Dell and AMD: Redefining Cool in the Data Center

You might be surprised to learn that one of the main challenges facing data centers today isn’t scalability or security. It’s energy. As servers become exponentially more powerful, they require even more power to run them. This at a time when energy costs are fluctuating and most enterprises are committed to reducing their energy usage through sustainable business practices. Fortunately, Dell Technologies has developed some really cool innovations around energy efficiency that make our PowerEdge servers featuring AMD’s fourth generation EPYC processors both more scalable and more sustainable than ever before.

Keeping Up with Rising Demands…without Catching Heat

There’s a lot more to Dell’s PowerEdge servers than just processors and storage drives. For example: air. And while you may not think about airflow when you think of a server chassis, at Dell we spend a lot of time thinking about how to optimize and improve airflow to keep energy costs low and processing performance at peak levels. Our unique Smart Cooling technology uses computational fluid dynamics to discover the optimal airflow configurations for our PowerEdge servers. Dell’s Smart Flow design, for example, enables PowerEdge servers to run at higher temperatures by increasing airflow in the server chassis, even as it reduces fan energy consumption by as much as 52%.

Improved airflow is only one aspect of our Smart Cooling initiative. We’ve also forged innovations in direct liquid and immersion cooling, which you can read more about here. And we continue to work with our partners to improve the sustainability and energy efficiency of our products through joint development initiatives—like the PowerEdge C6615 with AMD Siena, which maximizes density and air-cooling efficiency for data centers where footprint expansion is not an option.

Dell Delivers Energy Savings You Can See

Now, you may be thinking, “Those innovations sound impressive, but how do I know they’re actually saving me money and reducing energy consumption?” That’s where Dell’s OpenManage Power Manager comes into play. OpenManage Power Manager allows organizations to view and manage their energy consumption, calculate energy cost savings and track other performance metrics from their PowerEdge servers through an easy-to-navigate graphical user interface (GUI). Power Manager monitors server utilization, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy savings (based on local energy rates) and more to ensure that you’re getting the most from your PowerEdge servers while using the least amount of energy (known as power usage effectiveness or PUE).

Another tool for energy management is the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC). iDRAC works in conjunction with Dell Lifecycle Controller to help manage the lifecycle of Dell PowerEdge servers from deployment to retirement. It also provides telemetry data generated by PowerEdge sensors and controls, including:

◉ Real-time airflow consumption (in cubic feet per minute or CFM) with tools to remotely control airflow balancing at the rack and data center levels.

◉ Air temperature control from the inlet to exhaust.

◉ PCIe card inlet temperature and airflow.

◉ Exhaust temperature controls based on hot/cold aisle configurations or other considerations.

Achieving Sustainability at Scale

You can choose Dell PowerEdge servers for their legendary reliability and exceptional scalability. Many hyperscalers and enterprises do just that. But it’s nice to know that you don’t have to choose between doing what’s best for your data center and doing what’s best for the environment. With Dell PowerEdge servers featuring AMD EPYC processors, companies can increase their server performance per watt for scale workloads, reduce the amount of energy they use in their data centers, measure that energy usage in real time, automate energy-tracking policies such as power caps and proactively address energy issues before they present a problem. The complete PowerEdge portfolio for scale is available in multiple configurations and chassis heights with air-cooling and DLC options that enable significant energy savings and greater computational efficiency compared with previous server generations.

As more businesses look to balance scalability with sustainability, there’s never been a better time to consider Dell PowerEdge servers powered by AMD for your data center. PowerEdge servers with AMD EPYC processors deliver the consolidation opportunities and scalability you need to move forward, without getting burned by high energy costs. Now, how cool is that?

Although this award reflects pioneering work from our engineering team, it primarily speaks to the value Isilon provides our customers as well as our continued commitment to innovation.

Given the importance of this award, I wanted to reflect on what got us to this moment in Dell EMC Isilon’s history.

Back in the early 2000s, media and entertainment companies began to require large-scale shared storage to securely hold and work with proliferating media formats: server ingested serial digital interface (SDI), new digital camera formats, graphics pulls, editorial, transcodes and playout.

To address that challenge, Isilon (a standalone company at the time) pioneered a network-attached storage (NAS) solution that’s allowed our customers to easily grow exponentially and tier content according to the business value. Because of the simplicity of managing a single namespace and the TCO of tiering data, Isilon enabled broadcast engineers and studio system administrators, previously focused on data wrangling and storage administration, the freedom to focus on media applications, accelerating workflows and developing business differentiating services.

Tackling Today and Tomorrow’s Media and Entertainment Workflows

Since 2003, over 2000 global organizations including broadcasters, post and VFX houses across 82 countries have invested in Dell EMC Isilon’s scale-out architecture to drive innovation in media workflows.

In the last three years alone, our media and entertainment customers have deployed over 1.5 exabytes of Isilon storage for media workflows and that investment continues to grow as live, episodic and feature datasets continue their phenomenal growth.

Today, media companies face a new set of challenges as content creators and distributors must determine how to take advantage of new technologies, that accelerate and simplify the creation of high-quality content in new resolutions and formats, as well as new viewing experiences for consumers, across traditional and new content distribution platforms. While at the same time, existing content needs to be digitized, archived, and stored, with proper tagging, to ensure quick retrieval and monetization. As these new challenges emerge, old ones still endure, with media organizations continuing to be under pressure to increase production quality, all while keeping costs low, and creating high returns for their owners and investors.

The Foundation of Media Workflows

Expanding Your Innovation Engine with Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers

Dell Technologies is your innovation engine, offering distinctive servers for distinctive needs.

Imagine that you were in a data center ten years ago, and while looking at the servers, you recognized that they were essentially built on the same technologies.

Read More: DEE-1111: Dell EMC PowerMax and VMAX All Flash Solutions Expert

They all came with similar CPUs, similar memory, and similar drives. They even all came in similar form factors. Your server environments were largely homogeneous — and with the advent of virtualization, they became even more homogeneous because one virtual machine was essentially just like another virtual machine.

However, in today’s world, a homogeneous server environment is an obstacle to success.

Organizations and workloads require different technologies. Some services require massive amounts of storage, others need the fastest possible drive technologies. Some workloads require many CPUs, others require GPUs.

The days of every server living in a data center are in the past. Today’s workloads put servers closer to the end user than ever before, in environments previously impossible, and for purposes not even dreamed of ten years ago. As today’s organizations are pushing the envelope around innovation, they’re finding it necessary to build a heterogeneous server infrastructure, with different servers that offer different capabilities for different workloads.

They’re also finding it necessary to extract the maximum value out of every server through right-sizing and right-featuring their servers to avoid overprovisioning, adding unused capabilities, and spending money that isn’t necessary.

Dell Technologies understands these needs, and we have committed to building out the broadest and most relevant industry-standard server portfolio in our history. Today, we’re making six new differentiated servers globally available after announcing them in March. These six servers offer the latest 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, giving organizations the latest performance and feature sets, but each is intended to meet specific requirements.

“The era of Intelligent everything is here and it brings new requirements for platforms that can manage the vast amounts of data being generated both at the edge and in the data center.” – said Matt Langman, General Manager, Data Platforms Group at Intel. “Intel developed its 3rd generation Xeon scalable processors to deliver performance flexibility and compute power to manage the deluge of data generated both in the data center and at the network edge, where more decisions are increasingly made.”

PowerEdge customers can add versatility and flexibility to their server ecosystems, better meeting emerging demands, optimizing value, and powering their innovation engines.

Pedal to the Metal with VMware Tanzu

How Dell EMC is Accelerating the Adoption of Tanzu with PowerProtect Data Manager

DevOps these days is focused on four key imperatives: to build, run, manage and protect. And with our partner VMware’s announcement of Tanzu updates this week ahead of VMworld we are excited to be in lockstep with the progress we have made in this highly innovative space by bringing together end-to-end management and data protection for all Kubernetes workloads under a singular control plane.

The run, build and manage journey for developers needs to also include protection of these ubiquitous workloads to guarantee reliability, efficiency and availability at a low cost. We say it repeatedly: the benefits that Dell EMC provides VMware infrastructures include the Enterprise-grade deduplication, compression and speed for all types of workloads.

Modern applications platforms can now be managed as cloud native organizations to bring their DevOps teams faster software release cycles. Not only that, they can do more with test/development cycles without interrupting their developers’ ongoing progress.

Essentially, VMware has introduced Kubernetes as its control plane — bringing the “Kubernetes experience” into the data center. This now bridges a community between the developers, the IT operators and the vAdmins. They can all begin to communicate on a level playing field as well as introduce protection policies via PowerProtect Data Manager across multiple technology stacks hosting these integrated workloads.

These once disparate teams can now not only manage all their disperse applications comprised of containers and/or virtual machines (VMs); but in many cases can claim they are deploying the first and only Enterprise protection solution for VMs, applications and Kubernetes at once via central resources. In addition to accelerating the adoption of Tanzu, Dell EMC provides customers with the ease of worry-free migration for existing workloads to Kubernetes environments protected by their policies and self-service capabilities for DevOps teams. Faster testing, faster customer product to market is happening now.
