Dell introduced 2 new database servers, systems management software and data center assessment services that bring outstanding performance, value and manageability to customers’ data center environments.
The Dell PowerEdge 6800 and PowerEdge 6850 feature the new 64-bit Intel Xeon processors MP (multi processor). Like other Dell 8th-generation servers, the PowerEdge 6800 and PowerEdge 6850 offer the latest core technologies, including DDR2-400 ECC memory and PCI Express I/O, delivering performance that is up to 32 percent higher than previous Dell four-processor offerings.
For the first time ever, Dell PowerEdge four-processor servers can be configured for application-specific performance optimization. The new 64-bit Intel Xeon processors MP are available in two different configurations: large 8MB level three cache, or a smaller level two cache with a faster processor clock speed. This enables customers to choose the configuration based on their data center environment to take advantage of either a larger cache or a faster processor clock speed.
For customers with a database environment, the PowerEdge servers can be configured with a large cache processor to efficiently handle the large data blocks typical in those environments. For other applications that benefit from processor-centric performance, customers will benefit from the faster processor speeds. The result is a PowerEdge server that offers the highest levels of performance but with a new, lower cost of acquisition. In fact, the PowerEdge 6800 and 6850 are the lowest priced four-processor servers ever offered by Dell.
“With the launch of the PowerEdge 6800 and PowerEdge 6850, we have effectively lowered the barrier to entry for customers looking to deploy a high-performance, four-processor server for database environments,” said Jeff Clarke, senior vice president of the Enterprise Product Group, Dell. “While our customers continue to look to us for low cost, the real value we’re offering is a tightly integrated solution of high performance hardware, certification with leading applications, complete management software and the professional services to ensure optimal installation and usage in their data center.”
