Powerful and efficient 1-socket rack server for small and medium businesses (SMB) and remote office/branch office (ROBO).

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R230 is a powerful and versatile server that is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) looking to upgrade their IT infrastructure or for larger institutions seeking a reliable remote office/branch office (ROBO) solution. With its advanced features and capabilities, the R230 is an excellent choice for a first server or replacement server.

Compared to its predecessor, the Dell PowerEdge R220, the R230 offers several significant improvements. These include greater memory capacity, more hard drives and I/O slots, and better data throughput and input/output operations per second (IOPs) performance. These enhancements allow the R230 to handle more demanding workloads and applications with ease, providing users with a more responsive and efficient computing experience.

One of the key advantages of the Dell EMC PowerEdge R230 is its support for the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC8) with Lifecycle Controller. This advanced management tool allows users to remotely monitor, manage, and troubleshoot their servers from anywhere in the world, making it an excellent choice for ROBOs of large institutions. With the iDRAC8, users can quickly and easily deploy, update, and configure their servers, ensuring that they always run at peak performance.
