SUMMARY

This paper outlines our

innovative design features

within the PowerEdge MX

architecture that ensure

longevity of deployment.

The Multi Generation

Assurance outlines that we

will be releasing at a

minimum 3 generations of

compute node components

to be integrated into the

PowerEdge MX7000 chassis.

Current component trends

coupled with unique

capabilities of the modular

architectures mean that

customers can plan and

accommodate the

unprecedented levels of

change required for any

organization to remain

competitive.

Modular Infrastructure Return on Investment

Today, IT is increasingly seen as a center of influence, helping advise

and guide technology consumption across the organization. Technical

disruption is being brought about by a massive digital transformation.

The accelerating

adoption of new

technologies is

bringing about great

disruption to

existing markets

and business

models. This digital

transformation is

creating new, larger

opportunities in

virtually every

industry. Managed

well, it can become a competitive advantage for any industry.

To take full advantage of IT Transformation, IT capabilities need to keep

pace, adapt and transform. This means a shift from a static and inflexible

infrastructure to one that is more dynamic and automated, that fosters

innovation while maximizing return on investment.

The PowerEdge MX7000 chassis and PowerEdge MX-series portfolio,

part of the 14G server line, have the same foundational elements and

benefits of the 14G portfolio and additionally provide:

• Traditional advantages of modular design including a single

management console for all components and multiple chassis, cable

aggregation and density

• New disaggregated architecture that allows customers to allocate on-

demand ratios of shared pools of compute, storage, and fabric as

needed

Having an architecture with the ability to be as dynamic and innovative

as businesses demand allows customers to achieve optimal utilization

and flexibility, drive maximum productivity and availability, and deliver

superior ROI and greater financial results.

The PowerEdge MX7000 chassis has been designed to accommodate

at a minimum 3 server generations and corresponding processor

deployments, if not more, so the investment is protected well into the

future.

For the first generation of PowerEdge MX the chassis includes full feature 2-socket or 4-socket servers with the Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable family (Skylake-EP) and up to 24 or 48 DIMMs, 12 Gb/s SAS storage sleds, and a choice of networking switch IO modules (IOM). The PowerEdge MX7000 and its MX-series compute, storage and networking components can offer a flexible architecture to deploy traditional workloads and emerging workloads within the single managed architecture.
