Dell’s New 12th Generation PowerEdge Servers Extend Performance and Efficiency Gains to Scale-out and Mainstream Customers
15 5월 2012 - 12:00AM
Business Wire
Dell today announced additions to the PowerEdge portfolio with
new blade, rack and tower servers designed to deliver value and
performance in demanding enterprise and mainstream environments.
The new blade servers offer strong performance gains and improved
efficiencies from the shared power, cooling and network
infrastructure, and professional IT services. The new tower and
rack servers are built to enhance customer IT infrastructures with
enterprise-class capabilities and tailored chassis designs for
small and midsize businesses.
Dell introduced industry-leading innovations in the PowerEdge
12th generation servers based on input gathered from more than
7,700 customer interactions in 17 countries across four continents.
The company was the first-to-ship servers based on the Intel Xeon
processor E5-2600 product family with the first wave of PowerEdge
12th generation servers in March 2012.
Extending the Benefits of the PowerEdge 12th
Generation Server Innovations
The new PowerEdge rack, tower and blade servers expand on Dell’s
commitment to deliver end-to-end solutions optimized for maximum
throughput from storage to switch to server to blade enclosure.
With these new PowerEdge servers customers can experience energy
efficiency, scalable storage, networking and security features at
an unprecedented price for performance. The new PowerEdge rack,
tower and blade servers include Intel® Xeon processor E5-2400 and
Intel Xeon processor E5-4600 product families.
The PowerEdge R820 is the world’s first 4-socket, 2U server with
Intel Xeon E5 product family processors. Customers using 4 socket
4U servers can now save computing space by replacing one HP
Proliant DL580 with two Dell PowerEdge R820 servers, for up to 24
more processing cores, 1TB more memory capacity and 3 times the
internal storage density. In addition, the PowerEdge R820 offers an
option for 4 front-accessible, hot-swappable Dell Express Flash
PCIe SSDs.
The PowerEdge M420 is the world’s only quarter height 2-socket
blade server, offering extreme computational density, performance
and efficiency. The PowerEdge M1000e, the only chassis in the world
with the thermal engineering to support individually serviceable,
enterprise-class, quarter-height blade servers, holds up to 32
PowerEdge M420s. Customers can stretch their infrastructure budget
farther by doubling the nodes per chassis with the greatest
2-socket density server on the planet in the PowerEdge M420 and the
Dell Force10 MXL 10 blade switch. The PowerEdge M420 is designed to
adhere to stringent government requirements while offering world
class density with no compromise to datacenter availability and
performance.
Maximize Operational Efficiency
Dell offers robust anytime, anywhere systems management of
platforms and infrastructure to simplify operations throughout the
server lifecycle, with key innovations including:
- Dell also significantly improved
cooling while increasing density in the PowerEdge M820, which is
the first four socket blade server capable of Fresh Air
configuration and allows customers to deploy highly dense solutions
while significantly decreasing cooling costs.
- The PowerEdge 12th generation servers
are the world’s only full generation of rack and tower servers to
all offer Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) with
Lifecycle Controller 2.0 for deploying, updating, maintaining and
monitoring their systems without a software management agent,
regardless of operating system. In addition, industry-leading
Chassis Management Controller (CMC) has been updated to support up
to 288 independently serviceable blade nodes, all from a single
console, using a single IP address.
Achieve More
Large and small businesses are continuously challenged to scale
appropriately; balancing the risks of either significantly
overpaying for equipment they do not use or being caught with
underpowered equipment and losing business cycles. The new
PowerEdge 12th generation servers can provide customers with
increased application performance, availability and scalability,
and key innovations including:
- The PowerEdge M820 blade servers are
loaded with extra memory to allow customers headroom to grow in the
future.
- With more processor cores, larger
memory capacity and greater I/O bandwidth than previous
generations, the R520, R420 and R320 rack servers, and the T420 and
T320 tower servers, can provide higher performance to small and
medium business users as well as departments and remote offices of
large enterprises and organizations, enabling them to deliver real
results faster.
- Small and midsized businesses can
deploy new levels of computational density via the PowerEdge M420
with 32 powerful nodes in just 10U of rack space without trading
off redundancy by providing hot-swappable, fault tolerant HHDs as
well as Failsafe Hypervisors.
Help Ensure Business Continuity
Downtime and data loss determine business revenue and
performance as companies are increasingly dependent on cloud-based
applications, virtualized solutions, and high performance
computing. Businesses must now deliver IT solutions that not only
ensure redundancy and maximize uptime, but can scale to address
increased demand while maintaining cost efficiency. Customers
running PowerEdge 12th generation servers can now benefit from
continual access to the applications that drive the business, with
innovations including:
- The new PowerEdge M420, M520 and M820
blade servers offer performance and efficiency improvements, and
leading features including hardware RAID and hot-swappable hard
drives.
- The world’s first full product family
portfolio to servers to offer enterprise-class RAS features for
redundancy and fault-tolerance, memory mirroring, memory sparing,
hot plug hard drives and redundant power supplies. This provides IT
administrators with continuity and consistency across their entire
server infrastructure from the datacenter to remote and mobile
locations.
- The industry’s first server family
portfolio to all offer Redundant Failsafe SD Hypervisors across the
entire family, so customers can take advantage of server
virtualization with built-in redundancy and fault tolerance.
Quotes
“Dell is experiencing exceptional demand for the first wave of
PowerEdge 12th generation servers from customers around the globe
looking to power their most demanding workload requirements. We are
now pleased to introduce a second wave of 12th generation servers
that delivers exceptional value for performance and continues our
successful integration of customer feedback and design
requirements. Dell is enabling customers to deliver results faster
through our tight integration of Dell servers, storage, networking,
client and services that take advantage of Dell’s latest
innovations resulting from both R&D and key acquisitions of
IP.” – Forrest Norrod, Vice President and General Manager, Dell
Server Solutions
“Dell’s 12th Generation PowerEdge servers take advantage of the
Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family’s leadership performance and
breakthrough I/O capabilities to offer optimized solutions for
customers’ diverse workloads,” said Boyd Davis, VP & GM of
Intel’s Datacenter Infrastructure Group. “By leveraging the
features of new Xeon processors, Dell’s new servers provide the
flexibility, value and performance that businesses demand in a
market that is ever less tolerant of compromise. Customers will
also benefit from key innovations such as Dell OpenManage Power
Center, which is built on top of Intel’s Node Manager solution for
monitoring and implementing policies for greater energy
efficiency.”
“Maximizing performance per watt is critical for increasing the
amount of high-performance computing (HPC) resources we can provide
from our existing data centers. In our testing, the Dell PowerEdge
R820 server with the Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family consumed
about the same power per processor as previous-generation servers
while enabling us to do more work. By building a new cluster with
these servers, we can offer greater compute resources to
researchers while staying within the power limits of our data
center.” – Michael Fenn, High-Performance Computing Systems
Administrator, Penn State University
