[Extra] Speed ​​up your business and DX with the introduction of Dell EMC PowerEdge servers

With the spread of cloud services, more and more companies are using the Internet to exchange files and manage various types of information. For this reason, it is true that fewer companies are setting up their own servers. In the first place, there will be many users who have the perception that "servers are cloud".

But the benefits of having an in-house server are still great. In an environment where large files are frequently exchanged, factory management and operation, and AI-based complex processing and calculations emphasize responsiveness, it is more convenient to use an in-house server.

With the introduction of the new model of "Dell EMC PowerEdge Server" released by Dell in October 2021, various businesses will be able to proceed quickly, and DX (Digital Transformation) will be one step ahead. become a stepping stone for

An in-house server is essential for responsiveness

The advantage of a cloud service is that it can be easily accessed via the Internet. And you don't have to set up a server at each location to use the service. There are many advantages in terms of usability, but there are also disadvantages. The biggest ones are speed and responsiveness.

For example, in the case of a business that routinely exchanges files of tens to hundreds of GB, using a cloud service as the main storage is too inefficient. Since files are exchanged via the Internet, it takes a long time to download files to start work and to upload files after confirmation and correction.

However, if you set up a "file server" for exchanging files in the company, such problems do not occur. This is because files can be exchanged quickly in an environment where an in-house network that supports wired LAN or the latest wireless LAN standards is built.

The same is true for R&D systems. When dealing with big data in AI or large-scale projects, the size of the files that need to be processed is extremely large, and the frequency is high. It is impossible to exchange such files in the cloud. In addition, setting up a high-performance server in-house makes it possible to work more quickly when processing data, confirming it, and providing feedback.

Cloud services have come to be used even in systems for business and quality control in factories and the like. It has the advantage of being easy to manage even if the manager is not on-site, but when a problem occurs, it seems that the response may be delayed due to the delay in information transmission.

However, if it is managed by a server installed in the company, it is possible to respond quickly and check the situation, so even if a problem occurs, the damage can be minimized. It is also a great advantage because it can speedily transfer repair data and respond to patches.

New model of tower server "Dell EMC PowerEdge" released

The new model of the "Dell EMC PowerEdge Server" series announced by Dell in October 2021 is designed to meet these needs. server equipment.

The "Dell EMC PowerEdge T150" series, which uses Intel's "3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor Family" for the CPU, has a chassis with a design that is very similar to a general middle-tower desktop PC. adopt.

In addition, the width is 17.5 cm, the depth is 45.4 cm, and the height is 36 cm. In addition, the operating noise is also kept low, achieving a noise level of 24 dB at a room temperature of 35 ° C and an even lower noise level of 23 dB at a room temperature of 28 ° C. That's a noise level close to whispering or a quiet late-night suburban situation.

Since file servers are often left on 24 hours a day, being able to use them quietly and compactly is a great advantage. The price is also cheap, and it is a server that is easy to introduce especially in small offices.

The "Dell EMC PowerEdge T350", which also uses the 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor Family for the CPU, incorporates two power supply units and can operate without stopping the system even if one is broken. Redundancy function can be selected by BTO.

The power supply unit itself is also hot-pluggable, so you can restore it to its original state simply by replacing the failed power supply unit. The storage also supports redundancy and hot plugging, making it suitable for users who want to store and operate important data more safely.

The "Dell EMC PowerEdge T550", which is the top model among the models released in October 2021, can be equipped with up to two 3rd generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. In addition, up to two video cards equipped with NVIDIA's professional GPU "NVIDIA A40" can be incorporated to perform advanced calculations and processing related to AI and virtual environments.

In addition, although the maintenance period of manufacturer support for general server systems is 5 years, the Dell EMC PowerEdge series provides 7 years of support as standard. Due to improvements in the performance and durability of the components that are built into servers, the number of customers using installed servers for a long time has increased recently. It can be said that it is a great advantage to be able to use it with peace of mind while receiving support from the manufacturer for a longer period of time.

Currently developing a campaign to prepare a set model with UPS

Currently, Dell is running a "Don't wait DX campaign" to promote in-house DX by introducing the Dell EMC PowerEdge server series. It's being deployed. In addition to being able to purchase high-performance Dell EMC PowerEdge servers at a large discount price of 45-47%, we also have a set model with UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).

With desktop PCs and server equipment that do not have a battery, if the current from the outlet is interrupted momentarily, or if the power is cut off due to a lightning strike, the power supply will stop, which can damage files and components such as built-in storage. may fail.

However, UPS is equipped with a battery inside, so it can supply power to PCs, servers, and various electronic devices for a short time without power supply from an outlet. In addition, there is a function to switch to power supply from the battery when a sudden voltage drop occurs so that connected devices will not be affected even if an instantaneous power failure occurs.

If you run a server that stores important data, it is natural to combine such a UPS. If you use a campaign like this one to install servers and UPS, it will greatly contribute to cost reduction.
