Dell PowerEdge Server
Dell Technologies is expanding its server product portfolio by adding 13 new generation servers to the Dell PowerEdge server family to address the challenges of today’s increasingly large and diverse workloads. One of them is the need for artificial intelligence.
According to Dell, this new generation of PowerEdge rack, tower and multi-node servers carries the fourth generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor. This rollout includes software updates, such as the new Smart Flow design, which is designed to improve energy and cost efficiency. This new product line is designed for reliable computing in a variety of environments, in data centers, large-scale public clouds, and edge locations.
This latest line of servers arguably comes with a complete package. Jeff Boudreau, President and General Manager, Infrastructure Solutions Group, Dell Technologies, explained, “This latest generation of Dell PowerEdge servers offers innovations that raise the bar for power efficiency, performance, and reliability, and simplify how Zero Trust is implemented for greater security across environments. IT.
Meanwhile Chris Kelly, Senior Vice President, Data Center Solutions, Asia Pacific and Japan, Dell Technologies, explained that the latest generation of Dell Power Edge server portfolio is presented to meet the needs of growing workloads.
“Companies in Asia Pacific and Japan are having to deal with an increasing amount of data and decisions to grow their business and change their operational activities,” said Kelly. According to him, the best-selling server portfolio in the industry based on IDC Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker for Q3 2022 will also help increase scalability, automation, cyber resilience, and energy efficiency.
This expanded server portfolio also includes the PowerEdge XE server line with NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite for the production of a full stack artificial intelligence platform, building on the latest advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.
The Dell PowerEdge HS5610 and HS5620 are presented for cloud service providers managing large multi-vendor data centers. Available in 1U and 2U form factors, the two-socket servers that will be available worldwide this April are serviceable cold aisle configurations and feature Dell Open Server Manager.
Improved Performance and Management
The latest generation of PowerEdge servers also offer performance improvements, for example the Dell PowerEdge R760 has up to 2.9 times better AI inference capabilities on fourth generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with Intel Deep Learning Boost and Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions. The server, which will be available in February 2023, also offers an increase in VDI users of up to 20% and an increase in SAP Sales & Distribution users on one server of more than 50%, compared to the previous generation.
This latest generation of servers also includes improved monitoring software and includes a variety of new services to make server management easier. One of them is Dell CloudIQ which combines proactive monitoring, machine learning, and predictive analytics while offering a comprehensive view of servers wherever servers are located.
Meanwhile Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) software will help customers when they need increased server automation and intelligence.
Designed for Sustainability
Dell Technologies also promotes a sustainable design that is embedded in this new line of servers. With three times the performance increase over 14th generation servers, the new PowerEdge saves space but is more powerful and efficient.
The latest PowerEdge features a Dell Smart Flow design that can increase airflow and reduce fan power by up to 52% compared to the previous generation of servers.
Dell also provides Dell OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager 3.0 software to better manage efficiency and cooling targets, monitor carbon emissions, and set power caps up to 82% faster to limit total energy use. The latest generation of Dell PowerEdge servers will also be available with EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) certification. Four servers will be EPEAT silver certified, and 46 systems will be EPEAT bronze certified.
Security As Main Basis
The latest generation of PowerEdge servers is also promised to accelerate Zero Trust adoption in corporate IT environments. The device will continue to verify access based on the assumption that each user and device are a potential threat. On the hardware side, the device also provides a silicon-based root of trust, with elements including Dell Secured Component Verification (SCV), helping verify supply chain security, from design to delivery.
A secure supply chain also allows customers to accelerate their Zero Trust approach. Dell SCV offers cryptographic verification of components that extends supply chain security to customer locations.
