My main use case for Dell PowerEdge XR-Series is that it is integrated with all the databases and backup along with the storage infrastructure and application infrastructure. I am supporting all the PowerEdge servers. In my environment, I am using Dell PowerEdge XR-Series for trading as MBS is one of the trading technologies, and various backup management servers along with major applications are running on PowerEdge servers. I cannot disclose the application names, but all the production applications are running on PowerEdge servers. Regarding my main use case with Dell PowerEdge XR-Series, I need cluster-type PowerEdge servers because I am looking for high availability. I need more PowerEdge services now, especially since I am looking to start cloud deployment soon. As of now, Dell PowerEdge XR-Series has not been used much on production servers. I am primarily utilizing it for development and UAT, but I need it to be used more in production environments.
My main use case for Dell PowerEdge XR-Series is hosting and supporting cybersecurity workloads. I also use it to run the security tools and infrastructure that support vulnerability assessments, monitoring, and other security operations. One example is using it to host virtual machines for security testing and analysis, which provides a stable, high-performance environment for my team. In addition to my primary security workloads, I also use Dell PowerEdge XR-Series for virtualizations and hosting multiple internal services. Its scalability and reliability make it a good fit for consolidating different workloads on a single platform while maintaining consistent performance.
The use cases for the product include a video and analytics application, which requires compute and storage. We also host manufacturing automation workloads on these servers, and a few workloads are connected with the IoT. These servers are used for these workloads.

I am a reseller for Dell PowerEdge XR-Series. As a partner, I have to provide the users and services for Dell PowerEdge XR-Series deployments or any kind of virtualization purpose.
I still have experience with Dell products, particularly as I'm still working with Dell PowerEdge and others. I've been mostly dealing with Dell PowerEdge. We recently deployed Dell PowerEdge to our customers, including the Dell 380 Generation 12 and the Dell 5580 Generation 12. I'm working with Dell PowerEdge XR-Series. From running AI workloads on Dell PowerEdge servers, most of the customers that we have are running virtualization on Dell PowerEdge, such as VMware, and some of them are running HCI solutions, which are basically scale computing, Nutanix, and things of that nature.
This is mainly for the edge. For example, if you have a customer with a requirement to process data on the edge rather than on-site data center, that can be at a contracting site, on a ship in the sea, or in a retail shop.
Dell PowerEdge XR-Series server was deployed for a cybersecurity application based on a recommendation from the vendor of the security software. Based on this recommendation, we have already integrated the server and installed all cybersecurity applications over it. It keeps working fine, and we have very little issues with this product. Regarding security features, you need to have some type of protection if you are talking about data center security. You should monitor all the servers all the time and have another layer of security level in order to secure the server itself. If you talk about the application running over it for security reasons, it would be much better to have another layer of security to protect the data center.
I use Dell PowerEdge XR-Series for high-end applications, management installation of Active Directory, application installs, ESXi host for virtualization, and other components. If it doesn't give value for banking to be using it for their core application, it won't be successful, but it is a very good server and a very good high-end server that gives compatibility, and the performance also is pretty good.
