Accelerate performance on machine

learning workloads and keep GPUs cool

with the Dell EMC™ PowerEdge™ C4140
This Dell EMC solution with NVIDIA®
Tesla® V100 GPUs achieved more work
than a Supermicro® solution did and kept
the GPUs cooler

Gets the job done

Dell EMC solution Supermicro solution

Gives you control

iDRAC 9 with Multi-Vector Cooling delivers granular GPU info and fan control in real time
and offers fine-tuning abilities, such as being able to adjust fan speed to meet a specific
airflow requirement.
