Trends affecting 13G Servers
AMDDell AMD based server product line planned to EOL in mid-2015.
Intel shifts Gears: Intel is discontinuing EN processor series (E5-2400) used on the on the R/T 4xx/5xx platforms and replacing with EP series (E5-2600) used on the 6xx/7xx platforms.
Implications for Dell & Dell customers: Returning to model similar to 11G where there was a common processor stack across all 2S models which were differentiated by memory addressability, packaging, internal storage capabilities etc.

Key Limitations to Application Performance shifts to IO
CPUs, memory and network performance have continued to increase, and storage capacity has grown ...
But HDD speed has not kept pace….and application
performance is impacted.
