Dell PowerEdge C1100
The PowerEdge C1100 has the maximum number of memory slots in an Intel® Xeon® 5500/5600 series architecture.This power-efficient series more than doubles your memory capacity over previous Intel® generations, providing up to 18 DDR3 DIMM sockets for a maximum of 144GB.
In addition to supporting extremely large memory capacity, the PowerEdge C1100 supports lower-cost memory solutions by allowing for the use of smaller DIMMs in optimal configurations.
Choose from high-capacity 3.5" SATA, high-performance 2.5" serial attached SCSI (SAS), or enterprise-class single-level cell (SLC) solid-state drives (SSDs) for the optimal storage solution (up to 8TB) to support your applications.
Drive-configuration options include 4 x 3.5” or 10 x 2.5” hot-plug hard drives.
With the PowerEdge C line of servers, Dell has leveraged its expertise in custom-built hyperscale computing and high-volume production to bring ultra-dense, high-performance, efficient solutions to HPC, Web 2.0 and cloud builders.
We've designed PowerEdge C servers for large, homogenous cloud/cluster application environments where the software stack predominantly provides platform availability and resiliency. We haven't added the extra features you don't need to get the job done, such as extensive systems management, broad enterprise storage or same-day support.
