help achieve better business application performance and business
continuity.
“Dell designed the new PowerEdge servers with
input gathered from more than 7,700 customer interactions in 17 countries
across four continents,” said Christopher Papa, Country Manager, Dell
Philippines. “Our customers
told us that they need end-to-end solutions to handle the complex workload
problems they face every day. As such, we built our new generation of servers, systems management
and workload solutions to address the needs of business end users who
require maximum performance to run mission-critical applications and IT
departments which demand more efficient, secure and reliable operations.”

The new PowerEdge R820, R720, R720xd and R620
rack servers, the M620 blade server, the T620 tower server and C6220 based on a
shared Dell infrastructure server built on the Intel® Xeon®

solution including Dell’s extensive portfolio of storage, networking and client
components and professional IT services. The next-generation PowerEdge servers,
along with systems management and workload solutions, are designed to deliver performance and management gains to
