Frequently asked questions
Which Types of Businesses Are Dell Servers Suitable For?
The Dell PowerEdge family has tower models for offices, rack models for server rooms and rugged models for edge sites. We choose the series by installation site and workload.

Capacity can grow later with memory, disk and expansion card slots. We take your growth plan into account when choosing.
Which Dell PowerEdge series should we select?
For a server room or a data center, we recommend R-Series rack servers. Offices without a cabinet use T-Series tower servers. The XR-Series is right for the edge, and the XE-Series for AI workloads that need GPUs. We make the choice together by the workload and the growth plan.
Which operating system do you install on a Dell server?
We install Windows Server, Linux or a virtualization platform such as Proxmox VE, Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware. Before the installation, we check the compatibility of the version with the server model in the manufacturer's compatibility list.
