Passing the Test

“Standardizing on Dell servers has increased our reach—we can extend service to more researchers.”

- Kim Burlingame, senior system administrator, Cornell Institute for Social and Economic Research

With data sets becoming larger and more scientists working concurrently, CISER’s high-performance computing cluster was no longer able to keep up with the demands of advanced social and economic research.

Dell^TM  PowerEdge^TM  R900 servers with the Intel^®  Xeon^®  processor 7300 series enable CISER to increase processing capacity while staying within the space and cooling constraints of the data center facility.

• Get IT Faster: A Dell PowerEdge R900 test unit enables the CISER team to quickly evaluate the new server before making a purchase decision
• Run IT Better: The Dell servers run research jobs approximately 80 percent faster; Dell OpenManage^TM  and Dell Remote Access Controller technologies help reduce server management time
• Grow IT Smarter: Dell PowerEdge R900 servers provide four times the processing capacity of previous servers; The energy-efficient Dell servers help reduce data center heat
