet
applications.The servers are just 1U in height (1.75 inches), which
allows companies to stack a large amount of computing power into a
very small space. Other products in Dell’s line of rack-dense
servers include the 2U, two processor PowerEdge 2450 server, 4U,
four processor PowerEdge 6450 application server, 7U, eight
processor PowerEdge 8450 database server and a full line of 1U and
2U PowerApp appliance servers for Web serving, caching and load
balancing applications.”

“The PowerEdge 350 is a cost-effective, general-purpose server
that supports a single Intel Celeron or Pentium III processor, as
many as two IDE hard disk drives, up to 1GB of ECC SDRAM memory and
dual, integrated Intel Pro 10/100+ NICs.The PowerEdge 350 offers an
even smaller footprint and lower power consumption than the
PowerEdge 1550 making it ideal for space-constrained customers who
are value driven. The PowerEdge 1550 and PowerEdge 350 will be
available with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 Server or Red
Hat Linux 7 factory installed.
For more information on the
PowerEdge 1550 and PowerEdge 350, go to

“The PowerApp.web 120 is built on the same high-performance
hardware platform as the PowerEdge 1550, while the PowerApp.web 110
is a cost-effective Linux-based Web server that supports a single
Intel Celeron processor and up to two IDE hard disk drives.”
