  • 2U rackmount chassis with support for up to four independent Dell C6420 nodes.
  • Each node supports dual Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 28 cores per CPU.
  • Up to 1.024TB DDR4 memory per node, with speeds up to 2933MT/s.
  • Ideal for HPC, virtualisation, and cloud workloads.
Exceptional Scalability and Performance

The Dell PowerEdge C6400 integrates up to four C6420 nodes, each equipped with dual Intel Xeon Scalable processors, offering up to 28 cores per CPU. This setup delivers high computational power for resource-intensive workloads, such as big data analytics and AI modelling. Each node supports up to 1.024TB of DDR4 memory across 16 DIMM slots, ensuring smooth multitasking and high-speed data access for demanding enterprise applications.


Customisable Storage and Expansion Options

The C6420 nodes support flexible storage configurations with up to 24 SFF or 12 LFF drives managed by the S140 Software RAID controller. This ensures optimal storage performance for both high-capacity and high-speed requirements. Expansion options include x16 PCIe Gen3 risers and OCP Mezzanine cards, enabling enhancements such as GPUs, network adapters, or M.2 boot devices for tailored performance.


Designed for Virtualisation and Management

Optimised for virtualised environments, the PowerEdge C6400 supports leading platforms like VMware ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V. Integrated iDRAC9 provides remote monitoring and lifecycle management, allowing IT teams to efficiently manage resources and maintain uptime. The OpenManage suite ensures simplified administration, even in complex data centre setups.


Reliable and Energy-Efficient Design

The PowerEdge C6400 features redundant hot-plug power supplies and fans to minimise downtime and maintain continuous operation. Its energy-efficient thermal management reduces operational costs without compromising performance, making it a sustainable choice for modern enterprises. These robust features ensure reliability in mission-critical environments.
