Full Story
Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) expands the
industry's top-selling server portfolio with performance and
efficiency upgrades for wherever Dell PowerEdge is
deployed. These servers represent the latest generation of
server innovation for Dell's largest and smallest customers.
Built with versatility in mind, these new Dell PowerEdge servers
offer efficient configurations that will simplify operations for
organizations including CSPs of all sizes, small business owners
and those operating at the edge. With performance improvements
across the new servers, customers have the compute power to handle
a range of workloads.
"Our customers are turning to our newest servers to run more
compute-intensive workloads while trying to manage power and
emissions," said Travis Vigil,
senior vice president, Infrastructure Solutions Group Product
Management, Dell Technologies. "This builds on our 30 years of
experience where Dell PowerEdge has been the backbone of IT
infrastructure, helping customers adapt to evolving business needs
and supporting workloads across edge, core data centers and the
cloud."
Enhanced performance and efficiency for cloud service
providers
New Dell PowerEdge R670 CSP Edition and R770 CSP Edition
servers offer cloud service providers optimal performance for
high performance computing, including high-density and scale-out
cloud workloads like virtualization and data analytics.
Additionally, through the Dell Early Access Program, customers can
evaluate these new server designs so CSPs can scale production from
day one of availability.
Designed with Smart Cooling technology, these servers are energy
efficient and intelligently adapt to changing environments. The
compact form factor with front I/O for cold aisle serviceability
and versatile configurations makes these servers simpler to deploy
and service, making them ideal for specialized data centers.
Bringing the Intel® Xeon® 6 Efficient core processor to market
first, customers will see up to 2.3x more performance per rack
compared to the previous generation.1 These servers are
equipped with Dell Open Server Manager built on
OpenBMCTM to simplify management in an open ecosystem
for large, heterogeneous environments.
These new CSP Edition servers mark the debut of the Data Center
– Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS) architecture in the Dell
PowerEdge portfolio. This DC-MHS specification supports easier
server integration into existing infrastructure by standardizing
servers, improving design and customer choice. Part of the Open
Compute Project, DC-MHS is a collaboration between six companies,
including Dell Technologies and Intel, focused on redesigning
hardware technology to make data center, edge and enterprise
infrastructure more interoperable.
"Intel is excited to have Dell Technologies at the forefront of
our development on the latest generation of Intel® Xeon® 6
processor, enabling customers across industries to quickly and
seamlessly deliver on the promise of high density, efficient
compute for AI datacenters of the future," said Ryan Tabrah, Vice President & General
Manager of Intel® Xeon® Efficient-core Products, Intel
Corporation.
Smaller footprint, double the performance
The Dell PowerEdge T160 and R260 servers bring compact
computing to small businesses and remote offices looking for
powerful, dense configurations. At almost half the physical
footprint (42%), the stackable T160 offers a lower carbon footprint
via the increased use of sustainable materials including an
unpainted metal chassis. The server is up to 23% more power
efficient compared to the previous generation.2 The R260
also has a reduced physical footprint (24%), increasing its
versatility.
Both servers feature the Intel® Xeon® E-2400 Processors,
offering double the performance compared to the previous
generation.3 The T160 is ideal for organizations looking
to do real-time data processing at near-edge installations. The
R260 works well for deploying near-edge virtualization, minimizing
latency up to 50%.4 For those working in harsh
environments, the T160 and R260 are equipped with filter bezels,
shielding the inner hardware from dust and grease particles,
helping ensure unobstructed airflow for better performance and
acoustics.
"Technology that maximizes energy efficiency and infrastructure
density without compromising performance is critical for modern
sustainable datacenter operations," said Kuba Stolarski, research vice president, IDC
Enterprise Infrastructure Practice. "Dell's portfolio offers
organizations of all sizes innovative server solutions to meet
their sustainability goals while simplifying management and
upleveling performance with the current generation of
technology."
