How Dell EMC PowerEdge delivers the difference
On the road with Guillaume Field
Guillaume Field, Server & Networking Marketing Director at Dell EMC, uses his interview to explain how Dell EMC designed and developed the market’s most affordable and capable servers. Watch to discover why the key differentiators of the new PowerEdge server portfolio are leaving competitor products out in the cold…
Within the latest PowerEdge servers, he says, Dell EMC has enabled denser computing – more drives, more IOPS and the ability to have many more GPUs in the servers. “Translated loosely, that’s much more compute in a much smaller space – for our customers and our partners,” he explains.
PowerEdge servers can now run hotter, operating efficiently at up to 40-degree ambient air. “When we put them in our data centers with the hot aisles and the cold aisles, if you put our competitors’ servers behind them, we will cook them!”
Guillaume adds: “These new servers are the culmination of all of Dell EMC’s know-how. From a compute perspective, they’re the densest we’ve ever had. From a cooling perspective, they run better, hotter, faster than our competitors. More importantly, they’re the most affordable solution set and the most capable server solutions on the market.”
With the new PowerEdge portfolio, he says, Dell EMC has “listened to customers’ functional requirements, introduced practical innovations and deployed them as successful technical solutions.”
How would he describe this in one word? “That’s easy: awesome sauce!”

Secure, capable, scalable infrastructure that solves customer challenges
On the road with Brian Payne
In a world with ever more demand being placed on servers, Brian Payne, Vice-President, Product Management at Dell EMC, explains how PowerEdge solutions solve critical customer challenges.
You can watch this interview to discover how PowerEdge servers help your customers to operate with impressive efficiency and performance in different environments, such as hyper-converged workloads.
“The industry is excited because server infrastructure is powering the modern data center,” says Brian. “That means the demands on server infrastructure are more important than ever as we move to a world where there’s software-defined storage, software-defined networking. That means more workload and uses cases are coming to the server infrastructure, which puts more demands on the capabilities that a server provider like Dell EMC can deliver – and we’ve met that challenge with the new PowerEdge servers. We’re able to support all of those new and emerging use cases, as well as the traditional ones, more efficiently and more capably than ever before.
Dell EMC partners, he says, have really embraced the new server portfolio – seeing not only the enhanced capabilities, but their own input in terms of the features and functionality that have been developed. “There’s also the new enablement that we’ve done for our partner community,” he explains. “So now we can absolutely go hand-in-hand and meet end user needs in ways that we never have before.”
For Brian, PowerEdge in a word is: “Industry-leading”
