AMD today announced that its EPYC 7000 series processors are powering three of the newest Dell EMC PowerEdge platforms. PowerEdge R6415, R7415, and R7425 are highly
scalable, single- and dual-socket servers designed to address
high-performance workloads, including virtualized storage area networks
(VSAN), hybrid-cloud applications, dense virtualization, and big data
analytics. The no-compromise, single-socket capabilities of AMD EPYC
help the new Dell EMC PowerEdge platforms deliver up to 20 percent lower
total cost of ownership in a single-socket, four-node VSAN-ready
configuration.
The new Dell EMC PowerEdge servers take full
advantage of the AMD EPYC 7000-series' ability to deliver both single-
and dual-socket servers with design features ranging from 32 to 64
cores, up to 4TB of memory capacity, and 12 to 24x direct NVMe drives
optimized for database and analytics workloads. EPYC also supports high
bandwidth and dense GPU/FPGA capabilities in these Dell EMC PowerEdge
platforms for HPC applications.
"We are proudly showcasing our
AMD EPYC processors in the newest wave of Dell EMC 14G PowerEdge
servers. AMD EPYC processors offer tremendous performance and
reliability, along with innovative configuration, I/O, and security
features that PowerEdge customers can enjoy in these new servers," said
Forrest Norrod, senior vice president and general manager, Database and
Embedded Solutions Business Group, AMD. "The ground-breaking
capabilities of EPYC in single-socket configurations allow Dell EMC to
create single-socket servers that can handle the demands of most
customers' workloads, while offering real Total Cost of Ownership
advantages. The Dell EMC portfolio of AMD EPYC systems excel in a wide
range of workloads, including dense virtualization, hybrid-cloud
applications, software-defined storage, CAD/CAM, and other memory and
I/O dependent applications."
In addition to enabling an
incredibly feature-rich dual socket platform with the PowerEdge R7425,
EPYC provides unique and competitive options in a single-socket package,
expanding the reach of single-socket servers into new segments. The
single-socket configurations in the PowerEdge R6415 and R7415 offer a
32-core count optimized for high performance and multithreaded
architecture workloads. In addition, the impressively low total cost of
ownership offered on all three platforms provides outstanding high-speed
I/O performance on up to 128 lanes of PCIe and a memory bandwidth up to
342 GB/s.
"With AMD's EPYC processor integrated into the new
Dell EMC PowerEdge platforms, we can deliver the scalability and lower
total cost of ownership needed to meet the demands of new emerging
workloads," said Ravi Pendekanti, senior vice president, product
management and marketing, Server and Infrastructure Systems at Dell
EMC. "Customers are constantly looking for ways to drive growth and
leverage new models of computing. AMD's single-socket platform is a
great example of Dell PowerEdge servers moving the industry forward to
solve real customer problems. Together, we're enabling customers to
advance their datacenter transformation by adding capacity for higher IO
and memory-intensive applications for highly configurable, single- and
dual-socket designs."
