POWEREDGE MODULAR INFRASTRUCTURE

Dell EMC PowerEdge Modular Infrastructure is built from the ground up for the software defined data center. The PowerEdge platform is designed to support the right balance of density, capacity, and flexibility to
meet the needs of both traditional and cloud-native workloads. The Dell EMC kinetic infrastructure extends the benefits of modular design benefits to individual storage devices with built-in future-proofing to easily
support configurations down to memory-centric devices. Shared pools of disaggregated compute, storage and fabric resources can be dynamically configured, and reconfigured, for workload and infrastructure
optimization. Reduce over provisioning and stranded assets, and boost performance and efficiency by creating on-the-fly capacity. And the OpenManage portfolio delivers innovative systems management that
makes you more efficient and your infrastructure more productive and reliable. Choose PowerEdge Modular Infrastructure for worry free IT that is secure and scalable - without compromises.

Dell EMC offers a range of modular Dell EMC PowerEdge servers and OpenManage systems
solutions to meet the needs of management solutions deliver intelligent automation directly
any environment or workload. into your data center.

PowerEdge MX PowerEdge FX PowerEdge VRTX Embedded Management

Dell EMC PowerEdge servers feature powerful,
built-in embedded management for modular infrastructures.
Embedded management enables IT Pros to effortlessly deploy,
update, manage and monitor everything within the chassis –
servers, storage and switches. These management solutions work
seamlessly with the agent-free integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller (iDRAC) and Lifecycle Controller (LC).
