Dell Server R920 meet the most stringent workload requirements

"Tenkine Office channel January 19 News" Information is power. We have all heard of this remark. In fact, for today's businesses, easy and quick access to information is the biggest advantage of the company relative to its competitors. Dell is fully aware of this, so we are constantly challenging the limits of the Dell PowerEdge Server product family to meet current and future http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/12445.html > business needs.

I am pleased to introduce the newest members of the Dell PowerEdge Server product family, as well as Dell's highest performing server--dell PowerEdge R920. This server enables customers to quickly adapt to changing business needs while improving overall reliability and getting results more quickly. Customers like City's Round Rock believe that science and technology play a key role in urban operation, not only to change urban emergency mode, but also to foresee problems in real time.

For example, the city of Round Rock CIO Brooks Bennett recently said: "Our police and fire departments need immediate access to data, and there must be no delays when visiting." With the Dell PowerEdge R920, we have instant access to mission-critical data to ensure the needs of emergency personnel at city sites. R920 is the best, either from performance, onboard storage, or from the workloads it can drive. Not only can it help us perform tasks faster and more efficiently, but it also helps us ensure community security. ”

The 4-socket 4U PowerEdge R920 server based on the Intel new E7 processor is designed to handle demanding mission-critical workloads such as enterprise resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), E-commerce, and very large databases, including memory databases. Initial workload tests show:

SAP Workload:

· 4 Socket Linux Benchmark: SAP SD 2-tier Benchmark, can support 24,150 benchmark users, a record.

· Compared to the previous best e7-4800 4 socket SAP SD Benchmark Performance improvement of 71%.

· The SAP Environment delivers outstanding performance comparable to the previous generation of 8 socket servers, while the cost of client software licenses is halved.

Oracle Workloads:

· Combined with the Dell Compellent Flash optimization solution, customers have more than doubled the number of Oracle OLAP queries that take the previous-generation server configuration.

· Throughput increased by more than one time to handle a larger set of Oracle OLAP data with a reduced latency of half.

So what makes the PowerEdge R920 different from the previous generation solution and other solutions in the marketplace? In simple terms, it can be summed up in the following points:

· Faster results: Applications can perform more processing requests in less time. The R920 server has up to 60 processing cores and has a major upgrade to data access: 8 Ultra-high performance ultra-low-latency PCIe express flash drives that significantly exceed the IOPS performance of rotating drives; new h730p PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) Doubling the previous-generation cache capacity and increasing IOPS performance by up to 1 time times, and double perc capacity enables customers to maximize the performance of available solid-state drives (SSD).

· Scaling up to meet challenges: R920 server memory up to 6TB, supports up to 24 local storage drives, and is designed to help it respond quickly to dynamic business conditions. R920 is also an excellent choice for linear HPC applications that meet the requirements of the application for mass shared memory (SMP code). These "big nodes" are essential for most new HPC systems to support application extensions (dilatancy). R920 Plug-ins can manage or monitor the HPC environment through the Nagios (Linux console). We know that customers want to get as high CPU performance as possible to meet their application needs. For this we have integrated the Out-of-band monitoring function of Agent-free (agent-free), which can release more CPU resources and improve performance.

· Nondisruptive operation: leverages the built-in reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features such as Dell's unique fault-tolerant memory (Fault resilient Memory) and Intel's guaranteed running technology (run throaty Marvell). R920 enables customers to run data centers more confidently. The latest combination of Dell OpenManage Essentials with Dell Appassure software, plus support for automated embedded server configuration backups through Idrac with life cycle Controller (Lifecycle Controller), enables the entire server hardware, The backup of the operating system and the application stack helps improve business continuity so customers can run the data center with confidence.

You may have heard of a record Dell Fluid Cache for SAN, the recent Michael Dell (Michael Dell) has presented its keynote address to the Dell World Global Conference. This is an enterprise application acceleration solution designed to shorten response times by incorporating the most frequently accessed business data into computing resources. Customers need an "instant" experience that is critical every second to maintain a competitive advantage. That is why we are proud to have recorded a record 5 million iops in the Dell World Conference demo. In the near future, the PowerEdge R920 will be ready to go public, giving full play to the fluid Cache for San functionality.

Dell continues to break the limits of performance, scalability, and reliability, and the PowerEdge R920 is the latest example of the technology we need to help our customers stay competitive and strong in today's information age. The PowerEdge R920 will be available worldwide later this quarter.
