In addition to the improvements to the Dell PowerEdge R830, FC830 and M830, Dell refreshed its 4-Socket PowerEdge R930 flagship server. Shipping today and utilising the power and unique hardware-enhanced capabilities of the new Intel® Xeon® processor E7-8800 v4 family like Intel® Run Sure Technology, the Dell PowerEdge R930 server helps customers quickly deploy database intensive applications, easily scale up and better manage infrastructure and mission-critical workload delivery.
The Dell PowerEdge R930 enables customers with:
· Industry-leading in-memory database performance: The Dell PowerEdge R930 with Intel® Xeon® E7-8890 V4 processors recently set three new world-record benchmarks:
o A world-record result on the standard benchmark for the SAP HANA® platform, SAP BW advanced mixed load (BW-AML) with 2 billion records. This new record is a 24.77 percent improvement over the previous 4-socket world record, which was set by the Dell PowerEdge R930 with E7v3 processors o A world-record result on the standard benchmark for SAP HANA® platform, SAP BW advanced mixed load (BW-AML) with 4 billion records. This new world record is a 23.06 percent improvement over the previous 4-socket world record, which was set by the Dell PowerEdge R930 with E7v3 processors o A new world record result on the SAP sales and distribution (SD) standard application benchmark. This new world record is a 33.09 percent increase over the previous 4-socket world record, which was set by the Dell PowerEdge R930 with E7v3 processors · Optimised data base performance: The Dell PowerEdge R930 with MSFT SQL Server 2016, as well as its built-in high performing data warehouse, have the processing power required for virtualization and memory-intensive application workloads for database. The Dell PowerEdge R930 with the Dell Compellent SC9000 All Flash Array, MS SQL Server 2016 data-warehousing and Emulex’s latest fiber channel 16G Gen 6 delivered 99.4 percent greater storage throughput and 44 percent faster IOPs than the legacy Emulex 8G Gen 5 fiber channel solution
Dell PowerEdge modular four-socket servers
Dell’s four-socket server portfolio is engineered to provide customers with platform choice to best support their data center density, scalability, manageability and flexibility needs. In addition to the Dell PowerEdge R930 and R830 rack servers, Dell is updating its PowerEdge FX2 and PowerEdge M1000e converged platforms with the Dell PowerEdge FC830 and the Dell PowerEdge M830 blade servers featuring the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4600 v4 family.
