In the year 2021, Dell Technologies hosted the largest product launch in its history and unveiled a number of new PowerEdge servers.

In the dogged ideal of getting to the top, their goal is to provide customers with the best but affordable performance for datacenter servers matching the current support of cloud computing resources.

"We are embarking on a path to autonomous computing infrastructure," Ravi Pendekanti, senior vice president of solution product management and marketing at Dell Technologies said on a conference call.

"We're building on what I would call workload-specific platforms to make sure we have a platform that's optimized for certain workloads," Pendekanti said.

The great relationship today of all server manufacturers to serve the datacenter segment is to achieve the balance of the cost of the hardware with the correct price. It's a constant challenge, maintaining prices with the ever-evolving cloud computing capacity. Such products must target not only the design around the hardware, but also the software delivered in the final product.

Since 2021, PowerEdge products have been managed through Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise, a kind of systems management console that facilitates the operation of resources and the progress of the lifecycle of Dell servers. In addition, Dell EMC servers are adopting AI to integrate throughput performance as per the workload adopted for up to six accelerators per server.

PowerEdge server hardware has a chassis designed to calibrate fans and cooling ducts according to power consumption. According to the manufacturer, this design could allow up to 60% of the efficiency in energy consumption, as the cooling automatically directs the airflow to the hottest part of the server.

The current PowerEdge line

Dell has created a sub-classification based on the number of sockets, so they are sub-grouped into One-Socket Servers, Two-Socket Servers and Four-Socket Servers.

The servers have capabilities for database, large file storage, virtualization, cloud services, VM, VDI and SDS Node, as well as supports scalability of data analysis in BigData.

Security Topics

It's nothing new today that all server manufacturers are investing heavily to support a better condition every year in cybersecurity. The data shows that this will be a major challenge for the next few years in the industry, as there are thousands of attacks per minute in any large datacenter.

Dell dedicates a technical document called the Technical White Paper to inform its customers about the issue of security in its products, until the last published document (2020) cybercrimes cause global damage in the order of $ 6 trillion dollars. Added to this we have historical data that promotes a certain need for diligence on the subject of cybersecurity.
