Organizations are increasingly turning to leading databases and analytics platforms such as Oracle 12c and SAP HANA running on Linux and x86 platforms. The PowerEdge R930 will serve as the hardware foundation for these appliances and integrated systems, helping customers speed time-to-value and maximize IT resource efficiency.

• For customers who want to gain business insight in real-time by leveraging SAP HANA into their IT environment with little or no configuration, Dell offers Dell Engineered Solutions for SAP HANA. This appliance will be updated to include SAP HANA pre-integrated and pre-configured on Dell PowerEdge R930 servers to help customers deploy applications faster, scale up and down easier and better manage infrastructure and workload delivery.

• For customers who are experiencing bottlenecks in OLTP performance, the Dell Acceleration Appliance for Databases (DAAD) built with Dell PowerEdge R930 servers will offer acceleration for any database infrastructure.
• For customers who want a quick and simple path to standing up Oracle 12c, Dell is updating its Dell Integrated Systems for Oracle Database with the PowerEdge R930. This pre-engineered, pre-configured and pre-racked combination of DAAD and the PowerEdge R930 servers will help customers migrate to and accelerate current Oracle 12c environments.

Dell expands four-socket server portfolio

Dell provides one of the most dense, scalable, manageable and flexible four-socket portfolios in the market. In addition to the PowerEdge R930 rack server, Dell is updating its PowerEdge VRTX and PowerEdge M1000e converged platforms, and introducing the PowerEdge FC830 and the PowerEdge M830 blade server as part of Dell’s 13th generation of PowerEdge servers.

The PowerEdge M830 and FC830 servers are designed to meet the performance needs for workloads in database, technical computing and virtualized environments while enabling the flexibility, scalability and manageability customers’ demand for the future-ready enterprise. The PowerEdge FC830 is a full-width, half-height four-socket server block for the PowerEdge FX architecture that helps organizations quickly configure complete workloads using modular building blocks of IT resources. The PowerEdge M830 blade server is a full height, four-socket blade server.

Both the PowerEdge FC830 and PowerEdge M830 feature the future Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4600 v3 product family and include Dell’s leading systems management capabilities.

“The PowerEdge R930 certainly has the power, capacity and reliability required to meet most business needs. But what’s more important is Dell’s ecosystem approach to solving customers pain points, not just the hardware,” said Dan Harrington, research director, 451 Research. “Customers are increasingly looking to purpose-built appliances that can be deployed quickly and reliably for applications such as SAP HANA. Dell’s high end x86 portfolio not only provides the solid hardware platform for this, but also the software and services ecosystem required to manage complex scenarios such as the ongoing industry migration from UNIX to Linux. In addition to this, Dell’s long-standing relationships with channel partners and key system integrators – such as Accenture, Deloitte and Atos – provides the right mix of capabilities to tackle those projects.”

“Dell servers are consistently pushing the boundaries when it comes to accelerating application performance, powering workloads in any environment and simplifying systems management so that customers can focus on their business,” said Ashley Gorakhpurwalla, general manager and vice president, Dell Server Solutions. “The PowerEdge R930, our powerhouse server, and our entire four-socket server portfolio are the latest examples of how we’re providing our customers with the technology they need to address the business needs of today and tomorrow.”
