Blade chassis for dense compute

The Dell VRTX is a 5U rack system that holds up to four M630 blades. This unit ships with two blades, each carrying a 2.3GHz 12-core processor and 128GB of DDR4. Twelve 20TB 7.2K SAS drives fill the chassis bays, and a single S130 controller manages the array. Four 1600W redundant supplies power the enclosure.

Suits capacity-focused clusters

Buyers needing a consolidated platform for virtualisation hosts or storage-heavy workloads will match the blade density and drive count. Teams that require 10GbE uplinks can use the dual-port X520 mezzanine on each blade. Operators who need GPU acceleration or more than eight PCIe slots should look elsewhere.

20TB 7.2K SAS drive capacity

The installed drives deliver 20TB each at 7.2K rpm over SAS. This single figure determines whether the raw capacity and sequential throughput meet the workload. The S130 controller provides RAID functions for the array.
