Security

The Dell PowerEdge 16g servers help organizations implement a “Zero Trust security” approach, by constantly verifying access and treating all users and devices as potential threats before granting access to resources. The servers are equipped with silicon-based hardware root of trust and features such as Dell Secured Component Verification (SCV) to ensure security from the design to the delivery phase. Additionally, multifactor authentication and integrated iDRAC verify users before granting access.

With the help of these advanced security features, the secure supply chain of Dell PowerEdge servers allows customers to further strengthen their Zero Trust approach, by providing cryptographic verification of components at the customer’s site. As a result, this extends supply chain security to the end-point.

Scalable, Cost-Effective Options Via Dell APEX

Dell Customers looking for cost-effective options can now consume PowerEdge servers as a subscription via Dell APEX today. By leveraging advanced data collection and processor-based measurement on an hourly basis, customers can adopt a flexible approach to avoid the expense of procuring more compute resources than they actually need.

Dell Technologies plans to expand its Dell APEX offerings by providing bare metal compute services at various locations: on-premises, at the edge, or in colocation facilities. This will be available through a predictable, monthly subscription and configured through the APEX Console, which Dell indicates will allow their customers to fulfill their workload and IT operational requirements with scalable and secure compute resources.

Data Processing Units (DPUs)

Many PowerEdge G16 servers can be equipped with NVIDIA Bluefield-2 data processing units. NVIDIA Bluefield-2 is a data processing unit that can offload, accelerate and provide workload isolation capabilities for tasks like networking, security, and storage. Based on the NVIDIA Arm-based DPU architecture, it is integrated with the server’s CPU and memory, providing a high-performance, low-latency data processing solution to improve the performance and efficiency of private, hybrid, and multicloud deployments.

BOSS-N1

Booting these servers has advanced as well with a new Dell BOSS-N1 setup. The BOSS-N1 is a segregated RAID controller for OS with secure UEFI boot that is rear-facing and hot-pluggable. As the N implies, this time these drives are NVMe instead of SATA, which provides organizations with more options, better performance, and higher capacity points.

Hardware RAID PERC12

The Dell PowerEdge 16G servers get a new RAID controller option with the PERC12. This controller offers 2X better performance than PERC11 and 4X better than PERC10. It also supports all drive interfaces: SAS4, SATA & NVMe and offers x16 connectivity to devices so they can take full advantage of PCIe Gen5 throughput. Dell has also focused on RAID rebuild times, which are quoted to be twice as fast with PERC12. Dell also has an H965e External controller that will provide support for new 24Gb SAS JBODs.

Dell PowerEdge R760 / R760xs

The Dell PowerEdge R760 offers exceptional AI inferencing capabilities, quoting up to 2.9x improvement with the new 4^th-Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (which feature Intel Deep Learning Boost and Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions).

Moreover, it allows for up to 20% more VDI users with an increase of over 50% in SAP Sales & Distribution (used to manage and track the sales and distribution processes of a company, such as customer orders, deliveries, and billing) users per server when compared to its predecessor.
