The new Dell R640 SA server cuts search times by up to half.
Incident response and threat hunting searches through terabytes of stored packet and metadata require significant CPU resources. That's why previous SA servers have included 40 (s500) and 48 (Dell R730) cores. Even so, CPU resources have continued to be the limiting factor for end-user response times during analysis tasks.
The new Dell R640 SA server's two Intel Xeon Gold CPUs provide more than double the CPU horsepower with 104 cores allowing it to complete analytics requests in as little as half the time taken by older servers.See our results and how we tested in the attached PDF.
