Investing in GenAI: Cost‑benefit analysis of Dell on‑premises deployments vs....Principled Technologies
Conclusion
Diving into the world of GenAI has the potential to yield a great many benefits for your organization, but it first requires consideration for how best to implement those GenAI workloads. Whether your AI goals are to create a chatbot for online visitors, generate marketing materials, aid troubleshooting, or something else, implementing an AI solution requires careful planning and decision-making. A major decision is whether to host GenAI in the cloud or keep your data on premises. Traditional on-premises solutions can provide superior security and control, a substantial concern when dealing with large amounts of potentially sensitive data. But will supporting a GenAI solution on site be a drain on an organization’s IT budget?
In our research, we found that the value proposition is just the opposite: Hosting GenAI workloads on premises, either in a traditional Dell solution or using a managed Dell APEX pay-per-use solution, could significantly lower your GenAI costs over 3 years compared to hosting these workloads in the cloud. In fact, we found that a comparable AWS SageMaker solution would cost up to 3.8 times as much and an Azure ML solution would cost up to 3.6 times as much as GenAI on a Dell APEX pay-per-use solution. These results show that organizations looking to implement GenAI and reap the business benefits to come can find many advantages in an on-premises Dell solution, whether they opt to purchase and manage it themselves or choose a subscription-based Dell APEX pay-per-use solution. Choosing an on-premises Dell solution could save your organization significantly over hosting GenAI in the cloud, while giving you control over the security and privacy of your data as well as any updates and changes to the environment, and while ensuring your environment is managed consistently.

Whether your AI goals are to create a chatbot for online visitors, generate marketing materials, aid troubleshooting, or something else, implementing an AI solution requires careful planning and decision-making. A major decision is whether to host GenAI in the cloud or keep your data on premises. Traditional on-premises solutions can provide superior security and control, a substantial concern when dealing with large amounts of potentially sensitive data. But will supporting a GenAI solution on site be a drain on an organization’s IT budget?
In our research, we found that the value proposition is just the opposite: Hosting GenAI workloads on premises, either in a traditional Dell solution or using a managed Dell APEX pay-per-use solution, could significantly lower your GenAI costs over 3 years compared to hosting these workloads in the cloud. In fact, we found that a comparable AWS SageMaker solution would cost up to 3.8 times as much and an Azure ML solution would cost up to 3.6 times as much as GenAI on a Dell APEX pay-per-use solution. These results show that organizations looking to implement GenAI and reap the business benefits to come can find many advantages in an on-premises Dell solution, whether they opt to purchase and manage it themselves or choose a subscription-based Dell APEX pay-per-use solution. Choosing an on-premises Dell solution could save your organization significantly over hosting GenAI in the cloud, while giving you control over the security and privacy of your data as well as any updates and changes to the environment, and while ensuring your environment is managed consistently.
Workstations powered by Intel can play a vital role in CPU-intensive AI devel...Principled Technologies
In three AI development workflows, Intel processor-powered workstations delivered strong performance, without using their GPUs, making them a good choice for this part of the AI process
Conclusion
We executed three AI development workflows on tower workstations and mobile workstations from three vendors, with each workflow utilizing only the Intel CPU cores, and found that these platforms were suitable for carrying out various AI tasks. For two of the workflows, we learned that completing the tasks on the tower workstations took roughly half as much time as on the mobile workstations. This supports the idea that the tower workstations would be appropriate for a development environment for more complex models with a greater volume of data and that the mobile workstations would be well-suited for data scientists fine-tuning simpler models. In the third workflow, we explored tower workstation performance with different precision levels and learned that using 16-bit floating point precision allowed the workstations to execute the workflow in less time and also reduced memory usage dramatically. For all three AI workflows we executed, we consider the time the workstations needed to complete the tasks to be acceptable, and believe that these workstations can be appropriate, cost-effective choices for these kinds of activities.
Enable security features with no impact to OLTP performance with Dell PowerEd...Principled Technologies
Get comparable online transaction processing (OLTP) performance with or without enabling AMD Secure Memory Encryption and AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Encrypted State
Conclusion
You’ve likely already implemented many security measures for your servers, which may include physical security for the data center, hardware-level security, and software-level security. With the cost of data breaches high and still growing, however, wise IT teams will consider what additional security measures they may be able to implement.
AMD SME and SEV-ES are technologies that are already available within your AMD processor-powered 16th Generation Dell PowerEdge servers—and in our testing, we saw that they can offer extra layers of security without affecting performance. We compared the online transaction processing performance of a Dell PowerEdge R7625 server, powered by AMD EPYC 9274F processors, with and without these two security features enabled. We found that enabling AMD Secure Memory Encryption and Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Encrypted State did not impact performance at all.
If your team is assessing areas where you might be able to enhance security—without paying a large performance cost—consider enabling AME SME and AMD SEV-ES in your Dell PowerEdge servers.

In high-temperature test scenarios, a Dell PowerEdge HS5620 server continued running an intensive workload without component warnings or failures, while a Supermicro SYS‑621C-TN12R server failed
Conclusion: Remain resilient in high temperatures with the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 to help increase efficiency
Increasing your data center’s temperature can help your organization make strides in energy efficiency and cooling cost savings. With servers that can hold up to these higher everyday temperatures—as well as high temperatures due to unforeseen circumstances—your business can continue to deliver the performance your apps and clients require.
When we ran an intensive floating-point workload on a Dell PowerEdge HS5620 and a Supermicro SYS-621CTN12R in three scenario types simulating typical operations at 25°C, a fan failure, and an HVAC malfunction, the Dell server experienced no component warnings or failures. In contrast, the Supermicro server experienced warnings in all three scenario types and experienced component failures in the latter two tests, rendering the system unusable. When we inspected and analyzed each system, we found that the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 server’s motherboard layout, fans, and chassis offered cooling design advantages.
For businesses aiming to meet sustainability goals by running hotter data centers, as well as those concerned with server cooling design, the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 is a strong contender to take on higher temperatures during day-to-day operations and unexpected malfunctions.

Three AMD EPYC processor-based two-processor solutions outshined comparable Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based solutions by handling more Redis workload transactions and requests while consuming less power
Conclusion
Performance and energy efficiency are significant factors in processor selection for servers running data-intensive workloads, such as Redis. We compared the Redis performance and energy consumption of a server cluster in three AMD EPYC two-processor configurations against that of a server cluster in two Intel Xeon Scalable two-processor configurations. In each of our three test scenarios, the server cluster backed by AMD EPYC processors outperformed the server cluster backed by Intel Xeon Scalable processors. In addition, one of the AMD EPYC processor-based clusters consumed 20 percent less power than its Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based counterpart. Combining these measurements gave us power efficiency metrics that demonstrate how valuable AMD EPYC processor-based servers could be—you could see better performance per watt with these AMD EPYC processor-based server clusters and potentially get more from your Redis or other data intensive applications and workloads while reducing data center power costs.

We deployed this modern environment, then migrated database VMs from legacy servers and saw performance improvements that support consolidation
Conclusion
If your organization’s transactional databases are running on gear that is several years old, you have much to gain by upgrading to modern servers with new processors and networking components and an OpenShift environment. In our testing, a modern OpenShift environment with a cluster of three Dell PowerEdge R7615 servers with 4th Generation AMD EPYC processors and high-speed 100Gb Broadcom NICs outperformed a legacy environment with MySQL VMs running on a cluster of three Dell PowerEdge R7515 servers with 3rd Generation AMD EPYC processors and 25Gb Broadcom NICs. We also easily migrated a VM from the legacy environment to the modern environment, with only a few steps required to set up and less than ten minutes of hands-on time. The performance advantage of the modern servers would allow a company to reduce the number of servers necessary to perform a given amount of database work, thus lowering operational expenditures such as power and cooling and IT staff time for maintenance. The high-speed 100Gb Broadcom NICs in this solution also give companies better network performance and networking capacity to grow as they embrace emerging technologies such as AI that put great demands on networks.

Compared to a cluster of PowerEdge R750 servers running VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5
Conclusion
If your company is struggling with underperforming infrastructure, upgrading to 16th Generation Dell PowerEdge servers running VCF 5.1 could be just what you need to handle more database throughput and reduce vSAN latencies. We found that a Dell PowerEdge R760 server cluster running VCF 5.1 processed over 78 percent more TPM and 79 percent more NOPM than a Dell PowerEdge R750 server cluster running VCF 4.5. It’s also worth noting that the PowerEdge R750 cluster bottlenecked on vSAN storage, with max write latency at 8.9ms. For reference, the PowerEdge R760 cluster clocked in at 3.8ms max write latency. This higher latency is due in part to the single disk group per host on the moderately configured PowerEdge R750 cluster, while the better-configured PowerEdge R760 cluster supported four disk groups per host. As an additional benefit to IT admins, we also found that the embedded VMware Aria Operation adapter provided useful infrastructure insights.
Based on our research using publicly available materials, it appears that Dell supports nine of the ten PC security features we investigated, HP supports six of them, and Lenovo supports three features.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

The Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast: a little workstation that can power big applications
1. The Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast: a little
workstation that can power big applications
We executed representative tasks in 16 professional apps using the
Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast and experienced no crashes or problems
More and more consumers need devices capable of compute-intensive work. As new technology allows media and
engineering professionals to create products at increasingly high resolution, the need for powerful workstations is
greater than ever. Sales of ultra-high-definition displays have continued to go up as the price of these devices has
gone down.1
Most of the major streaming services now offer 4K content and camera manufacturers are unveiling
products that can shoot in 8K.2
Professionals who rely on compute-intensive applications can find it difficult to
determine whether a given device can handle their workload.
At Principled Technologies, we performed a series of tests to measure the ability of new next units of computing
(NUCs) from Intel to run a collection of compute-intensive applications for professionals in industries such as
design, video, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). The Intel®
NUC 12 Enthusiast we tested features
an Intel Core i7-12700H processor and is very compact, measuring only 9.1 by 7.1 by 2.4 inches. In addition
to carrying out representative tasks in 16 demanding apps from independent software vendors (ISVs) including
Siemens®
, Adobe®
, and Autodesk®
, we also evaluated the performance of the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast as a virtual
desktop client with VMware®
Horizon®
View. The NUC 12 Enthusiast successfully ran all the apps and performed
routine tasks without crashing. If you’re a power user shopping for a workstation, our validation could help you
avoid spending valuable time determining whether this device meets the system requirements of your applications.

A Principled Technologies report: Hands-on testing. Real-world results.
2. How we tested
The Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast effectively handled 17 applications:
one VMware application for virtual desktop environments and 16
compute-intensive applications that feature prominently in fields
such as design, engineering for product lifecycle management (PLM),
and media and content creation. We aimed to use the most recent
versions of the compute-intensive apps.
Professionals using such applications require a great deal from their
systems—without sufficient processing power, a workstation can
crash under heavy compute demands, causing users to lose their
work and impeding productivity.
For each of the compute-intensive apps we tested, our scenario
comprised three phases:
1. Setup: Downloading and installing the application
2. Common task execution: Performing one or more
typical tasks or actions
3. Closure: Saving our work and closing the application
For us to consider a phase successful, we had to be able to complete
it without the system crashing or our experiencing any other
performance issues.
For the VMware app we looked at, our test scenario consisted of only
the first phase, setup, which included installing and logging into a VDI
session. Because the VMware app functions to create a virtual desktop
environment, end users who carry out these professional workflows
typically would neither perform specific tasks using this app nor close it.
About the Intel NUC 12
Enthusiast powered by the
Intel Core i7-12700H processor
The Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast packs
its powerful capabilities into a small
package. Users can rely on it to run
computer-aided design (CAD) apps
without devoting a great deal of
desk or floor space to the device,
which they could even mount on the
included vertical stand. Its compact
size makes it well suited to powering
interactive kiosks and digital displays.
The Intel NUC we tested features
Intel®
Arc™
A770M graphics, which
can support up to four displays,
and has 16 GB of GDDR6 onboard
video memory. With its Intel Core
i7-12700H processor and Intel Arc
graphics, the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast
was able to run every one of the
graphics intensive applications we
tested, rendering images and objects
as necessary without crashing. The
Intel NUC we tested also features a
500GB Samsung 980 Pro SSD. For
connectivity, the system has four rear
and two front USB 3.2g2 ports, two
Thunderbolt 4 ports, one HDMI®
port,
and two DisplayPort™
receptacles.
*The system we tested looked slightly different.

Adobe products
Professionals in content creation fields—film,
photography, graphic design, and web design,
among others—use these Adobe desktop
applications on a daily basis.
InDesign v17.4
Graphic designers use InDesign to create, edit, and format graphically intensive PDF documents for publishing.
Readers can view PDFs onscreen or print them. In this test scenario, we performed the following tasks: creating
a new document, adding a picture and text, and exporting the document as a PDF. The Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast
handled all tasks successfully.
Lightroom Classic v11.5
Photographers use Lightroom to edit and manage photos. In this test scenario, we performed the following tasks:
importing photos from a folder, merging them into a panoramic image, and exporting the file as a JPEG at 100%
quality. The Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast handled the tasks well, allowing us to perform the actions without issue.
Note: Digital cameras typically offer two formats: JPEG and RAW. The JPEG format involves processing and
compression, and makes for smaller file sizes, while the RAW format retains more of the original photo and makes
for larger files. Travel, nature, and fine arts photographers who work with RAW files might perform workflows such
as the one in our test, and then further edit the JPEG in Adobe Photoshop.
Photoshop v23.5
Creatives in many fields use Photoshop to manipulate images. It shares some features with Lightroom, but allows
users to edit at the pixel level for more granular control. You can use Photoshop to assemble multiple images into a
composite or blend high-contrast images into a high dynamic range (HDR) photo.
For this scenario, we selected five HDR files and merged them together. We then exported the picture as a JPEG at
100% quality. The Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast allowed us to perform these activities without any problems.
Premiere Pro v22.6
Videographers and video editors use Premiere Pro to edit footage. In this test scenario, we performed the following
tasks: creating a new project, importing a RED 4K RAW video file, formatting the video to H.264 for HD video and
audio, and exporting the file. A videographer who shoots in 4K might use this workflow if they needed to edit
video and audio for HDTV. The Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast had no issues as we carried out these the tasks.
After Effects v22.6
Videographers and video editors use After Effects to carry out a variety of postproduction activities. In our test
scenario, we performed the following tasks: adding a keyframe to set the parameters for an effect, moving it to
a new location in the video timeline, generating motion graphics, and rendering the file. A videographer, video
editor, or graphic designer creating or collaborating on a commercial or video for a kiosk might perform the actions
in this scenario. In our test, the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast handled these activities smoothly.

5. Avid Media Composer | Ultimate v22.7
Avid Media Composer | Ultimate v22.7 is non-linear editing (NLE) software for video editors, videographers, and
filmmakers. In our test scenario, we performed the following tasks: importing a RED 4K file, applying the Color
Correction effect, and exporting the file to H.264. As in our Premiere Pro scenario, a videographer who shoots in
4K might use this workflow to edit video and audio for HDTV, and as in that scenario, the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast
let us successfully execute the tasks.
Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 18
DaVinci Resolve is an NLE video editing app that video editors, videographers, and others in film and TV
production use. As in the Premiere Pro and Avid Media Composer scenarios, we imported RED 4K video;
however, we increased the video speed before rendering it as H.264. We experienced no issues executing these
tasks on the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast.

6. Autodesk
Autodesk calls itself a company that “makes software for people who make things.”3
Creators use Autodesk software to engineer cars, design skyscrapers, make films, and
more. They offer many products that focus on the design and rendering of products,
systems, infrastructure, and buildings. Autodesk users work in AEC fields, product
design, manufacturing, and media and entertainment creation—all areas that rely on
compute-intensive apps.
3ds Max 2023
Animators and video game designers use 3ds Max for
modeling, rendering, and animating 3D models and
objects. Using the app to create simple shapes and
objects is the first step to developing fully functional
and visually compelling models for movies, video
games, and commercials. For this scenario, we created
a cylinder and saved the project. We encountered no
problems as we performed these tasks using the Intel
NUC 12 Enthusiast.
AutoCAD 2023
Autodesk AutoCAD software is well known to most
professionals in AEC fields. It is a CAD app that allows
users to create two- and three-dimensional drawings
for floor plans, electrical wiring diagrams, topography
maps, and other visual planning projects. In our test
scenario, we performed the following tasks: creating a
2D drawing, rotating it, and saving the project. We did
not experience any obstacles while completing these
steps with the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast.
Inventor Pro 2023
Inventor Pro is a CAD app that allows designers,
engineers, and others to design and test 3D models in
an environment with stress, motion, and other factors.
For example, a mountain bike manufacturer might
use Inventor Pro to adjust the interaction between
components in a prototype’s suspension system. In
our test scenario, we performed the following tasks:
creating a basic 3D rectangle, rotating it, and saving
the project file. Carrying out this scenario on the Intel
NUC 12 Enthusiast presented no issues.
Maya 2023
Animators and other artists can use Maya to animate,
render, and model their 3D characters and worlds.
For this scenario, we created a torus shape (a three-
dimensional ring) using the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast
and did not run into any problems.
Revit 2023
Many professionals in AEC fields can use Revit, a
building information modeling (BIM) app, when
designing and constructing buildings. In our test
scenario, we performed the following tasks: opening
a sample project file with the app, changing a single
door to a double door, rotating the 3D image, and
saving the project. Completing this set of steps posed
no challenges for the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast.

7. Bentley MicroStation Connect Update 16
Like AutoCAD, MicroStation is a CAD app for 2D and 3D design and
drafting. It generates 2D and 3D vector graphics objects and has BIM
features. Professionals working on infrastructure projects can view, model,
and document their work. In our test scenario, we performed several tasks—
opening a sample project file, adding a rectangular addition to the structure
in the file, and saving the file—without issue.
Siemens
NX Core Designer
Engineers can use the CAD app NX Core Designer to design products using solid part modeling and assembly
modeling. Automotive engineers working at large manufacturers are good examples of Siemens NX software
package users.4
We successfully used the app to create an extruded rectangle.
Solid Edge 2022
Solid Edge is a 3D CAD app for mechanical designers. It runs on Microsoft Windows and provides solid
modeling, assembly modeling, and two-dimensional orthographic-view functionality. As with the NX Core
Designer scenario, we succeeded in creating an extruded rectangle.
Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 2201
Tecnomatix produces software to help manufacturing organizations make assembly, logistics, and other critical
workflows digital. We used the app to create a production line model, a basic function that manufacturing
engineers could use in a production plant design. The Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast handled this function as we
expected it to.
VMware
Horizon View 8.6.0
If you wanted to use an Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast as a virtual desktop client using VMware Horizon View, we
confirmed that it is possible to do so by installing the application and logging into a VDI session. You could also use
Horizon View to configure the Intel NUC to function as a kiosk or shared workstation, or restrict app access to the
Intel NUC and applications for security. (We did not test this functionality.)
