The Dell EMC PowerEdge R7515 (2U rack system) is a 1-socket, 2U server that is designed to run complex workloads using highly scalable memory, I/O ports, and network channels. The system is based on the 2nd and 3rd Generation AMD EPYC processors, which support several SKUs ranging from 16 cores and up to 64 cores, up to 16 DIMMs, PCI Express-4.0 enabled expansion slots, and a choice of LOM riser technologies.
Deliver breakthrough performance, innovation and density for traditional and emerging workloadsData center evolution starts with modern platforms that scale easily and are optimized for application performance. The Dell EMC PowerEdge R7515 is built upon a scalable system architecture and provides choice and flexibility to meet performance demands. High-level specifications:
- 100%more processing cores and faster data transfer speeds with PCIe Gen 4
- 20%more memory performance for scale out environments
- Direct connect SAS/SATA/ NVMe for vSAN Ready Nodes
- High core count performance for highest VM density in a single-socket design
- Multi-die architecture offers low latency and floating-point performance for big data and containers
Increase efficiency and accelerate operations in the Dell EMC PowerEdge R7515The Dell EMC OpenManage systems management portfolio delivers an efficient and comprehensive solution for PowerEdge servers through tailored, automated, and repeatable processes.
- Automate server life cycle management with scripting via the iDRAC Restful API with Redfish conformance.
- Simplify and centralize one to many management with the OpenManage Enterprise console.
- Utilize the OpenManage Mobile app and PowerEdge Quick Sync 2 to easily manage servers using a phone or tablet.
- Resolve issues with up to 72% less IT effort using automated proactive and predictive technology from ProSupport Plus and SupportAssist.
Fortify your data center with integrated securityEvery PowerEdge server is designed with a cyber resilient architecture, integrating security deeply into every phase in the lifecycle, from design to retirement.
- Enhance security with platform enablement of AMD Secure Memory Encryption (SME) and Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV).
- Operate your workloads on a secure platform anchored by cryptographically trusted booting and silicon root of trust
- Maintain server firmware safety with digitally signed firmware packages.
- Detect and remediate unauthorized or malicious change with drift detection and system lockdown.
- Securely and quickly wipe all data from storage media including hard drives, SSDs and system memory with System Erase.
