Dell has launched innovations across its industry-leading infrastructure portfolio to help customers accelerate their data center modernization journeys
Dell Technologies has introduced advancements across its industry-leadingserver, storage and data protection portfolios designed to help organizationsachieve data center modernization.
Why It Matters:
Organizations are rethinking their IT strategies to respond to the rise of AI, the need to support both traditional and modern workloads and increased cyber threats.IT teams are moving toward disaggregatedinfrastructure that abstracts compute, storage and networking into shared resource pools to deliver improved scalability, efficiency and adaptability.
Dell Technologies server, storage and data protection innovations are designed to help customers rethink their IT infrastructure approach to bettermeet the needs of traditional and modern workloads.
Dell PowerEdge servers deliver advancedperformance, energy efficiencyand scalability
Dell PowerEdge R470, R570, R670 and R770 serverswithIntel Xeon 6 Processors with P-cores are single and double-socket servers in 1U and 2U form factors that easilyhandle demanding traditional and emerging workloads like HPC, virtualization, analytics and AI inferencing:
Improves Workload Consolidation: Consolidatelegacy platforms, freeing up power and up to 80% of spaceper 42U rack with the Dell PowerEdge R770.These systemssave up to half of the energy costs and greenhouse gasemissions, andsupport up to 50% more cores per processors1 and 67% increased performance.2 Thisreducesdata center footprints to helpachieve sustainability goals and lower overall total cost of ownership without sacrificing performance.
Delivers Extreme Power with Efficiency: The powerful and efficient Dell PowerEdge R570 achieves record-breaking Intel performance per watt, helping enterprises save on energy costs while maintaining high performance workloads.3
Future-Ready Designs: Simplify and future-proof operations with theData Center – Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS)architecture, as part of the Open Compute Project (OCP). DC-MHS standardizes server design, supporting easier integration into existing infrastructure, improving customer choice.
Streamlined management: PowerEdge servers deliver streamlined management and robust protection through Dell OpenManage enhancements and Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (IDRAC 10) updates, including real-time monitoring. When paired with PERC13 PCIe Gen 5 HW Raid controller, customers can see up to a 33X reduction in write latency.4
“From storage to servers to networking to data protection, only Dell Technologies provides an end-to-end disaggregated infrastructure portfolio that helps customers reduce complexity, increase IT agility and accelerate data center modernization.”
