Dell Precision R5400

The Dell Precision R5400 is a high-performance dual-socket 2U rack workstation that provides an industrystandard alternative to blade workstations providing fully scalable high-performance graphics options.

A rack workstation that is big on performance and flexibility

Looking for a high-end workstation that delivers world-class performance and exceptional processing and graphics power, but is engineered for a high-density rack environment? Look no further. Developed in close collaboration with hardware and software partners, the Dell Precision R5400 rack workstation delivers no-compromise, high-performance workstation technologies in a flexible 2U chassis an ideal solution for centralizing critical customer data and workstation assets in secure locations (data centers, OEM customer enclosures, etc.). This is particularly attractive for high-performance clusters/render farms, crowded heat and acoustically sensitive environments like financial trading or factory floors. Optimized for performance, reliability and scalability in environments where space is at a premium, the Dell Precision R5400 lets you power through complex tasks with configuration options simply not available on blade workstations today.

workstation environments. And, to assure access to the latest productivity enhancing technology solutions, Dell invests in the workstation ISV community by providing the hardware platforms needed to further multithreaded and 64-bit application development. By maintaining strong relationships with ISV application developers, Dell engineers can provide ongoing optimization and support, should you need it.

Advanced remote access to the performance of the Dell Precision R5400

The full performance of the Dell Precision R5400 can be accessed by using the optional Dell FX100 Remote Access Device. Part of Dells Flexible Computing initiative, this solution (host card and remote user portal) benefits from having dedicated hardware running Teradici PC-over-IP (PCoIP) technology that leaves the workstations CPU and network resources available to run the chosen applications. A more flexible and low-cost alternative to traditional wired KVM remote solutions, the Dell FX100 can deliver an outstanding remote user experience (network infrastructure dependent). For virtual remote desktop environments (no host card needed) the Dell FX1001 is a certified PCoIP Hardware Zero Client with VMware View 4 enabling simple plug-and-play access to VMware View 4 Virtual Desktops. Please refer to the Dell FX100 Remote Access Device product brochure for more information on this world-class solution.

Visual realism with high-performance open GL graphics

Dell Precision workstations offer an intelligent selection of high-performance graphics cards that can satisfy a range of customer needs, from outstanding OpenGL 3D performance to dependable 2D performance. With its two PCIe x16 slots, the Dell Precision R5400 is well equipped to house highperformance graphics cards to help meet the toughest of visualization challenges. Select from a wide range of industrystandard cards while retaining the option to change or upgrade at a later date.

A new solution for some old challenges

The Dell Precision R5400, with the optional remote access solution, offers advanced relevant technologies designed to overcome some tough traditional challenges and succeed where other solutions have struggled to deliver: Centralizing critical data and applications in a secure location Eliminating the need for workstation users to be in inhospitable areas Enabling high-performance clustering using GPGPUs (General Purpose GPUs) Enabling flexible resource allocation (24-hour usage models)2 Enabling faster moves and changes as project teams are reassigned retaining benefits of a standardsbased workstation Addressing the distance limitations of traditional wired KVM solutions with optional Dell FX100 remote access device

Optimal scalability in a compact 2U chassis

The Dell Precision R5400 provides a highly scalable, costeffective architecture that can easily be housed in a rack without the expense and potential redundant rack space associated with an enclosure for blades. Workstations address many different user needs and run a wide variety of applications, using graphics and other industry standard cards. The flexibility of this rack workstation is enhanced by a choice of PCI, PCIx or PCIe slot combinations in addition to the graphics slots making it easy to optimize for a particular solution.
