Dell has launched its latest Dell PowerEdge servers utilizing the latest family of 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
The Round Rock, Texas-based company said the new servers offer performance up to 2.9 times better than AI inference.
Rajesh Pohani, a vice president of Dell, said in a press briefing that it’s all about energy efficiency, safety, reliability and digital transformation. He said most IT executives plan to deploy more technology at the edge and in the cloud.
Dell is showing off 13 models of its next-generation Dell PowerEdge servers, designed to accelerate performance and reliability for high-performance computing in core data centers, large-scale public clouds and edge locations.
It unveils rack, tower and multi-node PowerEdge servers, featuring Dell software and technical enhancements, such as a new Smart Flow design, to improve energy and cost efficiency. Dell’s extensive APEX capabilities allow organizations to take an as-a-service approach, enabling more effective IT operations that make the most of computing resources while minimizing risk, the company said.
“We’re refreshing the core portfolio with the latest core technology like” the Intel and Advanced Micro Devices chips, Pohani said.
New Dell PowerEdge servers are designed to meet the needs of a range of demanding workloads, from AI and analytics to large-scale databases. The expanded portfolio announced in November 2022, including the PowerEdge XE server family with Nvidia H100 Tensor Core GPUs and the full-stack Nvidia AI Enterprise software suite, builds a production AI platform on advancements in artificial intelligence. intelligence and machine learning.
New servers for cloud service providers
Dell introduced its PowerEdge HS5610 and HS5620 servers, delivering optimized, custom solutions for cloud service providers managing large-scale, multi-vendor data centers. Available in both 1U (single unit) and 2U form factors, these new two-socket servers include cold aisle service configurations and are available with Dell Open Server Manager, an OpenBMC-based system management solution to simplify multi-vendor fleet management.
The servers offer enhanced performance, including the Dell PowerEdge R760, which delivers up to 2.9x better AI inference on 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with Intel Deep Learning Boost and Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions.
The PowerEdge R760 also offers up to 20% more VDI users3 and more than 50% more SAP Sales & Distribution users on a single server, compared to the previous generation. PowerEdge systems can be ordered with Nvidia Bluefield-2 data processing units to provide additional offload, acceleration and workload isolation capabilities, a power efficiency idea for private, hybrid and multicloud deployments.
Dell has added monitoring software and new services to make server management easier. It has Dell CloudIQ, ProDeploy services, iDRAC9 and more to make it easier to deploy systems.
“With improvements in genomic sequencing technology and new methods in the lab driving data growth, data flows will continue to grow in the future. To ensure our continued innovation, we need to process data quickly and efficiently,” Pete Clapham, computer science group leader at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, said in a statement. “Dell PowerEdge servers are well designed, have built-in security, and deliver the performance to accelerate scientific discovery and bring innovation to the world faster.”
Designed for durability
Dell PowerEdge servers are designed with durability in mind, offering customers three times better performance compared to 14th generation PowerEdge servers with Intel Xeon Scalable processors introduced in 2017. systems.
Features include Dell Smart Flow design, Dell OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager 3.0 software and Dell OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager 3.0 software.
“Today’s modern data center requires continuous performance improvements for complex workloads such as AI, ML and VDI,” said Kuba Stolarski, research vice president at IDC Enterprise Infrastructure Practice, in a statement. “As data center operators try to keep up with demand from these resource-hungry workloads, they also need to prioritize environmental and security goals. With the new Smart Flow design, coupled with improvements to power and cooling management tools, Dell offers organizations significant improvements in efficient server operation in addition to the brutal performance gains in the latest generation of servers.”
Reliability and safety are key
PowerEdge servers help accelerate Zero Trust adoption across organizations’ IT environments. The devices continually verify access, assuming that each user and device poses a potential threat. At the hardware level, the silicon-based hardware root of trust, with elements such as the Dell Secured Component Verification (SCV), helps verify supply chain security from design to delivery. In addition, multi-factor authentication and integrated iDRAC authenticates users before granting access.
A secure supply chain also enables customers to advance their Zero Trust approach. Dell SCV provides cryptographic verification of components, extending supply chain security to the customer’s location.
The servers will debut in February and April, with compute services arriving in the second half of 2023.
