Dell EMC offers a holistic server portfolio of industry-leading 14th generation PowerEdge servers offering scalable business architecture and intelligent automation.
Recently, Dell EMC expanded its PowerEdge portfolio by unveiling two new four-socket servers – the PowerEdge R940xa and PowerEdge R840, part of the 14th generation Dell EMC PowerEdge server portfolio. Unlike competitors four-socket offerings, these servers support field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which excel on data-intensive computations. Both servers feature OpenManage Enterprise to monitor and manage the IT infrastructure, as well as agent-free Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) for automated, efficient management to improve productivity.
Additionally, PowerEdge servers are embedded with a deep layer of defense mechanism built into both the hardware and firmware, delivering integrated security systems throughout server lifecycle. Dell EMC’s established a three-step approach while designing 14th generation PowerEdge servers. The approach revolves around the concept of Protect-Detect-Recover. The Protect function consists of several categories including access control, data security, maintenance, and protective technology. Detect function provides complete visibility into the configuration, health status and change events within a server system. Recover function helps in recovering the BIOS, firmware and OS, eventually getting back to the consistent stage.
