Dell EMC PowerEdge VRTX integrates servers, storage, networking and management into a single office-optimised chassis. Increase efficiency by eliminating disparate hardware and multiple management tools with the scalable and easy-to-manage VRTX platform.
Details
Adapt and scale with an expandable, versatile platform
The PowerEdge VRTX was designed for remote-office and small-office environments with "under your desk" dimensions and quiet acoustics. The PowerEdge VRTX is built on a scalable business architecture so you can continually optimise your capacity and performance with future-proof compute, storage and networking options within a single chassis.
- Scale as you grow, with up to four PowerEdge blade servers as well as 12x 3.5" or 24x 2.5" HDD and GPU accelerators within its compact chassis.
- Mix and match the two-socket, half-height PowerEdge M630 and M640 server nodes and four-socket, full-height M830 based on your changing workload requirements.
- Easily add more storage by connecting to up to four MD1200 (12x 3.5" drives) or MD1220 (24x 2.5" drives) disk arrays in redundant or capacity-based configurations.
- Integrate networking through the 10GbE or 1 GbE internal switch module or an optional 1Gb Ethernet pass-through module.
- Take advantage of flexible, expandable I/O with eight PCIe slots.
- Keep operating expenses in check with energy efficienct Fresh Air validated configurations and standard power requirements.
Safeguard data with integrated security
Every PowerEdge server is made with a cyber-resilient architecture-, delivering security into all parts of a server's life cycle. Dell EMC considers each part of system security, from design to end of life, to ensure trust and deliver worry-free systems.
- Maintain data safety with cryptogrpahically signed firmware packages and Secure Boot.
- Prevent unauthorised or malicious change with Server Lockdown.
- Wipe all data from storage media incuding hard drives, SSDs and system memory quickly and securely with System Erase.
- Add another layer of protection with optional FIPS-certified self-encrypting drives (SED).
Enterprise-wide systems management
Dell EMC Chassis Management Controller (CMC) lets you mange server nodes, shared storage, networking and power in a single console. Acces CMC through an easy-to-use web interface that works with a variety of Dell EMC OpenManage tools including iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller. Choose to manage your VRTX with embedded agent-free management or inband.
- Use the OpenManage Mobile app to receive and take action on hardware alerts at the server or from anywhere, at any time.
- Streamline management in virtualised environments with OpenManage Integrations for VMWare vCentre of Microsoft System Centre.
- Get rapid, at-a-glance identification of remote system locations and health status with Geoview.
