Dell PowerEdge
PowerEdge is the current name for servers from Dell Inc.
Technical information
PowerEdge products accounted for 15% of the company's total sales in 2007, the year the newer models were introduced. The servers are offered as deskside, rack or blade . Dell announced in 2006 that it would use an AMD Opteron architecture.

Naming conventions
Before the 10th generation, PowerEdge servers had four-digit designations:
- 1st digit: Height in height units (tower systems: for horizontal installation)
- 2nd digit: generation
- 3rd digit: server type (5: rack server; 0: tower server)
- 4th digit: 5: blade server ; 0: normal single server
From the 10th generation, the servers are named with a letter and three or four digits:
With three digits:
- Letter: Type (form factor) of the server: C = cloud (for cloud applications) / M or MX = modular (blade server, etc., which must be mounted in a special housing) / R = rack server / T = tower server
- 1st digit: Performance class: 1–3 = 1 CPU / 4–7 = 2 CPUs / 8 = 2 or 4 CPUs / 9 = 4 CPUs
- 2nd digit: unit of the generation number (starting with 10th generation = 0)
- 3rd digit: CPU manufacturer (0 = Intel; 5 = AMD)
Example: R710 is an 11th generation rack server with 2 CPUs from Intel; 2950 is a 2U high, 9th generation rack server
With four digits:
- Letter: See three digits
- 1st digit: system class. 1–5 with iDRAC BASIC, 6–9 with iDRAC Express
- 2nd digit: Generation (0 = 10th generation, 1 = 11th generation etc.)
- 3rd digit number of CPUs
- 4th digit: CPU manufacturer (0 = Intel; 5 = AMD)
