As the only one of the top five server vendors to grow server revenues in Q4 2011, Dell continues to innovate to deliver features that are industry firsts and make the Power Edge 12th generation servers the company's highest performing, most manageable servers ever. "Dell designed the new Power Edge servers with input gathered from more than 7,700 customer interactions in 17 countries across four continents," said Sonia Bashir Kabir, country manager, Dell Bangladesh at the 12G Launch held on May 29th at Ruposhi Bangla Hotel. "These servers will replace technology that was previously overpriced, complex and underutilised, and give customers the power to do more while saving time, money and resources. Another important thing to highlight specifically for Bangladesh is that these servers can run at much higher ambient temperatures, saving tremendous operational costs," she added. The 16 new blade, rack and tower servers are optimised for mission-critical applications ranging from collaboration to high-performance computing. The second generation of lifecycle automation defines industry standards with streamlined systems management and improved efficiency.

Now the second generation, iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller 2.0, enables customers to uniformly manage the deployment, updating, monitoring and maintenance of the server lifecycle.
