· Dell PowerEdge 13th generation four-socket servers deliver enhanced performance, versatility, security and productivity for enterprise-scale and mid-market compute environments
· Dell PowerEdge R930 with Intel Xeon E7-8890 V4 processors recently set three new SAP world- record benchmarks
Dell has announced performance and capability updates to its PowerEdge 13th generation four-socket server portfolio. Designed to optimise performance for big data and real-time analytics and dense virtualisation deployments, the updated servers enable the flexibility, scalability and manageability of the future-ready enterprise.
“Customers today are looking for highly virtualised data centres that can easily manage evolving workloads; this coupled with a growing demand for big data analytics will drive the growth of the four-socket server market.” said Mak Chin Wah, GM for Enterprise Solutions, South Asia, Dell. “Dell’s customer-inspired four-socket servers are designed to offer world-class performance that accelerate core enterprise application performance while increasing density and workload consolidation.”
Intensive workload optimisation drives faster results
Shipping today and utilising the 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 PowerEdge R930 enables customers with:
· 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% improvement over the previous four-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 four-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% increase over the previous four-socket world record, which was set by the Dell PowerEdge R930 with E7v3 processors***
· Optimised database performance: The PowerEdge R930 with MSFT SQL Server 2016, as well as its built-in high performing data warehouse, have processing power required for virtualisation and memory-intensive application workloads for database. 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% greater storage throughput and 44% faster IOPs than the legacy Emulex 8G Gen 5 fibre channel solution****
Greater flexibility and scalability
PowerEdge R830 is a foundational four-socket rack server designed for database applications, scale-out virtualisation and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments. With a 2U rack server form factor it is ideal for mainstream and mid-market customers standardised on a rack form factor. The Dell PowerEdge four-socket server portfolio is now the company’s most comprehensive with the addition of the PowerEdge R830 featuring Intel Xeon processor E5-4600 v4 product family.
With four processors and up to 48 DIMMS the PowerEdge R830 provides:
· An optimum combination of scalability, flexibility and density
· A great balance across compute, memory and overall cost for customers running computational or transactional Microsoft SQL or Oracle databases standardised on rack form factors
Modular four-socket servers
In addition to the PowerEdge R930 and R830 rack servers, Dell is updating its PowerEdge FX2 and PowerEdge M1000e converged platforms with the PowerEdge FC830 and the PowerEdge M830 blade servers featuring the Intel Xeon processor E5-4600 v4 family.
The PowerEdge FC830 is a full-width, four-socket compute node for the PowerEdge FX architecture that helps organisations quickly configure complete workloads using modular building blocks of IT resources. This converged platform provides twice the four-socket density of any solution in the industry, making it ideal for Oracle RAC or dense four-socket deployments*****.
The PowerEdge M830 blade server is a full-height, four-socket blade server that offers maximised data-centre consolidation.
“While looking for a suitable infrastructure partner for ERP solutions on SAP HANA, we decided to engage with Dell to understand their offerings as a market leader in the space. We were impressed by the flexibility and ease of deployment of Dell’s server, storage and networking architecture. Our requirement was holistic – we needed a compact, flexible and scalable SAP infrastructure coupled with a solution provider known for service excellence. We chose Dell as our preferred infrastructure partner and we are confident that we made the right decision.” said Milan Khurana, CHRO, Bangalore-based Prestige Constructions.
“The Intel Xeon processors E7-8800 v4 family offers industry leading performance, new hardware enhanced security capabilities, a broad range of advanced reliability features and leading per-socket memory capacity. These servers tackle the most data-demanding mission critical workloads and enable our customers to gain rapid actionable insights from massive data sets” said Lisa Spelman, VP and GM, Intel Xeon Products and Data Center Marketing Group.

The PowerEdge R930, 4S/4U rack server with the Intel Xeon processor E7-8800 v4 family is available today, The PowerEdge R830 rack server and PowerEdge FC830 and M830 blade servers will be aligned to Intel Xeon® processor E5-4600 v4 availability later in June.
**Results of the Dell PowerEdge R930 with E7v4 processors on the SAP BW-AML benchmark at 4 billion initial records: 18,440 advanced query navigation steps. The SAP certification number is 2016026.
***Results of the Dell PowerEdge R930 with E7v4 processors on the SAP SD SAPS benchmark: 226,300 SAPS. The SAP certification number is 2016028.
The above are based on internal Dell testing using the SAP benchmark, certified in May 2016 by SAP Benchmark Council, Cert# 2016019.
****Based on preliminary third party testing results by Demartek and commissioned by Dell, June 2016, comparing the Dell R930 server configured with the new Emulex LPe 31000 16G FC Gen 6, attached to Dell Compellent SC9000 All Flash Array, running the SQL 2016 Data Warehousing workload benchmark, against the same Dell R930 configured with the current shipping Emulex LPe 15002B 8G FC Gen5 (406-BBHK). The test was repeated with the new Emulex LPe32000 32G FC versus the current system.
