Cyber Resilient Design for Zero Trust Operations & IT Environment

Every stage of the PowerEdge lifecycle, from the factory-to-site integrity assurance and protected supply chain, incorporates security. End-to-end boot resilience is anchored by a silicon-based root of trust, and trustworthy operations are ensured by role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Boost productivity and expedite processes through self-governing cooperation

For PowerEdge servers, the Dell OpenManage systems management portfolio offers a complete, effective, and safe solution. Using iDRAC and the OpenManage Enterprise console, streamline, automate, and centralise one-to-many management. For open ecosystem system management, the HS5620 provides Open Server Manager, which is based on OpenBMC.

Durability

The PowerEdge portfolio is made to manufacture, deliver, and recycle items to help cut your operating expenses and lessen your carbon impact. This includes recycled materials in their products and packaging as well as smart, inventive alternatives for energy efficiency. With Dell Technologies Services, they even simplify the responsible retirement of outdated systems.

With Dell Technologies Services, you can sleep easier

Optimise your PowerEdge servers with a wide range of services, supported by their 60K+ employees and partners, available across 170 locations, including consulting, data migration, the ProDeploy and ProSupport suites, and more. Cloud Scale Servers are only available to a limited number of clients under the Hyperscale Next initiative.

An in-depth examination of the benefits of the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 system cooling design

Understanding the systems’ performance in each test situation requires analysing their thermal designs. Servers use a variety of design components, such as motherboard design, to keep computers cool. Sensitive components can be prevented from overheating one another by being positioned on the motherboard. Fans also help to maintain airflow, and a well-designed chassis should shield components from hot air. They look at these design components in the Supermicro SYS-621C-TN12R and Dell PowerEdge HS5620 servers below.

The Supermicro SYS-621C-TN12 motherboard configuration that they examined. They also added component labels and arrows that display the direction of the airflow from the fans; blues and purples represent colder air, and reds, oranges, and yellows represent hotter air.

Motherboard layout

The positioning of the M.2 NVMe modules on the Supermicro system’s motherboard presented special challenges. For instance, because the idle  SSD was situated immediately downstream of a processor that was under load in the second and third test situations, its temperature climbed as well. Furthermore, the power distribution module (PDU) connecting the two PSUs to the rest of the system did not have a dedicated fan on the right side of the chassis. The Supermicro design, on the other hand, depended on ventilation from the fans integrated into the PSUs at the chassis’ rear.

The BMC recorded a PSU failure during the second fan failure scenario, despite the fact that they did not see a PDU failure, highlighting the disadvantage of this design. On the other hand, the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 motherboard had a more complex architecture. Heat pipes on the heat sinks were employed by processor cooling modules to enable more efficient cooling. Because the PDU was built into the motherboard, the components’ ventilation was improved. Both a Dell HPR Gold and a Dell HPR Silver fan were used in the setup they tested to cool the parts of the PDU.

Summary

Stay cool under pressure with the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 to boost productivity. Elevating the temperature of your data centre can significantly improve energy efficiency and reduce cooling expenses for your company. With servers built to withstand both elevated ambient temperatures and high temperatures brought on by unanticipated events, your company can keep providing the performance that your clients and apps demand.

A Dell PowerEdge HS5620 and a Supermicro SYS-621CTN12R were subjected to an intense floating-point workload in three different scenario types. These scenarios included a fan failure, an HVAC malfunction, and regular operations at 25°C. The Dell server did not encounter any component warnings or failures.

On the other hand, in the last two tests, the Supermicro server had component failures and warnings in all three scenario types, which made the system unusable. After closely examining and comparing each system, they concluded that the motherboard architecture, fans, and chassis of the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 server had advantages for cooling design.

In terms of server cooling design and enterprises seeking to satisfy sustainability goals by operating hotter data centres, the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 is a competitive option that can withstand greater temperatures during regular operations and unplanned breakdowns.
