Technology is the engine of human progress. For organizations, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) is key to solving complex challenges and creating new opportunities. Yet realizing AI’s full potential depends on the strength of your IT foundation. Many businesses find their existing infrastructure strained by the demands of modern workloads, creating a barrier to innovation.
To move forward, organizations must address the realities of today’s IT landscape: limited data center space, rising energy costs, and the critical need for sustainability. By embracing modern, efficient server solutions, you can turn these challenges into competitive advantage and drive strategic growth for your enterprise.
Key Trends Shaping IT Infrastructure
Demand for computing power is accelerating, driven by AI and massive data growth. This is putting significant pressure on the physical resources that underpin our digital world. IT leaders are navigating several key trends:
The Capacity Crunch. Data center space is at a premium; in some mature markets, available capacity has fallen below 3%. This scarcity means simply adding more hardware is often not viable or cost‑effective. Innovation must focus on density, achieving more performance in a smaller footprint.
The Power and Sustainability Imperative. AI workloads are energy‑intensive, and electricity costs are climbing across Europe. At the same time, more companies are committing to net‑zero goals to meet regulatory requirements and corporate responsibility targets. Aging infrastructure—lower‑performing and power‑hungry—works against both financial and environmental sustainability.
The Expanding Edge. Workloads are increasingly moving from the traditional data center to the edge, closer to where data is generated and action is taken. This shift demands powerful, compact, and resilient infrastructure that operates reliably in diverse environments.
Innovate with Confidence: PowerEdge and AMD
Dell Technologies, in partnership with AMD, delivers server solutions engineered for this new reality. The latest generation of PowerEdge servers featuring AMD EPYC processors provides the performance, efficiency, and scalability to power your business forward.
The PowerEdge 1‑socket rack servers are designed to help you achieve more with less. They offer a dependable, high‑performance solution in a compact, efficient form factor.
PowerEdge R6715 and R6725: Efficient Performance
These 1U, single‑socket servers prove you can achieve exceptional performance without the footprint of larger systems. Powered by a single AMD EPYC 5th‑generation processor, they deliver the high core counts and throughput required for workloads that once demanded dual‑socket servers. This lets you consolidate older systems, free valuable rack space, and reduce power consumption.
Key features that empower your enterprise include:
-
- Powerful processing: A single AMD EPYC 5th‑generation processor delivers the performance needed for demanding AI, virtualization, and data analytics workloads.
- High‑speed memory: Support for up to 24 DDR5 RDIMMs (up to 6 TB) keeps large datasets close to the CPU, reducing latency and accelerating results.
- Flexible, scalable storage: A wide range of configurations—from high‑capacity SAS/SATA to ultra‑fast NVMe and dense E3.S options—lets you tailor the server to your needs.
- Future‑ready connectivity: Support for PCIe Gen 5 provides the bandwidth for high‑speed networking and future accelerators, helping protect your investment over the long term.
A Strategic Path Forward
Choosing the right infrastructure is a strategic decision. By modernizing with PowerEdge 1‑socket servers, you can directly address today’s most pressing IT challenges—reclaim rack space, lower energy costs, and make tangible progress toward your sustainability goals—while improving performance.
These servers are more than hardware; they’re tools for progress. They provide the density to thrive in constrained spaces, the efficiency to lower total cost of ownership, and the performance to drive the AI revolution. Modernize your IT to ensure your organization is ready for whatever comes next.
