Dell and SCO Deliver New System Certifications

Dell and SCO have been busy recently certifying several of Dell's next generation servers. SCO customers and partners have confidence that they will continue to receive support for new Dell hardware. Furthermore, if SCO partners need specific Dell hardware certified on SCO UNIX, Dell has committed to evaluate all requests. "We continue to have a conduit into Dell to win customer opportunities on Dell hardware," said Wilson Lee, SCO Account Executive.

Dell has recently certified the following PowerEdge™ Servers on SCO UNIX: M600, M605, T300, 2950 III, and the 1950 III.

The Dell PowerEdge M600 and M605 are 2-Socket Intel and AMD Quad-Core Half Height Blade Servers which deliver ultra high density, high performance, and power efficient computing. These blades coupled with the M1000e Modular Blade Enclosure are a breakthrough in enterprise server architecture combating datacenter sprawl, reducing IT complexity, and delivering one of the most energy efficient, flexible, and manageable blade server products on the market.

Dell's most versatile server, the PowerEdgeTM 2950 III offers superior 2-Socket virtualization performance combined with optional, factory integrated virtualization capabilities. Dell continues to simplify virtualization by streamlining virtualization deployment and providing ease of use in virtual infrastructures. By factory integrating VMware® ESXi 3.5, customers receive VMware capabilities and migration of virtual machines within a few clicks of a mouse.

The ultra-thin Intel®-based DellTM PowerEdgeTM 1950 III 2-Socket 1U rack server provides maximum performance while requiring minimal space and energy needs, helping to reduce energy and data center costs. The high concentration of computing power and redundancy makes the PowerEdge 1950 III 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.

For those looking for a Tower system, Dell's PowerEdgeTM T300 1-Socket Server delivers an excellent feature set expandable to include redundant power supplies, hot-plug hard drives and Quad-Core Intel Processors. Dell has long proven to be one of the most customizable platforms in the industry and this is no exception allowing this server to meet the needs of a wide variety of customers looking for an extreme value while providing high performance.
