Good news for vSAN users: Dell’s industry-leading, 14th generation PowerEdge servers, the bedrock of the modern data center, now include models with AMD EPYC processors available as vSAN Ready Nodes.
This incredible pairing takes storage optimization and cost cutting to a whole new level—critical factors for companies eager to deploy emerging workloads:
- Software-defined storage deployments
The highly configurable, 1U single-socket Dell PowerEdge R6415, with up to 32 cores, offers ultra-dense, scale-out computing capabilities. Storage flexibility is enabled with up to 10 PCIe NVMe drives.
Edge computing deployments
The 2U single-socket Dell PowerEdge R7415 offers up to 20 percent better TCO per four-node cluster for vSAN deployments at the edge. With 128 PCIe lanes, it offers accelerated east/west bandwidth for cloud computing and virtualization. And with up to 2TB memory capacity and 12 NVMe drives it improves storage efficiency.
High performance computing
The dual-socket Dell PowerEdge R7425 delivers up to 25 percent absolute performance improvement for HPC workloads like computational fluid dynamics (CFD). With up to 64 cores, it offers high bandwidth with dense GPU/FPGA capability.
Dell vSAN Ready Nodes reduce your risk.
New applications and exponential increases in data require the most simple, streamlined, and cost-effective storage approach possible. This is why many enterprises are drawn to VMware® vSAN,™ a software-defined storage (SDS) solution for hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI).
The performance of this software—and your return on investment (ROI)—depends on the hardware you choose. Dell’s long-term partnership with VMware ensures you get the most reliable infrastructure in easily purchased and deployed building blocks.
Dell’s new AMD EPYC-based PowerEdge servers—like all of our PowerEdge servers—have been pre-configured, tested and certified to reduce deployment risks, improve storage efficiency, and let you quickly and easily scale storage as needed. And each vSAN Ready Node includes the right amount of CPU, memory, network I/O controllers, HDDs and SSDs that are best suited for VMware vSAN.
Dell vSAN Ready Nodes are the easiest way to optimize your servers for vSAN. And Dell is the first and only server provider to offer vSAN Ready Nodes in AMD EPYC-equipped servers.
