Converged 5U rack platform

The Dell VRTX fits a blade chassis, shared storage and networking into a single 5U rack enclosure. Two M630 compute blades are installed, each carrying a 10-core Intel E5-2687W v3 processor at 3.1 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. Twelve 20 TB 7.2K SAS drives populate every 3.5-inch bay, served by an S130 controller and a PERC8 RAID module. Four 1600 W redundant power supplies and a 1 Gb switch module complete the infrastructure.

Virtualisation clusters and storage-heavy workloads

This system suits teams consolidating virtual machines or hosting large datasets where drive count and blade density matter. The single CMC and iDRAC8 Express simplify remote oversight. Buyers who need more than two compute nodes or who require 10 Gb switching should look elsewhere, as the chassis tops out at four blades and the supplied switch is 1 Gb only.

Twelve-bay 3.5-inch drive limit

Raw capacity is capped at twelve 3.5-inch drives, so the installed 20 TB SAS units represent the maximum drive count the chassis can accept. Expanding storage beyond this point means adding external enclosures rather than filling more internal bays.

Questions about this item

What is included in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The system ships with the VRTX chassis, two M630 blades, dual E5-2687Wv3 processors, 128GB DDR4 memory, twelve 20TB 7.2K SAS drives, a PERC8 RAID controller, a 1GB switch module and four 1600W redundant power supplies. No optical drive is fitted; additional PCIe cards and blade storage media are not included.

Which configuration should I choose for the blade count and drive capacity?

This unit is supplied with exactly two M630 blades and twelve 20TB SAS drives, filling all available 3.5-inch bays. There are no alternative blade counts or drive capacities offered for this specific listing.

What does the 3.1GHz 10-core processor figure mean for actual workloads?

Each blade runs a single Intel E5-2687Wv3 at 3.1GHz with ten cores and 25M cache, giving twenty total cores across the two blades for multi-threaded applications and virtualization tasks.
