Dell Unveils PowerEdge Servers for Versatile Workloads

Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) expands its renowned server lineup, introducing upgraded performance and efficiency enhancements across its Dell PowerEdge range. This latest generation of servers is tailored to meet the diverse needs of both large enterprises and small businesses alike.

The new Dell PowerEdge servers are engineered with versatility at their core, offering streamlined configurations to simplify operations for organizations of all sizes, including cloud service providers (CSPs) and those operating at the network edge. With significant performance enhancements, these servers empower customers to efficiently manage a wide spectrum of workloads.

Travis Vigil, Senior Vice President of Infrastructure Solutions Group Product Management at Dell Technologies, emphasized, “Our newest servers are designed to meet the increasing demand for compute-intensive workloads while addressing concerns related to power consumption and environmental impact. Building on our three decades of expertise, Dell PowerEdge continues to serve as the cornerstone of IT infrastructure, supporting evolving business requirements across edge, core data centers, and the cloud.”

Enhanced Performance for Cloud Service Providers

The introduction of the new Dell PowerEdge R670 CSP Edition and R770 CSP Edition servers caters specifically to cloud service providers, offering optimal performance for high-density computing tasks such as virtualization and data analytics. Equipped with Smart Cooling technology, these servers are not only energy-efficient but also adaptable to changing environmental conditions. Their compact form factor and front I/O design facilitate easy deployment and servicing, making them well-suited for specialized data centers.

The incorporation of the Intel® Xeon® 6 Efficient core processor enables these servers to deliver up to 2.3 times more performance per rack compared to the previous generation. Additionally, the implementation of Dell Open Server Manager, built on OpenBMC™, simplifies management within large, heterogeneous environments.

These new CSP Edition servers also introduce the Data Center – Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS) architecture to the Dell PowerEdge portfolio. This specification, developed in collaboration with industry partners including Intel, standardizes servers, enhances design flexibility, and promotes interoperability within existing infrastructure, ultimately simplifying server integration for customers.

Compact Computing Solutions for Small Businesses

The Dell PowerEdge T160 and R260 servers offer powerful, dense configurations tailored for small businesses and remote offices. With a significantly reduced physical footprint compared to their predecessors, these servers deliver double the performance while maintaining energy efficiency. The T160, in particular, is well-suited for real-time data processing at near-edge installations, while the R260 excels in near-edge virtualization deployments, reducing latency by up to 50%.

Both servers feature Intel® Xeon® E-2400 Processors and are equipped with filter bezels to safeguard internal hardware from environmental contaminants, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

In a statement, Kuba Stolarski, Research Vice President at IDC Enterprise Infrastructure Practice, emphasized the importance of technology that maximizes energy efficiency and infrastructure density without compromising performance, highlighting Dell’s commitment to offering innovative server solutions to meet sustainability goals while enhancing performance and simplifying management.

These new Dell PowerEdge servers underscore Dell Technologies’ dedication to delivering cutting-edge solutions that address the evolving needs of modern businesses across diverse environments.
