Improve Effectiveness, Operate Efficiently and Recover Valuable Time

The PowerEdge™ M710HD blade server helps you run business applications efficiently, reduce your data center footprint, ease data management and trim system maintenance time.

Flex Your Data Center Muscles

With massive I/O output, powerful core processing and ultrahigh-density memory, the PowerEdge M710HD blade server can take on your toughest data center workloads.

Flexible deployment achievable through multiple Internet SCSI (iSCSI), Ethernet, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand® options (10 Gigabit Ethernet, Quad Data Rate InfiniBand, 8GB Fibre Channel and more)
Modular Available with Dual port 10GbE Network Daughter Card (NDC) with NIC partitioning (NPAR)
Robust processing power from up to 12 Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 Series
Maximized RAM density with 18 DIMM slots for cost-efficient double data rate 3 (DDR3) memory scaling

The expanded addressable memory in a two-socket, half-height blade enables you to leverage more virtual machines from your existing hypervisor licensing, helping you save money and increase your virtualized deployments using existing resources.

The Closest Thing to a Worry-Free Data Center

The PowerEdge M710HD blade server is designed to ease your mind and reduce your operating costs.

Enterprise-Class High Availability
Optional fail-safe embedded hypervisors and HDD fault tolerance through hardware RAID controller offer protective redundancy that safeguards your organizations data from loss or corruption.

Efficiency
Optimized airflow design coupled with high-efficiency fans and power supplies enables the Dell™ PowerEdge M1000e modular blade enclosure to effectively power and cool PowerEdge M710HD servers, while helping to reduce overall power draw. This enables you to reclaim kilowatt hours for use elsewhere in your data center.

Simplified System Management

Spend more time on your business and less on maintaining your IT with embedded system-management features on the PowerEdge M710HD and the Chassis Management Controller (CMC).

PowerEdge M710HD Blade Server - Automated discovery

Automated Discovery
CMC automates configuration of new hardware through a one-to-many relationship and enables pre-provisioning of local area network/storage area network (LAN/SAN) resources.

PowerEdge M710HD Blade Server - One-to-many deploy and update

One-to-Many Deploy and Update
CMC and Virtual Media File Share enable customers to quickly and simply deploy OS images and update to one or many blades in a chassis without agents, additional software or using Pre-Boot eXecution Environment (PXE).

Proactive Management
CMC provides immediate access to system status, issues and alerts through a single, easy-to-use interface plus one-click access to key functions to help quickly resolve issues.
