Dell PowerEdge T150 Tower Server (M83C9) – Ideal for Small Businesses in Nairobi

Long Description

The Dell PowerEdge T150 Tower Server (M83C9) is a reliable and cost-effective entry-level server designed to meet the computing needs of small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), remote offices, and workgroups in Nairobi, Kenya. This 15th-generation PowerEdge server, with its compact tower form factor, offers a solid foundation for essential business applications while providing room for future growth.

At its core, the T150 is powered by an Intel Xeon E-2314 processor. This 4-core, 4-thread CPU operates at a base clock speed of 2.8GHz and can reach up to 4.5GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology. The Xeon E-2314 is specifically designed for server environments, providing stable and efficient performance for workloads such as file and print sharing, email services, web hosting, and small database applications. Its 8MB Intel Smart Cache further enhances data access speed.

The server comes equipped with 8GB of DDR4 UDIMM RAM, running at a speed of 3200MT/s and supporting Error-Correcting Code (ECC). ECC memory is crucial for server environments as it automatically detects and corrects data corruption, ensuring data integrity and system stability – a vital feature for business-critical operations. While 8GB is sufficient for basic server roles, the T150 offers four DIMM slots, allowing for expansion up to a maximum of 128GB of memory (using 32GB UDIMMs), providing ample scalability as your business needs evolve.

For storage, this configuration includes a 1TB 3.5-inch SATA HDD (Hard Disk Drive) operating at 7200 RPM. This provides a good balance of storage capacity and cost-effectiveness for general data storage and file serving. The PowerEdge T150 chassis supports four 3.5-inch cabled drive bays, giving you flexibility to expand storage by adding more HDDs or even SSDs for improved performance. While this specific model does not include a dedicated hardware RAID controller, it supports software RAID configurations (RAID 0, 1, 5) with the embedded SATA controller for data redundancy.

Network connectivity is provided by a Broadcom 5720 Dual Port 1Gb On-Board LOM (LAN on Motherboard). These two Gigabit Ethernet ports offer reliable and high-speed network access, supporting features like network teaming and failover for enhanced availability.

For simplified server management, the T150 integrates iDRAC9 Basic 15G. iDRAC (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) allows for remote server management, monitoring, and troubleshooting, even when the server’s operating system is offline. This feature is invaluable for IT administrators in Nairobi, enabling them to manage the server efficiently from virtually anywhere.

The server is housed in a compact 4U mini-tower form factor, making it suitable for deployment in small office spaces without requiring dedicated server racks. It features multiple USB ports (2 x USB 3.0, 5 x USB 2.0), a VGA port for display output, and a serial port for legacy device support. It also includes several PCIe expansion slots (1×16 Gen4, 1×4 Gen4, 1×4 Gen3, 1×1 Gen3) for adding high-performance expansion cards like dedicated RAID controllers, additional network interfaces, or other specialized peripherals, further enhancing its adaptability.

The Dell PowerEdge T150 is compatible with a variety of server operating systems and hypervisors, including Microsoft Windows Server, various Linux distributions (like Ubuntu Server LTS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server), and VMware ESXi, providing flexibility in deploying your preferred environment. This specific model typically ships without an operating system pre-installed, allowing for custom deployment.

This server comes with a 1-Year Warranty, providing peace of mind and access to Dell’s support services in Kenya for any hardware-related issues.
