Dell's 13th generation PowerEdge R630 1U rack server, based upon the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 product family, proves capable of producing 9.5% more work and 19% better overall energy efficiency than a like-configuration of its two-year-old predecessor the PowerEdge R620. Even when idle, the R630 consumed 14% less power thereby saving a substantial 88 KWh of electricity per year.
The energy efficiency of PowerEdge servers, configured just like many enterprise data center customers would, has improved 163x over the past ten years. Given IT customers’ demand for servers that can perform more work while at the same time reducing a data center footprint, electricity use and TCO, Dell makes the engineering investment to provide just that.
The SPECpower_ssj2008 industry-standard benchmark for measuring compute server energy efficiency was used for this comparison. For more information on how SPECpower_ssj008 works, see spec.org/power_ssj2008/
