Only decades ago, computers were so massive that they filled entire rooms and took multiple people to operate. Now, we carry highly advanced computers in our pockets and wear them on our wrists. Technology is always changing, and it’s never going to stop.
As technology advances, it evolves to fulfill different functions and needs. Dell server generations renew every three to four years. With each generation, the chassis frame stays the same, but the servers are updated with faster processors and better expansion cards.
Different models of Dell servers are used for different things; there’s no “one size fits all” server.
There are five main types of Dell servers:
• C = Cloud: Modular server nodes for hyper-scale environments
• F = Flexibility: Hybrid rack-based sleds for rack-based FX2/FX2s enclosure
• M = Modular: Blade servers and other items for the M1000e and/or VRTX enclosure
• R = Rack-mountable servers
• T = Tower servers
There is in these days more different purpose on Dell servers like latest DELL EMC Data Domain and Data Protection - servers.
