CAN MY SERVER PLATFORM REALLY

HELPME INNOVATE?


Key innovations to accelerate workloads

With flash-dense configurations, move data closer to compute, eliminate bottlenecks, and deliver up 10.5x

faster online transactions.

Your people aren’t waiting on information,

they’re acting on it.

Combine both ultra-dense low latency SSDs and high capacity hard drives to increase performance by up to 11X while delivering

the capacity for triple the users.

Deliver greater usage for every inch of your datacenter.

SDS-optimized controllers. Expandable high performance networking. Double the storage throughput.

Reap the efficiencies of software defined storage.

Application acceleration delivering extraordinary application performance, scalability and data integrity.

Greater rewards should not have to come with greater risk.

Use Flash to feed data to I/O starved applications Hybrid storage: capacity and performance

More efficient disk utilization with SDS Turbocharged performance with caching


Maximizing enterprise application performance, R930

9XAccelerate database performance using SAS SSD’s and SanDisk DAS Cache over HDD’s

PowerEdge Security

Servers are the foundation for enterprise security. First, they

must be secure and trusted, and they must connect with other

servers in a trusted manner by building a solid chain of trust.

Second, all upgrades, changes, and maintenance made to them

must preserve this security and trust across its lifecycle
