Dell PowerEdge C2100
With the PowerEdge C2100, you don’t have to choose memory over disk capacity. You get both so you can get results faster. Dell designed the PowerEdge C2100 to maximize space, power and cost efficiency in data centers where memory and storage density are critical: MapReduce, Web analytics, database and cloud computing.
- High Memory Density — Get up to 18 double data rate 3 (DDR3) memory slots in a 2U form factor for a maximum of 144 GB.
- The Right Mix of Disks — Choose between two backplane options for ultimate performance or ultimate flexibility with 12x3.5-inch or 24x2.5-inch front-loaded hard-drive slots, as well as two internal 2.5-inch cabled hard drives.
- Focused Feature Set — Purpose-built design, optimized to provide only the features you need.
- The Dell™ PowerEdge C2100 gives you a purpose-built, cost-efficient solution for managing the volume and frequency of data generated in scale-out environments.
- Choose from high-capacity 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch Serial ATA (SATA), or high-performance serial attached SCSI (SAS) or solid-state drives (SSDs) on the front loaded drives, and 2.5-inch SATA or enterprise-class single-level cell (SLC) on the internal drives for the optimal storage solution (up to 25 TB) to support your applications.
- Drive-configuration options include 12 hot-plug 3.5-inch front-loaded hard drive slots, plus two internal 2.5-inch hard disk drives (HDDs) for added storage.
- Support for 6 Gb/S SAS gives you the future-ready scalability and performance needed in high-performance file operations.
We've designed PowerEdge C servers for rack deployments in large, homogenous cloud/cluster application environments where the software stack predominantly provides platform availability and resiliency. We didn't add the extra features you don't need to get the job done, such as extensive systems management, broad enterprise storage or same-day support.
