With four 2-socket server nodes in a 2U rack chassis, the Dell PowerEdge C6100 is a hyper-scale-inspired building block for high-performance cluster computing, Web 2.0 environments and cloud builders. The C6100 offers extreme rack density (twice the density of most 1U servers) and shared infrastructure (like blade servers), both of which help to reduce the floor space, power, & cooling requirements of these servers.
Helpful features include:
Easy serviceability - Individual server nodes can be serviced without affecting the other nodes in the rack.
Massive flexibility - Front-mounted 3.5" or 2.5" hot-plug hard drives, up to four 4 discrete 2-socket nodes, x16 PCIe slot and x8 mezzanine slots, and hot-plug redundant power supplies.
Save power & increse efficiency - By sharing power supplies, fans and backplanes, the PowerEdge C6100 effectively reduces the total amount of power consumed for energy efficiency and lower operating costs.
