Superior Performance

The PowerEdge T300 introduces a new, advanced 1-socket chipset and processors specifically designed for superior performance and high availability features. The PowerEdge T300 offers up to 31% boost in performance over the HP ML310 G5, giving it the best performance of any 1-socket tower server1. And, to make implementation easier and smoother, we build, configure and load the T300 in our factory so it’s ready to work for you right out of the box.

Reliability Your Business Can Trust

With high availability features like hot-plug hard drives and redundant power supplies, the PowerEdge T300 helps prevent the loss of data and productivity. With up to 24GB of memory – 3X the memory capacity of competitive 1-socket x86 servers – and Intel^® quad-core processing, the T300 can provide stable performance for memory intensive applications. With authentication through an array of diagnostic tests prior to shipping, it’s designed and built to increase uptime and boost business productivity from the moment you switch it on.

Security Comes Standard

Recognizing the importance of information security, the security features of the PowerEdge T300 are designed to help ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your data. In fact, this new generation of PowerEdge servers are the most secure we’ve ever produced. Standard features include a locked-down internal USB port, chassis intrusion switch, locking bezels and a built-in Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that enables system authentication, assists with encryption and helps prevent tampering.

Combine these excellent features with Microsoft Windows Server^® 2008 through Dell and you have a secure, reliable, robust server environment. Advanced security and reliability enhancements help organizations to prevent data theft with Rights Management Services, BitLocker, and Group Policy technologies.

Whether you need assistance evaluating Windows Server 2008 or are ready to implement, Dell has the expertise, resources and tools to assist organizations of any size.
