Originally intended for enterprise datacenter and ISP applications, the Dell PowerEdge 1855 is still an excellent choice for those looking for an affordable yet powerful rack-dense blade system with a wide range of I/O module options.
The 7U enclosure is capable of housing up to ten PE 1855 blade servers, with a wide range of I/O module options and add-ons, including support for Fibre Channel SANs. The unit requires 220V power for operation, and four hot-swappable 2100 watt power supplies provide total power redundancy. Either analog or digital KVM's available.
