Dell Technologies has announced a series of significant advancements across its server, storage, and data protection portfolios, aimed at modernising data centres to be AI-ready. The announcement, made on 9 April 2025, highlights the company’s commitment to helping organisations adapt to the evolving demands of both traditional and modern workloads.
The new PowerEdge servers, featuring Intel Xeon 6 Processors, promise improved workload consolidation, energy efficiency, and future-ready designs. These servers are designed to handle demanding tasks such as high-performance computing, virtualisation, analytics, and AI inferencing. Dell claims these systems can reduce data centre footprints by up to 80% per 42U rack, saving energy costs and supporting sustainability goals.
In storage, Dell’s PowerStore platform has been updated to offer enhanced AI capabilities, improved performance, and security. The platform now includes AI-powered analytics and enhanced zero-trust security features, aiming to simplify data management and boost efficiency.
Dell’s ObjectScale platform, known for its high performance, has been upgraded to provide massive scalability and efficiency for AI workloads. The new generation introduces all-flash and HDD appliance options, enhancing performance and density.
Dell PowerProtect solutions have also been enhanced to improve cyber resilience, offering up to 91% faster restores and increased efficiency. These updates are designed to help organisations strengthen their data protection strategies whilst controlling costs.
Arthur Lewis, president of Dell’s Infrastructure Solutions Group, stated, “Modern applications require a new breed of infrastructure that will help customers keep pace with everchanging data centre demands.” Simon Robinson, principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, added, “Dell Technologies is delivering updates across its infrastructure portfolio designed to help customers easily overcome these challenges.”
The new products and updates are available now, with some offerings set to launch later in 2025.
