innovation further and faster,” said Ashley
Gorakhpurwalla, President, Server and
Infrastructure Systems at Dell EMC.
“As customers deploy more IoT solutions, they
need highly capable and flexible compute at
the edge to turn data into real-time insights;
these new servers that are engineered to
deliver that while lowering TCO.”
The combined innovation of AMD EPYC
processors and pioneering PowerEdge server
technology delivers compute capabilities
that optimally enhance emerging workloads.
With up to 32 cores (64 threads), eight
memory channels and 128 PCIe lanes,
AMD’s EPYC processors offer flexibility,
performance, and security features for
today’s software defined ecosystem.
“We are pleased to partner again with
Dell EMC and integrate our AMD EPYC
processors into the latest generation of
PowerEdge servers to deliver enhanced
scalability and outstanding total cost of
ownership,” said Forrest Norrod, Senior
Vice President and General Manager of
the Datacentre and Embedded Solutions
Business Group (DESG), AMD.
“Dell EMC servers are purpose built for
emerging workloads like software-defined
storage and heterogeneous compute and
fully utilise the power of AMD EPYC. Dell
EMC always keeps the server ecosystem
and customer requirements top of mind,
this partnership is just the beginning as
we work together to create solutions that
unlock the next chapter of data centre
growth and capability.”
Technology is at a relentless pace of scale
and record adoption, which has resulted in
emerging workloads that are growing in scale
and scope. These workloads are driving new
system requirements and features that are, in
turn, advancing development and adoption
of technologies such as NVMe, FPGAs and
in-memory databases. The PowerEdge R6415,
PowerEdge R7415 and PowerEdge R7425 are
designed to scale-up as customers’ workloads
increase and have the flexibility to support
today’s modern data centre.
Like all 14th generation PowerEdge servers,
the new servers will continue to offer a

32 cores, offers ultra-dense and scale-
out computing capabilities. Storage
flexibility is enabled with up to 10 PCIe
NVMe drives.
• Software-defined storage
deployments: The 2U single-socket
Dell EMC PowerEdge R7415 is the first
AMD EPYCTM-based server platform
certified as a VMware vSAN Ready Node
and offers up to 20% better TCO per
four-node cluster for vSAN deployments
at the edge1. With 128 PCIe lanes, it
offers accelerated east/west bandwidth
for cloud computing and virtualisation.
Additionally, with up to 2TB memory
capacity and up to 24 NVMe drives,
customers can improve storage efficiency
and scale quickly at a fraction of the cost
of traditional-built storage.
• High performance computing:
The dual-socket Dell EMC PowerEdge
R7425 delivers up to 24% improved
performance versus the HPE DL385 for
containers, hypervisors, virtual machines
and cloud computing and up to 25%
absolute performance improvement for
HPC workloads like computational fluid
dynamics (CFD). With up to 64 cores,
it offers high bandwidth with dense
GPU/FPGA capability. On standard
benchmarks, the server with superior
memory bandwidth and core density
provided excellent results across a wide
range of HPC workloads.
These servers have up to 4TB memory
capacity enhanced for database
management system (DBMS) and analytics
workload flexibility and are further optimised
for the following environments: The new line of PowerEdge servers powered
by AMD EPYC processor will be available
to channel partners across the globe,
so they can cover a broad spectrum of
configurations to optimise diverse workloads
for customers.
• Edge computing deployments: The
highly configurable, 1U single-socket
Dell EMC PowerEdge R6415, with up to Dell EMC PowerEdge R7425, R7415, R6415
are available in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and
South Africa. n
