 Dell EMC offers a holistic server portfolio of industry-leading 14th generation PowerEdge servers, which offer scalable business architecture and intelligent automation. Increasing workloads due to penetration of emerging technologies has forced IT infrastructure to deliver modern capabilities that adapt and scales with business needs and ultimately enables faster IT transformation. Recently, Dell EMC expanded its PowerEdge portfolio by unveiling two new four-socket servers – the PowerEdge R940xa and PowerEdge R840, part of the 14th generation Dell EMC PowerEdge server portfolio. Unlike competitors’ four-socket offerings, these servers support field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which excel on data-intensive computations. Both servers feature OpenManage Enterprise to monitor and manage the IT infrastructure, as well as agent-free Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) for automated, efficient management to improve productivity.

Additionally, PowerEdge servers are embedded with a deep layer of defense mechanism built into both the hardware and firmware, delivering integrated security systems throughout the server lifecycle. Dell EMC’s established a three-step approach while designing 14th generation PowerEdge servers. The approach revolves around the concept of Protect-Detect-Recover. The Protect function consists of several categories including access control, data security, maintenance, and protective technology. The detect function provides complete visibility into the configuration, health status and change events within a server system. Recover function helps in recovering the BIOS, firmware, and OS, eventually getting back to the consistent stage.
