The Dell PowerEdge™ rack-based server portfolio is designed for high-performance computing environments with broad requirements, including more local I/O (input/output) capacity and expandability. Dell offers numerous options with its PowerEdge Server line including:
  • 1 Rack unit/2 siemens (1U/2S) to 4 Rack units/4 siemens (4U/4S) form factors
  • Dual and quad core processor options (total core count is dependent upon total system size and configuration)
  • Up to 32 Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM) slots
  • Up to 256GB memory
  • Up to 7 Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) slots
  • Up to 8TB on-node storage
In capability and cost-sensitive environments, the Dell PowerEdge portfolio can deliver scale-to-size and scale-to-performance architectures for extended capacity and improved cost. These architectures meet exacting requirements that can include redundancy, extended flexibility of on-board features, local I/O, power consumption and large direct and Network Attached Storage/Storage Area Network (NAS/SAN) based storage options.

With Dell PowerEdge rack servers, cluster-based solution architectures can be custom designed for any environment or scaled to fit a broad range of usage criteria.
