12th July 2022 Introducing Dell’s newest innovation engine 

How the Dell 15G PowerEdge server portfolio can change your business

Our more connected, data-driven world has created an uncharted digital territory. Yesterday’s infrastructure can’t keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving demands, especially when they can change overnight. In this environment, digital transformation is an imperative. The future requires an adaptable, scalable and secure IT foundation that’s ready for anything.

At Exertis, we’re always eager to help our customers and partners discover products that help them stay ahead of the game in this ever-changing technology landscape. That’s exactly what Dell’s new PowerEdge server portfolio can do for you. The Dell PowerEdge server portfolio is built to power the innovation needed to meet the challenges of digital transformation with a secure infrastructure that supports a full range of modern workloads. Paired with Dell OpenManage and systems management solutions, PowerEdge servers deliver the productivity and performance users need to power innovation.

The three pillars of progress

The new portfolio is built on three pillars:

  • Adaptive compute: Address evolving compute demands with a platform engineered to optimise the latest technology advancements for predictable profitable outcomes. All while easily scaling to address data at the point of need, from edge to hybrid cloud
  • Autonomous compute infrastructure: Respond rapidly to business opportunities with intelligent systems that work both together and independently, enabling rapid digital transformation and productivity to deliver outcomes aligned with business priorities and freeing IT to stop managing and start innovating. These systems help users adapt to a changing environment, enable rapid digital transformation, and position them to grow, scale and evolve
  • Proactive resilience: Embed trust into digital transformation with an infrastructure and IT environment designed for secure interactions, and the capability to anticipate potential threats. This security starts at design and continues through the supply chain and lifecycle to decommissioning

PowerEdge innovations

Dell Technologies believes in continuous innovation, so they constantly make enhancements to their server portfolio to improve performance and efficiency and to lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

  • Intrinsic security: Proactive resilience is anchored by an immutable, silicon-based root of trust and enables security functions like end-to-end boot verification, trusted BIOS, firmware chain of trust, and verified OS bootloader. PowerEdge servers also provide data-at-rest protection using Secure Enterprise Key Manager (SEKM) and data-in-use protection with Confidential Compute CPU technologies
  • Thoughtful cooling designs: Dell Technologies tailored new designs to address the cooling needs of today’s denser data centers. Dell Multi-Vector Cooling 2.0, part of the Thermal Manage suite, is an advanced thermal design that streamlines airflow pathways for superior cooling. Dell Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) is a new option that leverages the superior thermal capacity of water to remove heat more efficiently. Dell Leak Sense detection capability protects liquid cooled servers and is fully managed by the integrated Dell Remote Access controller (iDRAC)
  • Focus on acceleration: The new PowerEdge portfolio supports a complete stack of GPUs to optimise performance for the entire spectrum of workloads, including high performance computing (HPC), training and inferencing for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), data analytics, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), and dense virtualisation
  • Broader supportability for PSU: The latest generation of Dell PowerEdge power supply units (PSUs) introduce Mixed Mode support and an enhanced extended power range (EPR) that allows for higher powered configurations to take advantage of longer peak power periods

“It’s really important to have vendor partners like Dell Technologies to enable us… to physically push the envelope. Frankly, if Dell Technologies wasn’t there to do that, we’d have to build it ourselves. We’re used to doing that, but we have become comfortable with the way Dell Technologies supports the type of innovation that Verne Global is all about.”
— Tate Cantrell, CTO, Verne Global

Find the right compute and server for your customers and their workloads
The latest generation of PowerEdge servers are optimised for a wide spectrum of modern workloads, so you and your customers can easily meet price and performance goals.

  • Essential servers: Entry-level technology with essential features, limited scalability, and enterprise-class management (T150, T350, R450, R550)
  • Scalable servers: Advanced technology that balances capability and capacity with enterprise features (R750xs, R7515, R650xs, R6515)
  • Mainstream servers: Latest technology, designed for best-in-class performance
    (R650, R750, MX750c, R7525, R6525)
  • Specialized servers: Latest technology, focused on specialised compute needs
    (R750xa, XR11, XR12, XE8454)

Speak to an expert

“The PowerEdge rack servers with NVMe provide very fast I/O with a parallel ­file system that reads and writes data to disk very quickly… improving the efficiency of the cluster. That means we can really concentrate on the core computation rather than waiting for ­files to be saved.”
— Alastair Basden, Technical Manager, Durham University

Sustainability in Dell PowerEdge

Dell’s power, thermal and cooling innovations and asset resale and recycling services reduce our carbon footprint.

  • Power efficiency: Since 2013, engineering advancements have helped Dell reduce PowerEdge energy intensity (EI) by 83%. OME Power Manager also makes it easier for users to manage their power budgets with data-driven insights.
  • Thermal design and cooling: Improving the energy and cooling needs of data centers is one of the biggest challenges in IT today. Dell address this with PowerEdge multi-vector cooling, liquid cooling, and thermal design.
  • Sustainable materials: Dell make every effort to reduce waste and reuse available resources. Dell PowerEdge products contain up to 35% recycled plastic.
  • Data sanitisation with asset resale and recycle: Assets are removed from the business’ environment, sanitised at a secure location, and evaluated for resale/reuse.
