Product of the Year

The Dell PowerEdge 6650 is an innovative server that delivers power, flexibility and impressive performance for an attractive price--$31,885 list (when tested), including the operating system. No single feature makes the 6500 the best overall offering we encountered in the Storage & Server area during the past year; rather, the product's combination of functionality and value to the enterprise data center earns it the top spot. Dell combines the seemingly universally utilized ServerWorks Grand Champion HE chipset with the serviceability we seek in a server, all packaged in an aesthetically pleasing design with good rack features, including a handy folding cable management system and the snazzy Dell Active Bezel lights that quickly alert managers when a system is in trouble.
