The next generation of the Dell PowerEdge server family
The first of the new PowerEdge servers includes the PowerEdge R730xd, R730, and R630 rack, the blade server M630, and the tower server T630, which use the latest family of Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 processors. Combined with Dell's full range of corporate IT infrastructure, software and services, the new Dell PowerEdge servers allow you to increase the level of operational efficiency and flexibility at any scale, for the most demanding applications and environments. The 13th generation PowerEdge server features features designed to inspire customer feedback and take advantage of technological innovations in storage, processing power and memory, combined with industry-leading systems management capabilities, giving customers options that allow them to take advantage of industry trends in areas such as cloud computing, mobility, big data and software-defined technologies.
The company's new PowerEdge servers are designed to accelerate applications by bringing data closer to the processor for increased performance.
• With cost effective SATA 1,8 inch flash drives, the PowerEdge R630 can deliver up to 2,4 times higher IOPS (I / O per second) performance in the same space than 2,5 inch solid state drives. 1
• With PowerEdge R730xd, Dell also provides up to 100TB storage for workloads, such as Microsoft Exchange, supporting up to 50 percent increase in mailbox size compared to previous generation servers. 2
The new storage technology on the server allows customers to:
• Speed up the most important data, delivering high performance with NVMe Express Flash storage and installation of Dell Fluid Cache for SAN and SanDisk DAS Cache.
• Support extremely large data sets (zone large datasets) by doubling the performance of RAID and choice for dual PERC9 RAID controllers.
• Support software defined storage and optimized data transfer technologies, providing hybrid storage implementations within the server node, with prioritization capabilities.
New Dell Storage SC4020 for large-scale, business-class features on smaller infrastructures
With the New Dell Storage SC4020, customers can achieve impressive performance in storage solutions exclusively with flash drives - costing up to 72 percent less than competing competing technologies1 - or a highly efficient combination of high-performance flash drives and low storage costs using conventional disks, in the same array. This solution reflects the philosophy of Dell's customer-centric, business family of datacenter solutions, which includes storage solutions designed to make IT infrastructure more efficient and practical.
Utilizing technology from both Dell EqualLogic products and Dell Compellent solutions, the Dell Storage SC4020 integrates full-featured Dell Storage Center 6.5 storage software and the EqualLogic iSCSI software stack. It also supports Fiber Channel and iSCSI connectivity and is designed to offer the advanced capabilities of larger SAN networks, in a solution with size and price for medium-scale installations.
The Dell Storage SC4020 is also ideally paired for replication with same-type SC4020 or Dell Compellent SC8000 arrays, allowing customers to seamlessly connect and manage all arrays in a single, centralized management platform that can help simplify operations and reducing the total cost of ownership. New system also offers customers:
• Unprecedented value with a very efficient SAN in limited size, making it ideal for medium-scale needs and infrastructure in remote offices or branches
• Business class performance with dual controller and SAN optimized for infrastructure exclusively with flash drives or hybrid configuration with SSD and conventional drives
• Extremely intelligent operation with advanced levels of automation and control to automatically optimize the client's storage environment
• Advanced features of the software, such as automated real-time prioritization, data replication, thin provisioning support, λήψη snapshots and central management for multiple local and remote SANs
• Permanent software license that allows customers to pay only once for software features, which even applies to hardware upgrades
• Single storage with block and file data management capability, with the Fluid File System, from a management console
• World class company support services that provide a combination of centralized support and 24 συστήματος 7 system monitoring, helping to improve system performance and stability.
