Dell today announced the PowerEdgeTM  SC430 will be among the first servers to feature the enhanced performance enabled by Intel's new dual-core processor technology.

Dual-core technology combines two processing units into a single processor chip. The result can be dramatic increases in performance and power efficiency compared to single-core processors, especially when running multiple applications.

The PowerEdge SC430 brings great performance and productivity to small business environments at an affordable price. In addition to the excellent processor performance, the PowerEdge SC430 adds 50 percent more storage capacity and 50 percent more high-speed PCI Express I/O slots than its predecessor, the PowerEdge SC420.

The server is ideal for e-mail, file/print serving and shared Internet access. It is easy to deploy and manage and is designed for small businesses looking to upgrade from existing peer-to-peer networks, or for those looking for their first general-purpose server.

With the latest dual-core, memory and I/O technology, the PowerEdge SC430 gives customers more investment protection and productivity than ever before in a small-business tower server.

The enhanced flexibility and performance of the PowerEdge SC430 coupled with Dell's management utilities, software and professional services help customers get the most value from their technology investment.

Customers with limited IT resources or expertise will find the PowerEdge SC430 easy to set up, run and troubleshoot. The server comes standard with Dell Server Assistant for PowerEdge SC, a management utility designed to make OS installation quick and easy.

For customers looking to transition to a client-server environment, Dell offers Microsoft® Windows®  Small Business Server (SBS) 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) with the PowerEdge SC430.

Dell provides a full range of enterprise services tailored to meet the needs of small business. Customers in the U.S. buying PowerEdge SC430 can purchase Dell's Custom Network Installation Assessment which helps them develop a sound technology strategy for their small business environment.

"The PowerEdge SC430 is a great first step in delivering the performance and power efficiency of dual-core technology," said Jeff Clarke, senior vice president, Dell Product Group.
