Dell XC Series Use CasesEnterprise Applications

(e.g., MSFT Exchange, SQL, Oracle)

• High performance applications • Different resiliency and criticality needs • Looking for advanced capacity optimization • Versatile back-up or complex DR needs• Manage multiple clusters from one location

Branch Office• Multiple remote offices to deploy and manage

• Minimal on-site configuration

• Low IT expertise at branch office

• Complex DR and back up requirements (1-1, one to many, many to one)

Private cloud• Need to provide multiple users clones of

production data

• Scale 10,000+ users with high performance

• Identify bottlenecks quickly

• Quickly deploy test/development environments

VDI• Scale in small increments, pay as you grow • Looking to test from pilot to production• Performance / user experience issues • Low VDI or IT expertise within the team• Greenfield VDI project or no previous VDI

experience

Why Latest Generation Intel® Xeon® for virtualized workloads Benefits of 4th gen vs. 3rd gen Intel® Core™ processors and DDR4 vs. DDR3

• Better energy efficiency

– With a 19% improvement in SPECpower, the Dell PowerEdge R630 server provides greater energy efficiency and performance per watt over the previous generation

– For large Data Centers, deploying an equal number of 13G PowerEdge energy efficient servers can save 71,554 KWH or $10,986 dollars a year in operational expenses over 12G

• More VMs

– Current generation up to 57% more virtual machines than last generation when running the industry standard VMmark 2.x benchmark

• Better VM performance

– Current generation 52% better performance than last generation using industry-standard VMmark 2.x benchmark
