Dell EMC PowerEdge C6420
The PowerEdge C6420 optimizes compute, processors, memory
and large volume local storage for an IT services platform that can
be eciently and predictably scaled, while drastically reducing
complexity. With up to 4 independent hot-swappable 2-socket
servers in a very dense 2U chassis, servers can be easily
repurposed as workloads change. Numerous options for compute,
storage, connectivity and chassis oerings provide exibility to
congure servers for your specic workloads.
