Dell PowerEdge M420 Техническое руководство - Страница 5

Enjoy remarkable computational density with the Dell™ PowerEdge™ M420 that can deploy up to

32 server nodes in just 10U of rack space. Scaling up to 16 processor cores and 192GB of RAM, each

M420 couples processing power and memory capacity with tremendous I/O throughput, with up to

two ports of 10Gb Ethernet 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.

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 7 (iDRAC7) with Lifecycle Controller. iDRAC7, 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.

Implement the right combination of features and performance scalability with the PowerEdge

M-series blade servers, which can handle tough workloads in any size data centers. In addition to

the world-class management features provided in all PowerEdge servers, the M420 also takes

advantage of the capabilities of the M1000e Chassis Management Controller (CMC). The CMC

allows M-series blades to be managed individually or as groups, in single or multiple chassis, and

within a data center or in multiple geographically dispersed locations around the globe without

requiring a single agent or additional hardware. In addition to the existing networking infrastructure,

the new Dell Force10 MXL 10Gb switch provides next-generation port density and bandwidth for

exceptional throughput. PowerEdge M-series blade servers use the redundant power and cooling

infrastructure provided by the Dell M1000e blade enclosure, which is exceptionally easy to deploy

and manage, and maximizes power and cooling efficiency.
