Dell launches Energy Star certified PowerEdge servers
Saturday, July 4, 2009
Dell's new PowerEdge R610 and R710 servers are the company's first to meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star specifications for servers.
Dell worked with the EPA to develop the new energy-efficiency specification for servers, which were released in May, and claims to be the first major vendor to certify entire platforms under the server specification.
In addition, Dell chose the default power management settings to meet the EPA's requirements for Energy Star compliance for OptiPlex platforms, which have been available since 2003. The Round Rock, Texas-based vendor also reduced the amount of time required by the EPA for Energy Star compliance from 30 minutes of inactivity to 15 minutes for the computer to enter the low-power mode.
