Overview Tech Specs I/O Options Service and Support Storage Solutions Exceptional I/O Capability The M805 helps ensure high availability and redundancy by delivering full fabric redundancy (on all 3 fabrics) for exceptional I/O capacity. Increased RAM Capacity Memory is a critically important component to virtualisation and database performance. Expanding to a full-height form factor enabled Dell to greatly increase the total memory capacity of the M805 with 16 DIMMs slots and up to 128GB of total RAM. Enhanced Virtualisation Performance The Dell PowerEdge M805 Blade Server allows quick virtualisation with software from leading industry vendors with an SD card for embedded hypervisors. At the hardware level, AMD Rapid Virtualisation Indexing utilises Nested Page Table technology that allows virtual machines to directly manage memory. Utilising on-die silicon resources, Rapid Virtualisation Indexing helps reduce hypervisor cycles and the associated performance penalty that is commonly associated with virtualisation.

Intel® IP Network Server NSC2U

Intel® IP Network Server NSC2UThe Intel® IP Network Server NSC2U, featuring the Intel® Xeon® processors 5400Δ and 5300Δ series, provides extended lifecycle support and improved performance-per-watt over previous-generation rack-mount servers. Due to high I/O throughput and performance, the NSC2U is an excellent choice for network security applications with large I/O requirements, including intrusion detection/intrusion prevention, VPN/firewall, and unified threat management solutions.

The NSC2U features shallow depth, DC power capabilities, and the ruggedness usually found on carrier-grade servers. It is well suited for enterprise application acceleration and content caching, and is an ideal platform for running Telco SoIP, including IMS, IPTV, video on demand (VoD), SIP application servers, IP-PBX, and IP-PSTN gateways.
