Dell M-series blade servers
Dell is attempting to gain some ground in the server market, which is dominated by Hewlett-Packard and IBM. In order to grab a larger piece of the data center pie, the company has shoveled everything together into one announcement. And it's a big one.
There are 14 new products altogether: new Dell M-series blade servers, 11th-generation PowerEdge servers, Precision workstations, EqualLogic PS6000 storage arrays, and a host of revamped services.
The fact that they have joined competitors in taking on the needs of enterprise IT departments holistically--instead of piecemeal--marks good progress, according to Frank Gillett, principal analyst at Forrester Research.
"They're getting much more competent at engineering things together; they're not thinking about storage and servers by themselves anymore," he said.
It's all part of the "new Dell," according to Brad Anderson, Dell's senior vice president in charge of enterprise products. Five years ago, Dell was primarily concerned with cost-efficient supply chains. Now, he says, that same company sees "cost isn't just hardware and services, but the personnel around it."
To that end, Dell is stressing the services part of its new suite of products that are designed to save time and money. There's the decision to extend its ImageDirect offering to servers. A server can come with the image preconfigured, nullifying the need for a company's in-house IT people to install each image manually.
It's a service that Dell has previously offered for desktop and notebook PCs, but it's "an interesting twist" to offer it on servers, said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT. It's something that will likely resonate with very large businesses.
"If you're buying a few dozen servers, it's not a big deal. If you're buying hundreds or thousands, that's where something like this can really make sense," said King.
Playing catchup
But the real question is whether any of this will help Dell move ahead of competition. There's a lot of ground to make up. According to IDC's most recent tally of the x86 server landscape, HP has just over 58 percent of the blade market, compared to IBM's 22 percent and Dell's 9.8 percent. Dell is slightly closer in its race in rack-mounted servers, with 27.1 percent of the market, just behind the leader, HP, who has 39.6 percent.
And just last week, networking giant Cisco Systems launched its own server push.
Anderson says there's still time to catch up. While Dell is starting to gain some ground in Europe and Asia, he said, there's much more to do. "It's a multiyear endeavor to catch up to HP in servers in Europe. It won't happen overnight."
In the meantime, Gillett of Forrester says that Dell is at least keeping pace with its competitors. "They're keeping up, but it's not clear that they're pulling ahead," he said. To be fair, however, for this new generation of servers, Dell is the first to lay its cards on the table. Not until IBM, HP, and Sun show their hands, likely after Intel unveils the Nehalem-based Xeon processors for servers, can a full assessment be made.
The timing of the product introduction does appear to be less than ideal. IT spending is expected to grow just 2.6 percent this year, according to IDC. But Dell is counting on customers that don't have a choice but to increase their data center capacity or replace broken and outdated equipment. As Anderson noted, employees need to be able to send e-mail, and a company's compliance obligations can't be neglected just because the stock market is down.
But is there ever a right or wrong time to introduce updated servers? asks Gillett of Forrester.
"One of our own clients said every year is a recession in IT. They said, 'This (economy) is nothing different for us. We always have to do a lot more with less.'"
The storage arrays and workstations are available starting Wednesday, while the servers won't be until next week.

Connector Types
Gruber Industries
cable connectors
here are some common fiber cable types
What's the best way to terminate fiber optic cable? That depends on the application, cost considerations and your own personal preferences. The following connector comparisons can make the decision easier.
Epoxy & Polish
Epoxy & polish style connectors were the original fiber optic connectors. They still represent the largest segment of connectors, in both quantity used and variety available. Practically every style of connector is available including ST, SC, FC, LC, D4, SMA, MU, and MTRJ. Advantages include:
• Very robust. This connector style is based on tried and true technology, and can withstand the greatest environmental and mechanical stress when compared to the other connector technologies.
• This style of connector accepts the widest assortment of cable jacket diameters. Most connectors of this group have versions to fit onto 900um buffered fiber, and up to 3.0mm jacketed fiber.
• Versions are. available that hold from 1 to 24 fibers in a single connector.
Installation Time: There is an initial setup time for the field technician who must prepare a workstation with polishing equipment and an epoxy-curing oven. The termination time for one connector is about 25 minutes due to the time needed to heat cure the epoxy. Average time per connector in a large batch can be as low as 5 or 6 minutes. Faster curing epoxies such as anaerobic epoxy can reduce the installation time, but fast cure epoxies are not suitable for all connectors.
Skill Level: These connectors, while not difficult to install, do require the most supervised skills training, especially for polishing. They are best suited for the high-volume installer or assembly house with a trained and stable work force.
Costs: Least expensive connectors to purchase, in many cases being 30 to 50 percent cheaper than other termination style connectors. However, factor in the cost of epoxy curing and ferrule polishing equipment, and their associated consumables.
Pre-Loaded Epoxy or No-Epoxy & Polish
There are two main categories of no-epoxy & polish connectors. The first are connectors that are pre-loaded with a measured amount of epoxy. These connectors reduce the skill level needed to install a connector but they don't significantly reduce the time or equipment need-ed. The second category of connectors uses no epoxy at all. Usually they use an internal crimp mechanism to stabilize the fiber. These connectors reduce both the skill level needed and installation time. ST, SC, and FC connector styles are available. Advantages include:
• Epoxy injection is not required.
• No scraped connectors due to epoxy over-fill.
• Reduced equipment requirements for some versions.
Installation Time: Both versions have short setup time, with pre-loaded epoxy connectors having a slightly longer setup. Due to curing time, the pre-loaded epoxy connectors require the same amount of installation time as standard connectors, 25 minutes for 1 connector, 5-6 minutes average for a batch. Connectors that use the internal crimp method install in 2 minutes or less.
Skill Level: Skill requirements are reduced because the crimp mechanism is easier to master than using epoxy. They provide maximum flexibility with one technology and a balance between skill and cost.
Costs: Moderately more expensive to purchase than a standard connector. Equipment cost is equal to or less than that of standard con¬nectors. Consumable cost is reduced to polish film and cleaning sup-plies. Cost benefits derive from reduced training requirements and fast installation time.
No-Epoxy & No-Polish
Easiest and fastest connectors to install; well suited for contractors who cannot cost-justify the training and supervision required for standard connectors. Good solution for fast field restorations. ST, SC, FC, LC, and MTRJ connector styles are available. Advantages include:
• No setup time required.
• Lowest installation time per connector.
• Limited training required.
• Little or no consumables costs.
Installation Time: Almost zero. Its less than 1 minute regardless of number of connectors.
Skill level: Requires minimal training, making this type of connector ideal for installation companies with a high turnover rate of installers and/or that do limited amounts of optical-fiber terminations.
Costs: Generally the most expensive style connector to purchase, since some of the labor (polishing) is done in the factory. Also, one or two fairly expensive installation tools may be required. However, it may still be less expensive on a cost-per-installed-connector basis due to lower labor cost.
