Dell PowerEdge servers champion advanced modelling and datasets
New Dell PowerEdge servers help organisations embrace AI and HPC initiatives to generate faster, smarter outcomes. Designed in collaboration with Intel and NVIDIA, the new systems use Smart Cooling technology and enable organisations to harness AI for model training, HPC modelling and simulation, core-to-edge inferencing and data visualisation.
PowerEdge XE9680 – Dell’s first high performance 8x GPU server leverages eight NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs or NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs, resulting in optimal performance, in an air-cooled design. The server combines two upcoming 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and eight NVIDIA GPUs, to help deliver maximum performance for AI workloads.
PowerEdge XE9640 – Next-generation 2U performance optimised 4x GPU PowerEdge server, combining Intel Xeon processors and Intel Data Centre GPU Max Series. With fully direct liquid cooling, the system is designed to reduce energy costs with greater rack density.
PowerEdge XE8640 – Air-cooled 4U performance optimised 4x GPU server featuring four NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and NVIDIA NVLink technology, along with two upcoming 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Designed to help businesses develop, train and deploy machine learning models to accelerate and automate analysis.
Implement HPC for faster, more efficient risk assessment
The fast-paced global financial industry needs access to technologies that can provide measurable returns on investments. New Dell Validated Design for HPC – Risk Assessment runs data-intensive simulations on HPC systems, including GPU-accelerated Dell PowerEdge servers, Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® and NVIDIA Bright Cluster Manager® software, to look at large volumes of historical and real-time data to analyse risk and return faster.
The validated design offers financial services institutions optimal configurations for system performance and efficiency. These configurations are designed, validated and tuned for this specific use case by Dell HPC engineers and workload experts. The result is modular IT building blocks that offer simplified design, configuration and ordering more quickly with a single point of contact for services.
Rajesh Pohani, VP of portfolio and product management for PowerEdge, HPC and Core Compute at Dell Technologies
As compute innovation accelerates to keep pace with demand, customers are looking to upgrade their IT environments and harness advanced computing capabilities to speed discovery and insights. New Dell Technologies servers and solutions give businesses of all sizes access to technologies once only accessible for the world’s largest research institutions and government agencies, allowing them to tackle HPC, ease AI adoption and propel their businesses forward.
Chris Kelly, SVP, Data Centre Sales, Asia Pacific & Japan, Dell Technologies
Today’s business leaders are constantly seeking to make informed real time decisions in order to stay ahead of the competition – but this can be challenging given the increasingly complex data environment that exists. Our customers in Asia Pacific & Japan are telling us that the volume, velocity & variety of data is increasing faster than they can analyse it and we see no signs of this trend abating any time soon. Organisations must manage data intelligently and efficiently, scalable to their needs and underpinned by resilience and security. Ultimately, we are enabling our customers to gain meaningful insights that deliver real value and gain a competitive advantage with our new PowerEdge servers.
