Dell has introduced enhancements to its Dell PowerEdge server portfolio with new AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors for better energy efficiency and performance for enterprise applications, Web, private cloud and virtualization. Dell now offers the AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors in its PowerEdge R715 and R815 rack servers, the PowerEdge M915 blade server and the ultra-dense PowerEdge C6145.

With up to 16 cores per processor, AMD says the new processors achieve up to 24 to 84 percent better performance helping applications to run more effectively. The Dell PowerEdge M915 supports four high-performance AMD Opteron 6282SE processors. For customers seeking to save data center space, the high-density Dell PowerEdge R815 provides four processors in a 2U chassis compared to the 4U designs of the HP DL580 and HPDL585.

"Highly virtualized environments and scale-out workloads like cloud and Big Data are changing the dynamics of the data center," said Sally Stevens, vice president, Server Platform Marketing, Dell. "From economical 2-socket platforms to high-performance 4-socket blades and ultra-dense servers, Dell PowerEdge systems are tuned to deliver outstanding performance and scalability. Our customers want to be able to do more work in less space, and we're giving them that capability with a complete AMD-based server portfolio that allows them to effectively manage high volumes of system traffic while reducing workload costs."

Built specifically to drive higher compute in less space, the Dell PowerEdge C6145 delivers strong performance, increased scalability for virtualization with less overhead, and more efficient scale-out economics for cloud computing. The PowerEdge C6145 now packs up to 128 AMD 6200 Series processor cores in 2U with shared infrastructure that increases server density and a streamlined feature set that minimizes power drain. As a result, customers such as the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) are able to handle massively parallel applications at 2-3 times less cost compared to typical 4-socket processing.

"NCSA iForge is a unique supercomputer that enables our private sector partners to solve the most complex real-world problems involved in the engineering, design and manufacturing of products in almost every commercial industry," said Evan Burness, Project Manager of NCSA's Private Sector Program. "Regular upgrades to the latest technologies help ensure that we continue to provide a distinct competitive advantage to our partners. Across a number of benchmarks, NCSA's early testing of the Dell PowerEdge C6145 with AMD Opteron 6200 series processors shows substantially better performance per dollar when compared to the Intel Xeon L7555 processor. Dell and AMD technology gives NCSA iForge the ability to do more with less, and that's a tremendous value for us."
