Dell’s PowerEdge Servers bring new AI and machine learning enhancements and exciting edge deployment capabilities.
In an era where data generates at unprecedented rates, the need for robust and efficient servers has never been more critical. As businesses grapple with complex workloads, from artificial intelligence to machine learning, the demand for servers that can handle these tasks efficiently is soaring. A recent study revealed that 70% of IT leaders are integrating some form of artificial intelligence within their environments, underscoring the urgency of this technological shift.
How are modern servers evolving to meet these demanding workloads, and what does this mean for businesses today?
In the latest episode of Flawless Execution, presented by UNICOM Engineering, host Michelle Dawn Mooney sits down with Angela Blair, Director of Product Management at Dell Technologies OEM Solutions. Their conversation looks into the intricacies of Dell’s PowerEdge Severs and its capabilities in accelerating digital transformation.
Mooney and Blair’s conversation highlights:
- The PowerEdge Evolution: The 16th generation of PowerEdge servers, launched earlier this year, offers various configurations tailored for multiple needs, from AI and machine learning to edge deployments.
- Designing for the Future: Dell addresses challenges with these new servers, emphasizing the importance of deriving value from data, whether at the edge, cloud, or data center.
- Accelerating Insights: The term “accelerate” is frequently associated with this portfolio. Blair explains that in today’s data-driven world, businesses need faster insights and decision-making capabilities, which the PowerEdge servers facilitate.
Angela Blair leads product management and product marketing in the OEM Solutions Group at Dell Technologies. With a rich background in technology and a keen understanding of market needs, Angela has been instrumental in shaping Dell’s server offerings to cater to the evolving demands of modern businesses. Her insights into the industry's trajectory and the role of servers in shaping that future provide invaluable knowledge for any tech enthusiast or professional.
Exploring the abilities of Intel’s newest processor and accelerators on an episode of Flawless Execution, a podcast by UNICOM Engineering, host Daniel Litwin sat down to talk with Madhu Bramharouthu, the Technical Sales Manager for Xeon® Scalable Processors at Intel. The two discussed the history of Xeon processors and accelerators, and their applications across industries.
Key takeaways from the episode include:
The 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processor and accelerators will play a transformative role in enterprise computing
Intel made a strategic decision to address different workloads and deliver better performance, power efficiency, and total cost of ownership compared to previous generations
The fourth gen Intel Xeon scalable processors come with IP-based accelerators like Intel QAT, Intel DSA, Intel DLB, and Intel IAA, along with instruction set-based acceleration such as Intel AMX, offering significant performance improvements
“When you look at Intel's journey, we started this journey with the 1st Gen Scalable Processor about six, seven years ago, where we brought not only Instruction Set-based accelerators, but we also brought IP-based accelerators over the generations,” said Bramharouthu.
“With the 4th Gen Xeon Scalable Processor, you get both IP-based accelerators and Instruction Set-based accelerators.”
Madhu Bramharouthu is the Scalable Processor Technical Sales Manager at Intel. He’s been with the company for over 27 years. He started with the company mostly working in the data center area as an engineer and technical marketer, before moving into the sales and marketing department.
Edge computing – what is it? How does it work? Where does it apply? Tyler Kern discusses the possibilities and use cases with Bill Pfeifer, Edge Message Director of Dell Technologies. “At Dell, we define the edge as the place where data is acted on, near its point of creation, to generate immediate essential value,” said Pfeifer. The edge gathers data that could otherwise be compromised in the cloud or has a short-term value.
A recent Forbes article described it as “edge computing goes beyond the traditional type of computing, such as existing mobile phones or personal computers.” The concept is that edge captures data, runs it through AI algorithms to gain insights, then runs it through a processor to trigger the desired action. The distributed computers sense local environments and enable devices to perform actions independent of humans but consistent with wants. “We’re capturing this streaming data. Again, it's usually privacy-sensitive, or speed-sensitive, or size-sensitive,” said Pfeifer.
The autonomous vehicle is a prime example of edge computing. An immense amount of video data is collected, processed, and triggers the desired action. “Five minutes later, that video is worth nothing. But in sub-second response time type stuff, it’s immensely valuable,” said Pfeifer.
