Dell introduces innovations across its industry-leading infrastructure portfolio to help customers accelerate their data center modernization journeys
Dell Technologies has announced significant enhancements across its server, storage, and data protection portfolios, engineered to help organizations modernize their data center infrastructure in the face of evolving workloads, AI-driven demands, and growing cybersecurity threats.
Why This Matters
As the IT landscape continues to evolve, businesses are rearchitecting their infrastructure strategies to support both legacy and modern workloads, harness the power of AI, and address escalating security concerns. In response, IT teams are shifting toward disaggregated infrastructure—decoupling compute, storage, and networking into scalable, shared resource pools to boost flexibility, efficiency, and adaptability.
Dell Technologies is driving this transition with new solutions designed to simplify operations, reduce costs, and prepare organizations for future data center demands.
PowerEdge Servers: Purpose-Built for Performance, Efficiency, and Scalability
Dell has expanded its PowerEdge server lineup with new models—R470, R570, R670, and R770—featuring Intel Xeon 6 Processors with P-cores. These 1U and 2U servers support both single and dual-socket configurations and are optimized for intensive workloads such as high-performance computing (HPC), virtualization, analytics, and AI inferencing.
-
Maximize Efficiency & Reduce Footprint: The PowerEdge R770 enables up to 80% space savings per 42U rack, consolidating outdated platforms while cutting energy use and emissions by up to 50%. It also supports 50% more cores per processor and delivers 67% better performance, helping reduce total cost of ownership.
-
Record-Breaking Performance: The PowerEdge R570 sets new standards in Intel performance per watt, empowering organizations to maintain high-performance workloads while minimizing energy consumption.
-
Future-Ready Architecture: Built on the Data Center – Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS) framework, these servers align with Open Compute Project (OCP) standards to streamline deployment and integration.
-
Simplified Management: With enhanced Dell OpenManage tools and updates to iDRAC10, IT teams gain real-time monitoring capabilities. Paired with the PERC13 PCIe Gen 5 RAID controller, users can benefit from up to 33X lower write latency.
