PowerEdge C6420 | Purpose-built for high performance hyperscale workloads

PowerEdge C6420 is ideal for high performance hyperscale workloads. With 4 nodes in a 2U FF, it maximizes density, scalability, and energy efficiency per U.

Ideal server for high performance, hyperscale workloads

NonVolatile Memory express (NVMe) drives and fabrics such as InfiniBand and Omnipath can be added for even higher scalability. This makes C6420 an ideal solution for hyperscale compute workloads requiring high scalability and high performance such as High Performance Computing (HPC) or big data analytics, SaaS and web scale applications, financial modeling, high frequency trading, etc.
