Dell is bolstering its product roster for small and medium-size businesses with new servers and the announcement of new switches.

The Round Rock, Texas, company is expected to release the PowerEdge 700 tower server and the 750 rack server with support for the latest Pentium 4 processors from Intel on Monday. The new processors are based on Intel's 90 nanometer Prescott core, which offers double the amount of cache of previous Pentium 4 chips and a faster front-side bus.

The two servers are designed for basic tasks such as file and print serving or Web applications, but come with a number of features usually found on more expensive enterprise-class servers, says Russ Ray, senior product manager with Dell's enterprise group.

For example, the servers support Dell's remote management services that allow them to be configured across the Internet. They also come with multiple hard drives with support for RAID technology that allows users to remove and install hard drives without having to reboot the machine.
