As a general purpose rack server, Dell's PowerEdge R720 has always been a top choice and this latest version offers an even higher processing density and increased performance. It supports Intel's E5-2600 v2 CPUs which deliver more cores and better performance without a significant increase in power demands. Memory speeds are increased to 1,866MHz and Dell has implemented its patented Fault Resilient Memory (FRM) feature. Supporting the new Reliable Memory Technology feature of VMware's vSphere 5.5, t
The Dell Processor Acceleration Technology (DPAT) targets high frequency trading applications that require consistent and predictable processor performance. Intel's Turbo Boost transitions can increase latency and jitter but DPAT allows you to fix the number of active cores and Turbo Boost speed to minimise these effects and provide a smoother performance.
Our review system also came with the CacheCade feature of Dell's PERC RAID controller enabled. This is designed to use SSDs to improve read operations and our lab tests show what a big difference it can make.
