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
