DELL PowerEdge C6525 Node 2x EPYC 7502 2.5GHz 32C 32GB DDR4 S150

Dell PowerEdge C6525 half-width node

The Dell PowerEdge C6525 is a half-width rack node built for high-density compute clusters. Two AMD EPYC 7502 processors run at 2.5 GHz with 32 cores each and 128 MB cache. Memory ships as 32 GB DDR4 in two 16 GB PC4-3200 modules. Remote management uses iDRAC9 Express and storage connects through an S150 controller.

Compute-focused buyers without large local storage

This node suits HPC clusters, render farms and virtualised workloads that scale across many half-width sleds. The single 1 GbE LOM and S150 controller limit onboard networking and RAID options. Buyers who need more storage bays, faster networking or a hardware RAID adapter should look at a different platform.

Dual 32-core EPYC 7502 CPUs

The defining specification is the pair of AMD EPYC 7502 processors delivering 32 cores per socket at 2.5 GHz. That core count drives parallel throughput for modelling, simulation and container density. If the workload needs fewer cores or a different instruction set, another server will fit better.
