“The 14th-Generation of PowerEdge servers are at the bedrock of the modern data center and are aimed at driving IT transformation in the industry,” said Rajesh Janey, President & Managing Director, India Enterprise, Dell EMC. “To begin their transformation journey, enterprises need to optimize IT by modernizing, automating and transforming technologies, people, and processes. The 14th-Generation PowerEdge servers allow our customers to Scale, Automate, and Protect their business.”

With its scalable business architecture, intelligent automation, and integrated security, the new Dell EMC PowerEdge 14th-generation server portfolio delivers on these desired benefits. PowerEdge servers, the bedrock of the modern data center, enable customers to push innovation further and faster to achieve their IT transformation goals.

The scalable business architecture of Dell EMC PowerEdge servers help customers efficiently meet their changing business needs with enhanced performance capabilities for traditional, virtualized and cloud-native workloads in a software-defined data center. The new Dell EMC PowerEdge server portfolio, highly optimized for non-volatile memory express (NVMe), helps customers accelerate deployment of software-defined data storage and hyperconverged infrastructure stacks with:

· Accelerated database performance and lower latency with up to 12 times more database IOPS1 and up to 98 per cent less database latency in a VMware vSAN cluster

· Faster and seamless live migration of virtual machines now up to 58-per cent faster with up to 75 per cent less CPU usage when using 25GbE with Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)

· Faster storage performance in compute to maximize application performance with up to six times more NVMe drives, up to five times total flash storage, 30-per cent more input/output slots and 25 per cent density improvement

In collaboration with Intel, Dell EMC is bringing Intel Xeon Scalable processors to Dell EMC PowerEdge14th-generation servers. With 27 per cent more CPU cores and 50 per cent more memory bandwidth6, Dell EMC PowerEdge 14th generation server customers can accelerate performance of business critical applications and workloads. Dell EMC’s most advanced line-up of PowerEdge servers includes rack and blade form factors.
