Dell Customers Benefit From Speedy Delivery Of New PowerEdge Server Platforms

27 April 2010 IndyGeek.net View Comments

Customers are looking to improve the efficiency of their data center environments with reliable, standards-based solutions that are high-performing, energy efficient and can support mission critical workloads. Following the introduction of new PowerEdge servers featuring Intel Xeon 7500 processors, Dell customers are already deploying new PowerEdge R810, R910 and M910 systems based on Intel’s latest “Nehalem-EX” Xeon 7500 and 6500 processors. While HP has yet to begin shipping Intel EX-based systems, Dell is delivering open, capable and affordable server solutions today so customers can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

“Dell customers are benefiting today from intelligent x86 server solutions that improve virtualization performance, speed resource consolidation and help support important business and database applications,” said Forrest Norrod, vice president and general manager for Dell’s Server Platform Division. “We don’t need to protect legacy RISC/UNIX investments and we don’t lock customers into a proprietary architecture. We’re simply enabling customers to do more with less and helping them to reap the benefits of powerful new server technologies that leverage Intel’s new Nehalem-EX processors.”

Dell PowerEdge servers featuring Intel Xeon 7500 processors are ideal for customers looking to migrate from proprietary RISC/UNIX deployments in a flexible and affordable manner. While the RISC/UNIX market continues to decline1 and software vendors discontinue support for RISC technologies, Dell stands as one of the only x86 solutions providers unencumbered by legacy assets and long-term services contracts to protect. This value proposition becomes even more pronounced when customers weigh in on supporting technologies like Itanium, which is no longer being supported by Microsoft and Red Hat. By providing open standards based IT solutions supported by industry leading partners, Dell through short-duration services engagements is helping customers quickly and efficiently leverage x86 technologies to drive business value and growth.
