3U chassis with shared infrastructure for up to 12 microservers
Maximise data centre floor space with the 3U PowerEdge™ C5000 chassis. Shared infrastructure for up to 12 PowerEdge™ C microservers enhances server density and helps lower power and cooling costs.
Maximised density. Slide up to 12 independent server nodes into a 3U chassis.
Shared infrastructure. Help reduce cooling costs and increase power efficiency with shared fans and power supplies.
Simplified serviceability. Maximise uptime with hot-swappable server nodes and power supplies, with cold-aisle access to all servers.
Pack more punch into your current data center space. The PowerEdge C5000 3U chassis can give you up to 4x the server density as three traditional 1U servers in the same rack space.
PowerEdge C5000 chassis advantage
Enjoy the benefits of highly effective cooling, efficient power supplies and easy servicing in addition to the tremendous server-density advantages.
Hot-swap power supplies
Dual 1400W redundant hot-swap power supplies are up to 92+% efficient for greater performance per watt than traditional 1U servers.
Proficient cooling
Shared resources help ensure efficient cooling with fewer fans for more servers.
Cold-aisle serviceability
Power supplies, interconnects and microservers are all cold-aisle accessible for quick and easy servicing in a high-efficiency hot-aisle containment floor plan.
PowerEdge C microservers
The C5000 chassis is specifically designed to house PowerEdge™ C microservers (up to 12), enabling you to take advantage of Dell™ microserver technology. Mounted on small sleds, the hot-swappable servers slide vertically into the front of the chassis.
PowerEdge™ C5220: Powered by an Intel® Xeon™ processor with up to 32GB of memory, the high-density, feature-rich C5220 microservers can be mounted in the C5000 chassis. It's an ideal solution for dedicated and virtual hosting, Web 2.0 or content delivery network (CDN) applications.
PowerEdge™ C5125: Powered by the AMD Phenom™ II or Athlon™ II processor with up to 16GB of memory, the highly serviceable, hyper-efficient C5125 microservers can be mounted in the C5000 chassis. It's an ideal solution where enhanced performance per watt per dollar is required in dedicated hosting and Web 2.0 applications.
