Efficient, feature-rich 2-socket modular server for PowerEdge MX
Product Message
High performance with density for exceptional scalability
Positioning: Flexible and dense compute resources for virtualization, collaborative and software-defined workloads in a 2-socket, single-width sled.
Key Fact: A maximum of eight MX740c sleds can be installed in the MX7000 chassis, providing 448 physical cores, up to 192 DDR4 DIMMs with 24TB max memory, supports up to 12 slots for Intel® OptaneTM persistent memory DCPMM (6.1TB) with max capacity of 7.68TB per server, with up to 48 2.5-inch SAS/SATA (HDD/SDD) or Express Flash NVMe PCIe SSD drives.
Product Positioning
Target Customers
All PowerEdge MX customers, plus…
• Large to medium data centers.
• OpEx challenged customers looking to maximize energy and space savings.
• Ideal for virtualization and as a foundation for collaborative and software-defined workloads.
Opportunities
Customers that require maximum flexibility in their on-premises data centers. IT organizations that need:
• Large memory footprint, highly scalable I/O capacity, rich set of storage options.
• To deploy projects in an incremental fashion.
• A workload centric approach to resource allocation.
Customer Challenges / Pain Points
