Flexibility within a stable platform
VRTX is both flexible and stable. Flexible in its extensive hardware configurability and scalability,
while consistent and uniform in performing systems management operations. These characteristics
give users confidence that VRTX can readily adapt to accommodate new workload requirements,
while protecting existing investments in hardware, software, management tools and skills.
Key technologies
VRTX shared storage provides a massive amount of local storage within the chassis — up to 48TB
with the 3.5-inch hard drive chassis. The storage is shared among the server nodes and is managed
through the VRTX CMC. Using the CMC, you can create and assign virtual disks to single or multiple
server nodes.
You can also use the CMC to flexibly assign PCIe slots to server nodes — up to four PCIe slots to a
single server node. The assignments are flexible during initial setup in that any PCIe slot may be
assigned to any server node, and the assignment may then be reassigned.

Key technologies
Detailed descriptions
New Intel processors that work with the Intel C602 series chipset. These
processors are more advanced than the previous generation and have embedded
PCIe lanes that improve I/O performance.
New Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip that replaced the ICH.
Advanced Intel Xeon E5-2600 processors support 1600MT/s memory; Intel Xeon
E5-2600 v2 processors support 1866MT/s memory.
This new memory option, load reduced DIMM (LRDIMM), is designed with a buffer
chip (or chips) to replace the register to help minimize loading. LRDIMMs can
increase overall server system memory capacity and speed.
The Dell Select Network Adapter options allow you to customize your LAN port
combinations from your choice of controller vendors.
This new software RAID solution supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10; supports maximum
of four hot-plug SATA hard drives or SATA solid-state drives.
VRTX supports the new PERC8 controller cards with improved functionality and
faster performance.
The second-generation embedded systems management solution for Dell servers
provides agent-free hardware and firmware inventory and alerting, in-depth
memory alerting, faster performance, a dedicated gigabit port, and many more
features.
VRTX supports advanced power monitoring and power capping tools that can
help manage power consumption.
