Dell PowerEdge Cloud Servers

Dell PowerEdge C-Series

Built upon an open x86 architecture, the Dell PowerEdge C-series has the flexibility to ensure that you are provided with just the right combination of features for optimal density, serviceability and memory, all while saving you money by reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO).  Designed to handle public clouds and private clouds, as well as large, homogenous cluster applications, Dell PowerEdge C servers are ideal for environments in which the availability mainly resides in the software stack. With the advantage of a combination of custom hyperscale computing as well as high performance and efficiency, additional applications that Dell PowerEdge C servers work well for include High Performance Computing (HPC), Web 2.0, large scale-out web farms, and video rendering. Not only adding to the applicational abilities, hyperscale computing also functions to enhance the energy efficiency of the C servers, which results in reduced cost and space requirements since they are efficient enough to perform at optimal levels in a smaller amount of space.

Since they are so efficient, Dell PowerEdge C-series servers actually reduce the amount of physical hardware required, such as server racks and cabling. And as dense, energy-efficient servers, the C series of Dell PowerEdge servers are actually considered to be microservers, which is a fairly new server class. Microservers came about in response to a market need in which many servers were overloaded with unneeded features, making the customer pay more for features they didn’t need. And so Dell PowerEdge C series microservers were developed as servers that are power efficient with high performance and high speed, and yet don’t have any additional, unnecessary features – allowing them to do the job you need them to do at a price you can actually afford. When it comes to their configuration, Dell PowerEdge C series servers can be equipped with up to 2 independent 4-socket nodes within a 2U chassis, and use the latest AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon processors for optimal performance.
