The dual processor Dell™ PowerEdge™ 1850 delivers next-generation performance in a 1U, rack dense chassis—up to 3.6 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache. This high concentration of computing power and redundancy makes the PowerEdge 1850 the perfect choice for high performance computing clusters (HPCC), SAN front-end, web and infrastructure applications, especially where data center real estate is at a premium. Outstanding manageability in this latest generation 1U server delivers new functionality for managing the servers from remote locations.

High performance for today and the future

Dual Intel® Xeon™ processors with EM64T support, teamed with DDR-2 memory and PCI Express deliver outstanding performance for today's 32-bit applications as well as tomorrow's 64-bit applications. The large memory support of EM64T helps deliver great performance for applications that require more than 4GB of memory.

Rack density for data center optimization

The rack-dense 1U form factor helps minimize the floor space requirements, allowing up to 42 servers in less than seven square feet of data center floor space. The flexible PowerEdge 1850 can run a wide variety of applications in a very limited rack space.

Availability without compromise

The PowerEdge 1850 is designed for high availability and redundancy without having to give up any expandability to help ensure your data is safe. The PowerEdge 1850 has a redundant power supply option that allows both I/O slots to be utilized for any peripherals, including redundant SAN HBA controllers.

Scalable performance to protect your investment

Whether you are deploying 32-bit or 64-bit applications today, the PowerEdge 1850 is designed with the performance features that will help enable a smooth transition and performance growth over time, allowing you to grow with your applications.

Industry-standard management to help reduce your management costs

Common BIOS and drivers with PowerEdge 2800 and PowerEdge 2850 servers means that you can develop your system image once and deploy it across multiple servers as needed. And when it's time to upgrade, you can cut down the amount of time needed to manage the software components of your system. Combined with the common management controllers, hard drives, common system board design and common memory upgrades across multiple PowerEdge servers, management is a snap.
