In one of the biggest server launches in its history, Dell Technologies unveiled 17 new PowerEdge servers it says are designed to support industry moves toward edge computing, multi cloud strategies, artificial intelligence and research.
“We are embarking on a path to get to autonomous compute infrastructure,” said Ravi Pendekanti, senior vice president of server solutions product management and marketing at Dell Technologies in a call with media.
“We are building on what I would call workload-specific platforms to make sure we have an optimised platform for specific workloads,” said Pendekanti.
“We’ve been hearing customers say they’re not just looking for the optimal performance, the key is they’re looking for the best price performance. As much as we can try and pivot to always providing the best performance, one of the key things we keep hearing is, ‘Give us the right price performance.’ … We’re doing that with this launch today.”
