Innovate at scale with challenging and emerging workloads

The Dell EMC PowerEdge C6520, powered by the 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, is the ideal compute-dense server designed to support dynamic compute-at-scale business requirements in a dense form factor. The PowerEdge C6520 maximizes performance per U by supporting 4 dual-socket compute nodes in a 2U chassis with Air and Direct Liquid Cooling options to power the highest-performing processors. It supports 8 memory channels/CPU, up to 16 DDR4 DIMMs @ 3200 MT/s DIMM speed. In addition, to address substantial throughput improvements the PowerEdge C6520 supports PCIe Gen 4 and up to 6 NVMe drives per node. This makes the PowerEdge C6520 an ideal server for hyper scale compute workloads requiring high scalability and high performance such as High-Performance Computing (HPC), high-performance data analytics (HPDA), financial modeling and high-frequency trading(HFT), Web Tech and XaaS Service Providers.
