Dell announced the launch of eight new blade, rack and tower servers now with 45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors termed as PowerEdge servers, which promises to increase the Java performance by 49 percent as well as achieve highest VMmark scores for two- and four-socket servers, blades.

The product range offered by Dell now includes two- and four-socket Dell PowerEdge servers i.e. namely three blade servers (M905, M805, M605), four rack servers (R905, R805, 2970, SC1435) and one tower server (T605).

Dell says the new servers will improve bandwidth related performance by 12 percent, give increased performance while consuming the same amount of power as used previously and provides investment protection by offering Third generation PIN compatible for simple chip swap.

“Dell understands how to give you the most compute power for your IT dollar. So, we’ve designed our AMD processor-based servers and blades to be powerful and virtualization-ready, but simple and affordable,” said Pallab Talukdar, Director – Enterprise Business, Dell India.

 “AMD has worked hard to develop advanced virtualization capabilities as part of our new 45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor,” said Patrick Patla, vice president and general manager, Server and Workstation division, AMD. “We’re glad that Dell has chosen to utilize our virtualization technology in new blade, rack and tower servers, leveraging unique-to-AMD features such as Rapid Virtualization Indexing (RVI) and AMD Extended Migration, to enable an extremely flexible IT environment that meets the needs of businesses of all sizes.”
