Designed with your needs in mind
High-performance workloads such as seismic processing, video rendering and scientific simulations rely heavily on compute performance, memory bandwidth, and overall efficiency to drive time and cost savings that impact a server’s total cost of ownership (TCO).
The next-generation Dell PowerEdge C6220II servers provide an ideal solution for such demanding environments and feature the latest Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 processors for improved performance and efficiency. This scale-out building block is a true workhorse with up to four 2-socket server nodes in a highly-flexible 2U shared infrastructure chassis.
With up to 24 cores per node, memory bandwidth up to 1866MT/s, and dynamic drive assignment, the PowerEdge C6220II delivers new levels of performance that can be tailored to customer requirements while offering increased flexibility and reliability over traditional rack mounted servers.
Deliver results faster and more securely
Computationally-intense workloads demand performance, from processors to memory to connected devices. The PowerEdge C6220II features Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 processors with increased core counts of up to 50% over prior E5-2600 models, as well as 50% more cache. Those improvements deliver performance enhancements of up to 40%, allowing you to do more with less and get results faster than ever before.
In addition to this leap in processor performance, the PowerEdge C6220II server supports up to 512GB of memory per server node — with up to four nodes per chassis — for a total of 2TB of memory in a highly-dense, 2U solution. Memory bandwidth has also been improved substantially with support for 1866MT/s DDR3 DIMMs, reducing bottlenecks for memory-intensive applications.
Additional enhancements to PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 connectivity drive up to 4x faster task completion for high-performance computing (HPC) workloads while expanded support for x16 non-transparent bridges allows greater flexibility in device memory mapping for complex HPC environments.
Flexibly mix workloads in the same chassis
The PowerEdge C6220II allows you to tailor your environment to specific workload needs with numerous options for compute, storage and connectivity within one advanced 2U chassis.
Support for up to two 2U nodes with additional PCIe expandability or four 1U nodes to maximize compute density lets you tailor resources as needed over time.
Each C6000 chassis supports up to 24x 2.5” or 12x 3.5” drives with multiple SATA and SAS options for up to 48TB of storage capacity. With the expander backplane option, dynamic drive assignment for 2.5” drives provides even more flexibility by zoning any number of drives to each node, giving nodes additional or fewer storage resources as workloads demand.
The x8 PCIe mezzanine slot in each node supports a variety of options for 1Gb and 10Gb Ethernet, InfiniBand, or additional drive controllers while the x16 PCIe slot adds even more flexibility, including connection to the 16-slot PowerEdge C410x PCIe expansion chassis — delivering up to 16.48 teraflops of added GPGPU-based computing performance.
The PowerEdge C6220II server is part of Dell’s hyper scale inspired PowerEdge C server line designed to bring the most compute power in the least amount of space with the least energy draw to lower operational costs. These servers have the right combination of what you need and nothing more. They are purpose-built servers designed for high performance computing, Web 2.0, hosting, data analytics, and cloud building. They are best for rack deployments, large homogenous cluster/cloud application environments where the software stack provides primary platform availability and resiliency. The PowerEdge C server line does not come with features you don’t need in a scale-out environment like comprehensive systems management, or broad enterprise storage.
