PowerEdge servers into their existing
processes for a more consistent server
management experience.
• • New augmented reality on
OpenManage Mobile offers customers
a graphical representation of exactly
where incidents occur within their
environment to accurately identify
target areas in their PowerEdge
MX infrastructure and help speed
resolution – from any mobile device.
Customers can reduce time to
maintain server health by 28%,
through fewer steps, compared to
manually retrieving server logs.
• • Through Dell EMC and Intel close
collaboration, PowerEdge servers can
discover, monitor, configure and update
supported Intel Optane DC persistent
memory and Intel Optane DC SSDs with
OpenManage agent-free management.

This enables customers to save time by
automating configuration of BIOS, drives
and memory. Through auto-discovery,
these configurations can be replicated
across multiple servers without further
manual intervention, freeing up IT staff
from manual tasks, so they can focus on
more strategic work.
Enhanced security
• • Scale data protection and
streamline management of self-
encrypting drives with new
OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key
Manager. This enables customers
to centrally manage keys for self-
encrypting drives to better secure data
at both the drive and server level.
• • New OpenManage FlexSelect
Secure capability gives customers
the flexibility to adapt and scale their
security solutions to meet their own
business requirements. For example,
new security and encryption options
added to the integrated Dell Remote
Access Controller (iDRAC) offer
flexibility to allow communications
among server components and outside
connectivity based on one’s own
security policies.
Improved performance
and scalability
• • With new second Generation Intel
Xeon Scalable processors, PowerEdge
customers can better drive their
Digital Transformations with improved
performance. PowerEdge servers
with these new processors offer up
to a 40% increase in performance for
core business applications, helping to
improve organisations’ overall internal
and external customer experiences.
Easy BIOS tuning with workload-
optimised server configuration
profiles allow customers to configure
optimal performance as they add new
technologies or workloads.
• • According to a new benchmark,
a single Dell EMC PowerEdge R940
server with second Generation
Intel Xeon Scalable processors
can successfully host 69,500
simultaneous users within the SAP
Sales and Distribution Standard
Application Benchmark. This
demonstrates up to a 60% increase
in supported users from a single
server compared to the PowerEdge
R930 server.
• • With new Intel Optane DC persistent
memory, customers can accelerate
in-memory databases, virtualisation and
data analytics workloads with up to 2.5
times more memory capacity for select
PowerEdge Servers. The PowerEdge
R740xd enables up to 2.7 times the
transactions per second with an Intel
Optane DC persistent memory compared
to NVMe drives in a virtualised Microsoft
SQL Server 2019 preview environment
with VMware ESXi. ◊
