Dell VRTX 5U rack server with 12x 12TB SAS storage

The Dell VRTX is a 5U rack-mounted server system delivering converged infrastructure in a single chassis. It houses two PowerEdge M630 blade servers, each equipped with an Intel E5-2670v3 2.3GHz 12-core processor and 256GB of DDR4 memory. The shared storage array provides twelve 12TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC S130 controller.

Suited for organisations consolidating compute

This platform suits organisations consolidating virtualised workloads onto a unified compute and storage platform with redundant 1600W power supplies and iDRAC8 Express remote management. The eight flexible PCIe slots (three full-height, five low-profile) support diverse I/O expansion. Buyers requiring 10 Gb or faster integrated switching, GPU acceleration, or blade counts beyond two M630 nodes should evaluate alternative platforms.

Single PERC S130 RAID controller governs all

The storage subsystem relies on a single PERC S130 RAID controller to manage the full complement of twelve 3.5-inch SAS drives. This controller determines the RAID levels available and the overall storage performance envelope for both blades. Verify that the S130 feature set matches your redundancy and throughput requirements before committing to this configuration.
