"Any necessary adjustments can be made seamlessly without the need to unplug cables, as everything is contained within the rack itself."
"Dell PowerEdge servers are powerful. They don't break, and I love that. In my career of over 30 years now, all the Dell servers we've ever used out of the box have never broken."
"The solution is reliable."
"The DRA cards for server management is the most valuable feature. They provide a clear overview of server settings and issues. We also like that the notifications are well-organized."
"Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers have been stable and reliable over the last decade."
"This is a stable solution."
"The newer servers are more energy-efficient compared to older ones."
"The scalability of the Dell XR2 Rugged Server is good and easy to do."
"The storage and the disc performance in terms of IOPS is great."
"Different types of applications that are now trendy in the market, like AI, are still big topics that are not mapped correctly in the server and storage environment. Knowing those kinds of activities and definitions will help us more to position these kinds of servers for the client."
"As the disks and memory should be expandable, I would highlight scalability as an issue."
"There are certain aspects, features, and functionality on the motherboard that need improvement."
"The specs for the benchmarks are very good, but the firmware and software are lacking. There are some issues with the Linux kernel and the long-term support (LTS) for some of the firmware's dependencies. It is causing the kernel to dump. The support for the Linux brands isn't optimal. We would like them to optimize the kernel drivers for benchmarks."
"Overall, the solution is excellent, though Dell could improve the monitoring."
"Currently, the solution does not have the in-process memory encryption technology."
"I would like them to be more flexible when implementing more capabilities."
"It could be an option to remove discs and just have a virtual option. If you remove the room you need for discs, you could make it smaller. It would take up less room that way."
"It lacks a modular option to expand to a 16-bay system."
"Dell XR2 Rugged Server could improve if there was more customization allowed."
