5 Reasons for Growing Businesses to Modernize Their Servers

Aging infrastructure can hold your business back. Modernizing with Dell PowerEdge R470, R570, R670 and R770 servers, featuring the latest Intel^® Xeon^® 6 processors, provides a powerful, reliable foundation for growing businesses. Here are five reasons to refresh your servers today.

Intel Xeon processors deliver industry-leading performance, advanced security, and built-in AI acceleration — so you’re ready for today’s demands and tomorrow’s opportunities.

1. Boost performance and productivity

Outdated servers slow down your applications and your team. Modern infrastructure can:

• Accelerate applications: Run your databases, CRM and business-critical software faster with the latest processors and high-speed memory.
• Enhance productivity: Empower your teams to work without lag. Faster data processing means reports are generated in seconds, not minutes, and collaboration is seamless.
• Uplift performance: Experience significant performance gains over previous generations, allowing you to get more done with fewer resources.

2. Lower costs

Holding on to old hardware costs more than you think. A server refresh delivers a measurable returns:

• Consolidate and save: Go from 5 servers to 1! Replace multiple legacy servers with a single, powerful Dell PowerEdge server. This reduces software licensing fees, energy consumption, and management overhead.
• Reduce energy costs: New PowerEdge servers are engineered for efficiency, consuming significantly less power and cooling than older models, which directly lowers your utility bills.
• Minimize downtime: Reduce the risk of costly failures and expensive extended warranties associated with aging hardware.

3. Strengthen your security posture

In the face of evolving cyberthreats, a server is your first line of defense. Modern servers have security built in, not bolted on.

• Cyber-resilient architecture: From the silicon root of trust to system lockdown features, PowerEdge servers with Intel Xeon processors protect your infrastructure throughout its entire lifecycle.
• Protect critical data: Secure your data with hardware-anchored security. Intel^® Software Guard Extensions (SGX) creates private memory regions to isolate and protect sensitive code and data while in use.
• Innovate with confidence: Operate with the confidence that your digital assets are protected by an enterprise-grade security foundation, defending against sophisticated firmware and supply chain attacks.

4. Prep for future workloads

Modernizing your servers today prepares you for the demands of tomorrow, including AI and edge computing.

• AI-ready platform: The PowerEdge R670 and R770, featuring Intel Xeon 6 processors with built-in AI accelerators, give you the power to run AI inferencing and machine learning workloads.
• Edge computing capable: Deploy powerful compute wherever your data is generated, from the factory floor to the retail store, for real-time insights and faster decision making.
• Scalable by design: Start with what you need, and scale as your business grows. PowerEdge servers provide the flexibility to add memory, storage and processing power.

5. Operate sustainably

Achieve your business goals while reducing your environmental impact. Modern, energy-efficient servers are a cornerstone of a sustainable IT strategy.

• Improved energy efficiency: Do more with less. The latest PowerEdge servers deliver superior performance-per-watt, helping you meet sustainability targets.
• Optimized cooling: Advanced thermal designs mean servers run cool and efficiently, further reducing power consumption.
• Smart investment: Lowering your carbon footprint also lowers your operational costs, creating a win-win for your business and the planet.
