PowerEdge VRTX shared infrastructure platform
check it here: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-vrtx/pd
I usually do not make comment on HW infrastructures or platforms but I have to admit that today, after a chat with my neighbourhood, I fall in love with this one.
When thinking about SMB market and IT we always face a dualism between computational and storage needs and, on the other side, strict budgets and low resources. Low resources also means space, energy, people constrains and so on.
So here we are a small object, that contains all the HW needed for a SMB or a branch, flexible and easy to manage.
Up to 12 x 3.5in NLSAS, SAS, or SAS SSD hot-plug drives or
Up to 25 x 2.5in NLSAS, SAS, or SAS SSD hot-plug drives
An cheap solution that can easily provide 40 TB of space is quite a good start for a small business or a branch office.
Embedded NIC
1GbE internal switch module (standard) with 16 internal 1GbE ports and 8 external ports
Ethernet pass-through module with 8 external ports (optional)
Shared PERC8
Power
Redundant power supply units:
100V-240V auto-sensing redundant power supplies support 2+2 (AC redundancy), and 3+1, 2+1, and 1+1 (power supply redundancy) modes
What you need more 🙂 i would like it in my home
Cooling
VRTX comes standard with 6 hot-pluggable, redundant fan modules and 4 blower modules:
Based on Dell Energy Smart Technologies, VRTX fans and blowers are a breakthrough in power and cooling efficiency The fans and blowers deliver low-power consumption, but also use next-generation fan technologies to ensure the lowest possible amount of fresh air is consumed to cool the enclosure
And, really, it does not make the horrible noise we usually associate to those stuffs, means it can really be a desktop DataCenter 🙂
Chassis Form factors:
Tower or 5U rack enclosure
Tower configuration:
48.4cm (19.1in) H with system feet x 31.0cm (12.2in) W with system feet opened x 73.0cm (28.7in) D
Weight (empty) = 31.7kg (69.7lb)
Weight (maximum) = 74.8kg (164.9lb)
Rack configuration:
21.9cm (8.6in) H x 48.2cm (19.0in) W x 73.0cm (28.7in) D
Weight (empty) = 24.7kg (54.5lb)
Weight (maximum) = 68.7kg (151.5lb)
Server node options
Dell PowerEdge M620 and M520 servers, that can provide enough power for most of smb needs
Rack Support
ReadyRails™ II sliding rails for 4-post racks with square, round, or threaded holes
Price is competitive so I wish this thing a lot of success 🙂
