Dell Technologies has announces new solutions to capture the time-sensitive value of the billions of devices at the edge, outside of a traditional data centre.
The new Dell EMC PowerEdge XE2420 is a compact, “short depth” server designed for space-constrained and challenging operating conditions often encountered in edge deployments.
It provides a low-latency, two-socket system with the flexibility to add up to four accelerators and 92Tn of storage per server to handle growing business application demands as well as analytics. It has Network Equipment-Building System certification with extended operating temperature tolerance and an optional filtered bezel for dusty locations. Front-accessible input/output and power provide easy access for field serviceability.
The Dell EMC Modular Data Center Micro 415 (MDC Micro) offers pre-integrated, enterprise-level data centre IT, power, cooling and remote management. It provides enhanced physical protection for IT equipment at the edge with extreme temperature-resistant enclosures, key lock doors and option for smoke detection and fire suppression.
The new Dell Remote Access Controller, iDRAC 9 Datacenter, has embedded management technology adds streaming data analytics capabilities critical for understanding edge operations to all Dell EMC PowerEdge servers. Its remote deployment capability can reduce administrator-attended time by up to 99,1% per server after initial setup compared to manual deployment, and includes streaming telemetry.
New, simplified automated certificate enablement is designed to provide zero-touch security at the edge and in central locations. With up to 20 new metric reports providing nearly 2,9-million data points per server, customers’ IT departments can leverage AI operations to develop custom routines based on the specific data they want to analyze for one, or all, iDRAC9 enabled systems wherever they’re deployed.
The Dell EMC Streaming Data Platform allows for ingestion and analysis of streaming data from the edge. Customers may now simplify infrastructure management to help harvest critical business insights and focus on new opportunities to improve their data infrastructure.
The enterprise-ready platform delivers a single solution for all customers’ data (whether streaming or not) that provides auto-scaling ingestion, tiered storage with historical recall on-demand and unified analytics for both real-time and historical business insights.
