Dell EMC Expands 14th-Generation PowerEdge Server Portfolio Featuring Intel's Latest CPUs and Memory
Published2019.04.11 11:17| New Features Added to OpenManage Enterprise
| 40% performance improvement over previous generations when running core apps
Dell EMC announced its 14th generation 'PowerEdge' server portfolio on the 11th.
According to IDC research, the server market has been growing steadily, recording double-digit revenue growth for five consecutive quarters, in line with the wave of digital transformation.
Dell EMC achieved a 31.2% market share in the domestic market with unit sales growing by more than 40% year-on-year, and revenue grew by 98%, recording a 34.2% market share.
The newly announced server portfolio includes new features and is equipped with the 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processor 'Cascade Lake' CPU and 'Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory'.
This allows enterprises to improve the efficiency of their infrastructure operations and establish a platform that can reliably handle new workloads such as AI and machine learning. Dell EMC plans to help enterprises build the ideal foundation for cloud and software-defined data centers.
Enhanced management convenience
The new FlexSelect Manage architecture allows for flexible selection of specific features within the OpenManage Enterprise system management console software. Power management plug-ins are provided, allowing users to tailor their unique needs while reducing the number of consoles required.
Dell EMC's Redfish-compliant RESTful API has been enhanced to enhance server operation convenience and flexibility. This provides the flexibility to manage servers directly from the OS, in addition to existing management networks, enabling management of more server devices and operations. This allows PowerEdge servers to be easily integrated into existing processes.
By incorporating AR into OpenManage Mobile, you can graphically display the location of incidents within your infrastructure, enabling you to accurately identify target areas within your PowerEdge MX infrastructure and resolve issues from your mobile device. This streamlined process, compared to the traditional method of manually searching server logs, can reduce management time by approximately 28%.
OpenManage's agent-free management allows you to discover, monitor, configure, and update Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory and SSDs. Save time with automatic configuration of BIOS, drives, and memory, and auto-discovery lets you replicate those configurations across multiple servers without manual intervention.
Enhanced security
Expanded data protection and simplified Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) encryption are now possible with OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key Manager. Centralized management of SEDs is available, enabling data protection at both the drive and server level.
The new FlexSelect Secure feature allows businesses to flexibly deploy and expand security solutions based on their specific needs. For example, adding new security and encryption options to iDRAC, the integrated remote management solution, enables communication between server components and external connectivity under established security policies.
Performance and scalability improvements
The 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processor (Cascade Lake) has significantly improved performance, delivering up to 40% performance improvement over the previous generation when running core applications. Easily adjust BIOS with workload-optimized server configuration profiles, enabling optimal performance for new workloads and technologies.
In the SAP SD standard application benchmark, the Cascade Lake R940 server recorded 69,500 concurrent users, which is up to 60% more than the previous PowerEdge R930.
PowerEdge servers equipped with Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory can process workloads such as in-memory databases, virtualization, and data analytics faster with up to 2.5 times more memory capacity.
In a Microsoft SQL Server 2019 preview environment virtualized with VMware ESXi, the PowerEdge R740xd server with Optane DC persistent memory achieved up to 2.7 times more transactions per second compared to NVMe drives.
Dell EMC Ready Solutions, engineered systems with pre-configured and validated infrastructure including servers, storage, and networks, enable you to quickly gain insights from high-performance computing (HPC) and AI applications. When combined with Intel Deep Learning Boost, inference performance in deep neural networks is improved by nearly three times.
The PowerEdge R940, R740, R740xd, R740xd2, R640, and C6420 will be available on the 16th, with some models, including the PowerEdge MX, scheduled for release within the second quarter. The updated Dell EMC OpenManage will be available across the entire PowerEdge server family within the second quarter.
Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory is available for testing through a pre-proof of concept (PoC) program and will be available in select 2-socket and 4-socket PowerEdge servers starting in Q2.
New Dell EMC Ready Solutions supporting Intel Deep Learning Boost will be available on the 23rd.

As data value increases, data risk increases… Domestic companies have more data than the global average, but security measures are inadequate
Dell EMC has released the '2018 Global Data Protection Index Report,' which surveyed and analyzed the data protection status and strategy maturity of enterprises worldwide. According to the report, while enterprises' awareness of data value and the importance of data security has generally increased, the risk of data loss has actually grown. In the case of domestic enterprises, they possess more data than the global average, and the proportion of those who have experienced data security incidents is relatively high, with insufficient preparedness measures in place.
