PLEASE NOTE -
Since these are Quarter Height Sleds. They MUST go into the M420 Sleeve which holds (4) Sleds / Nodes. If you plan to order this Sled you must also order this Sleeve.
Dell’s no-compromise approach towards enterprise-class features on our M-series blade servers is not limited by the M420’s ultra-dense form-factor. The fully redundant and individually serviceable M420 platform offers such capabilities as hardware RAID and hot-pluggable dual solid-state drives in order to ensure maximum uptime. Dell’s unique failsafe virtualization technology even extends the redundancy and resiliency of the M420 to virtual environments, offering a redundant, failover-capable infrastructure for embedded hypervisors.
Help manage your servers using the Dell OpenManage™ portfolio, including Dell’s exclusive Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller. iDRAC, an embedded systems management feature, allows Dell servers to be managed in physical, virtual, local and remote environments, either in-band or out-of-band and with or without a systems management software agent. OpenManage also integrates and connects to leading third-party systems management solutions you may already use, allowing you to maintain a single point of control and capitalize on your existing investment. OpenManage simplifies the lifecycle of deploying, updating, monitoring, and maintaining your PowerEdge servers
Enjoy remarkable computational density with the Dell™ PowerEdge™ M420 capable of deploying 32 server nodes in just 10U of rack space. Scaling up to 20 processor cores and 192GB of RAM, each M420 couples processing power and memory capacity with tremendous I/O throughput, with up to four ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) available in an exceptionally compact, individually serviceable form factor. From entry and mid-tier business applications, to high node-count virtual environments, and even distributed workloads such as cloud or high-performance computing (HPC) environments, the M420 provides advantages for virtually any data center where a large number of computational nodes need to be deployed in minimal space.
