NAP From Dell EMC Press release, Dell EMC Expands Server Capabilities for Software-defined, Edge and High-Performance Computing. The 2U single-socket Dell EMC PowerEdge R7415 is the first server platform with vsan Ready Nodes and offers up to 20% better TCO per four-node cluster for vsan deployments at the edge. Based on Dell internal analysis in January 2017, comparing the projected list price cost of a similarly configured Dell PowerEdge R7415 single-socket server versus the actual list cost of a traditional dual-socket server. Actual costs will vary. 28.

SPEC INT2006 Result URL: SPEC FP2006 Result URL: AMD SPEC CPU 2006 estimates based on tests conducted by AMD on an Ethanol reference platform configured with 2xEPYC SOCs, 512GB of memory (16x32GB DDR2666, 2R, 1DPC) using the Open64 v4.5.2 compiler, Ubuntu and 1000E BIOS. 155/170 TDP OPN s tested at 170W and 2666MHz memory speed. Intel SPEC CPU 2006 results from SPEC.org as of 30Oct2017 using the ICC compiler. More information about SPEC CPU 2006 is available at Slide #36: Core Bound Workload: Comparison generated by the AMD EPYC Comparison Tool hosted by Alinean,Inc, on March 14, Server configurations used in the this TCO comparison: AMD server configuration: 2 x AMD EPYC x 32GB DDR4 2666MHz DIMMs, 5 x 512 GB NVME: Intel server configuration: 2 x Skylake 6148, 24 x 32GB DDR4 2666MHz DIMMs. 5 x 512 GB NVMe. Pricing is based on internet list prices. Intel s pricing can be found at Base system cost is based on industry averages. For a 1 socket system, the base is $2,200 and a 2 socket system base is $2,500. Memory and Storage pricing is based on averages of internet list prices. Cost per square foot of data center space is based on Alinean Inc. research and is using industry averages. The default is $20 per square foot. This value will vary from location to location. The default for maximum power to the rack is based on AFCOM segments of low (up to 4kW), medium (5kW to 8kW), high (8kW to 15kW) and extreme (more than 16kW per rack average). 8kW was chosen as an average of the 4 segments. Processor power is based on published TDP. Memory power draw assumes 7w per GB. Storage power draw assumes 1.5 per drive. This is an average of the type and QTY of drives in the server. NVME assumes a 1.5W power draw, SAS assumes a 3W power Draw, SATA SSD assumes a 3W power draw and SATA assumes a 6W power draw. IT Admin salary is an industry average using $135,000 base and is scaled based on Alinean research by industry and country. Then a burden of 36% is applied to the salary to give a fully burdened salary rate. 45 DELL TECHNOLOGY WORLD AMD BREAKOUT SESSION MAY 1 ST, 2018
