A dense compute node to address extreme compute at scale
The Dell EMC PowerEdge C6520 is designed to support dynamic compute at scale business requirements in a dense form factor.
- Supports 8 channels per CPU, up to 16 DDR4 DIMMs at 3200 MT/s DIMM speed
- Address substantial throughput improvements with PCIe Gen 4 and up to 10 NVMe drives
- Ideal for traditional corporate IT, database and analytics, VDI, and AI/ML and Inferencing
- Scale compute resources with Intel Xeon Scalable that offer up to 1.50x performance gains over previous generation Cascade Lake. Ice Lake CPUs scale up to 40cores per CPU.
Automate maintenance with Dell EMC OpenManage
The Dell EMC OpenManage portfolio helps deliver peak efficiency for PowerEdge servers, delivering intelligent, automated management of routine tasks. Combined with unique agent-free management capabilities, the C6520 is simply managed, freeing up time for high profile projects.
