- Dell PowerEdge M620 CTO Blade Server (for PE M1000e or VRTX)
- Dell PowerEdge M630 CTO Blade Server (for PE M1000e or VRTX)
- Dell PowerEdge M640 CTO Blade Server (for PE M1000e or VRTX)
- Dell PowerEdge M820 CTO Blade Server (for PE M1000e or VRTX)
- Dell PowerEdge M830 CTO Blade Server (for PE M1000e or VRTX)
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 optimize 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 and 12 x 3.5” or 25 x 2.5” HDD 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 (12 x 3.5” drives) or MD1220 (24 x 2.5” drives) disk arrays in redundant or capacity-based configurations.
- Integrate networking through the 10GbE or 1GbE 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 efficient 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 cryptographically signed firmware packages and Secure Boot.
- Prevent unauthorized or malicious change with Server Lockdown.
- Wipe all data from storage media including 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 manage server nodes, shared storage, networking and power in a single console. Access 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 virtualized environments with OpenManage Integrations for VMware vCenter or Microsoft System Center.
- Get rapid, at-a-glance identification of remote system locations and health status with Geoview.
