  9. Solution: Dell dcs For these customers, the cloud platform is their factory DELL CONFIDENTIAL

  10. Challenges for this segment Annual Amortized Costs in the Data Center for a 1U server (Source: Belady (2007)). • Lifecycle costs for a server outweigh the acquisition costs • Energy costs are becoming part of an IT budget DELL CONFIDENTIAL

  11. IDC QUOTE Much remains to be learned about the low end, especially the white-hot sub-$50,000 Workgroup technical server segment. But this much is already certain these users typically require ease-of-everything; purchasing, installation, operation (including software compatibility and performance), and upgrading.

  12. THE DELL APPROACHSIMPLIFYING HPC Standardized, Tested and Validated:to drive flexibility and value Pervasiveacross applications – repeatable, adoptable, affordable Empowerresearch ready with turn-key solution stacks

  13. VALIDATED CONFIGURATIONS Using proven methodologies to define pre-configured packages all of which have been tested and validated by Dell’s Solutions Engineering Team AN INTEGRATED APPROACH Dell integrates best-of-breed server and storage technologies with leading open source and middleware to deliver scalable platforms that deliver outstanding price/performance IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES Dell solutions are based on existing, validated architectures employing best practices that allow us to greatly reduce consultancy and implementation time. CHOICE OF OPERATING SYSTEMS The Dell solution provide a complete choice of leading operating systems including Red Hat Enterprise Linux or the Microsoft Windows cluster products. HPC SUPPORT SERVICES The Dell ProSupport services provide a “single point of entry” for all hardware and operating system problems ensuring issues are dealt with quickly and efficiently. FINANCE Through DFS leasing rather than purchasing you can achieve cost-efficient acquisition, management, replacement and disposal of technology of your HPC technology. HOW WE DO IT

  19. HPC IN ACTION – ECO FRIENDLY SUPER COMPUTING “The simplicity of the Dell system is perfect. Using the Dell PowerVault connected to the PowerEdge servers, all the information is stored together, whatever platform we’re working on. We can get to this information faster and more easily.” Kevin Ginty, Technical Manager, Centre of internet technologies, Sunderland University The University of Sunderland

  20. HPC IN ACTION – IN SILICIO “We needed a significant increase in processing power, from a solution that could be delivered to a fixed budget, within a very tight timeframe, and was easily scalable. Dell were able to satisfy us on all counts.”Goncalo AlbuquerqueDirector, Software Development, In Silicio In Silicio design and develop simulation software platforms for nanomanufacturing

  21. HPC IN ACTION – THE KIEPENHEUER INSTITUTE “Our purpose was to get a preconfigured complete system with a maximum of compliance to our existing programs and using Infiniband connections. Dell has done this task from our point of view in a perfect way”. Dr. Peter Caligari Kiepenheuer Institute of Solar Physics The Kiepenheuer Institute focus research on hydrodynamic processes taking place on the surface of the sun

  22. HPC IN ACTION – ZURICH’S FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY “In the very area of disk space, Dell was able to outscore the competition. But the decision was made in favor of Dell primarily because the proposed cluster was believed best to meet our needs.” Dr. Sylvaine Ferrachat, Scientific Programmer Zurich’s Federal Institute of Technology Zurich’s Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science research the causes and effects of the earths climate change.
