Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) enhances its leading server portfolio with new performance and efficiency upgrades, catering to various customer needs from large enterprises to small businesses and CSPs. The latest Dell PowerEdge servers are designed for versatility and efficiency, simplifying operations across diverse environments.
“Our latest servers help customers manage power and emissions while running more compute-intensive workloads,” said Travis Vigil, Senior Vice President, Infrastructure Solutions Group Product Management at Dell Technologies. “With 30 years of experience, Dell PowerEdge remains a backbone of IT infrastructure, supporting workloads from edge to core data centers and the cloud.”
Enhanced Performance and Efficiency for CSPs
The new Dell PowerEdge R670 CSP Edition and R770 CSP Edition servers provide optimal performance for high-density and scale-out cloud workloads such as virtualization and data analytics. Available through the Dell Early Access Program, these servers allow CSPs to scale production immediately upon release.
Featuring Smart Cooling technology, these servers are energy efficient and adaptable to changing environments. Their compact design, with front I/O for cold aisle serviceability, simplifies deployment and maintenance, making them suitable for specialized data centers.
Equipped with the Intel® Xeon® 6 Efficient core processor, these servers deliver up to 2.3 times more performance per rack compared to previous generations. The Dell Open Server Manager, built on OpenBMC™, simplifies management in large, heterogeneous environments.
These new CSP Edition servers debut the Data Center – Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS) architecture in Dell’s portfolio, standardizing servers for easier integration into existing infrastructures. This initiative, part of the Open Compute Project, aims to enhance interoperability across data center, edge, and enterprise infrastructures.
“Intel is thrilled to have Dell Technologies at the forefront of developing our latest Intel® Xeon® 6 processor, enabling high-density, efficient compute for future AI datacenters,” 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 offer compact, powerful configurations for small businesses and remote offices. The T160, at nearly half the size of its predecessor, boasts a lower carbon footprint and increased power efficiency. The R260, with a 24% smaller footprint, enhances versatility.
Both servers feature Intel® Xeon® E-2400 Processors, doubling performance compared to previous generations. The T160 is ideal for real-time data processing near-edge, while the R260 excels in near-edge virtualization, reducing latency by up to 50%. Equipped with filter bezels, these servers are protected from dust and grease, ensuring better performance and acoustics.
“Maximizing energy efficiency and infrastructure density without compromising performance is vital for sustainable datacenter operations,” said Kuba Stolarski, Research Vice President, IDC Enterprise Infrastructure Practice. “Dell’s innovative server solutions help organizations achieve sustainability goals while enhancing performance with the latest technology.”
