Hey all, I am very new to the IT field so please forgive my ignorance in all this. I need help figuring out how dell servers (specifically poweredge) are named. As in I don’t know if a 730 is better than a 810 or whatnot, or if there are general rules of thumb to judge the newness of a server based on the name standard.
I know with hp proliant they have generation numbers to help, but that’s where my knowledge ends.
Thank you!
The important digit is the middle one which is the generation and x10 is oldest. Current gen is x60. The x is type with 1 being mist basic 1 CPU box and it goes up from there. Odd numbers tend to be 2u and even 1u but there are exceptions to that. The 0 on the end means Intel, a 5 would be amd.
