Dell Technologies is refashioning its infrastructure line to address the rapidly changing needs of enterprise IT, introducing a new generation of PowerEdge servers optimized to handle anything from AI loads to data-intensive tasks—without compromising energy consumption. And central to it all are Dell’s new PowerEdge R470, R570, R670, and R770 models based on Intel’s Xeon 6 processors.
This update is more than just hardware refresh. Dell is indicating a shift towards disaggregated infrastructure—systems designed for flexibility, modularity, and long-term resiliency. Engineers have optimized these servers for virtualization, AI inference, and high-performance computing (HPC), enabling companies to modernize legacy systems in the face of rising demands and increasing cybersecurity threats.
The PowerEdge R770, for instance, is notable. Dell says it can provide up to 67% greater compute throughput with 50% more cores, and reduce data center power and space consumption by as much as 80% per rack. That change matters in a time when stakeholders more closely examine data centers for their environmental footprint. Integrated tools such as iDRAC 10 and Dell OpenManage also vow to provide smoother, centralized management.
But storage hasn’t sat on the sidelines. Dell has continued on with refreshes to its PowerStore and ObjectScale platforms, adding more intelligent AI insights, improved compliance capabilities, and performance enhancements optimized for everything from media intake to massive-scale AI model training. On the long-term storage front, Dell’s PowerScale now supports 122TB SSDs, allowing up to 6 petabytes of AI-ready storage per node.
Dell’s security move is through its updated PowerProtect portfolio, now more streamlined and effective for environments today. With quicker restore times and increased deduplication, the solutions look to reduce downtime and footprint.
While business tech teams get ready for a future more and more dominated by AI and exploding data, Dell seems to be wagering on infrastructure that changes at a similarly rapid pace—less about absolute scale and more about precision, resilience, and sustainability.
