Innovate at scale with challenging and emerging workloads.

The PowerEdge MX840c is a powerhouse of flexibility and performance, offering a robust four-socket double-width compute sled driven by up to four 28-core 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. With its formidable computing capability, this server is designed to tackle the most demanding workloads with ease. The PowerEdge MX7000 chassis accommodates up to four MX840c servers, providing ample scalability to meet evolving business needs.

Equipped with a spacious memory footprint, the MX840c supports up to 48 DDR4 DIMM slots, offering exceptional memory configuration capacities of up to 3TB (RDIMM) or 6.1TB (LRDIMM). Additionally, organizations can leverage up to 192GB NVDIMM for large in-memory applications, ensuring optimal performance for data-intensive tasks. The server also supports up to 24 slots for Intel® OptaneTM DC persistent memory PMem, enabling a maximum total capacity of 15.36TB per server. With options for M.2 Boot Optimized Storage Solution (BOSS) or Internal Dual microSD Module (IDSDM), organizations can streamline operating system and data storage management. Moreover, the MX840c offers the flexibility of Express Flash NVMe PCIe SSDs for high-performance direct-attached storage requirements.

Simplifying management and enhancing automation, the MX840c features embedded, agent-free integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) 9 for streamlined server systems management. Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise – Modular Edition (OME-Modular) provides comprehensive in-system management within the PowerEdge MX7000 server chassis.

With the unified web/RESTful API interface of OME-Modular, organizations can effortlessly manage the entire PowerEdge MX environment, including compute, storage, and networking components. This facilitates seamless deployment, monitoring, management, configuration, updating, troubleshooting, and remediation of Dell EMC servers from any location, regardless of operating system or hypervisor presence or state. Additionally, the enhanced iDRAC9 processor delivers up to four times better performance compared to the prior generation, ensuring swift systems management and optimization.

Safeguarding Your Data Assets.

Every PowerEdge server integrates a cyber-resilient architecture, prioritizing security throughout its lifecycle from inception to decommissioning. This commitment to security is evident in the incorporation of features designed to safeguard data and systems. Platform enablement includes AMD Secure Memory Encryption (SME) and Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV), bolstering security by ensuring data integrity and confidentiality at the platform level. Additionally, workloads operate on a secure platform anchored by cryptographically trusted booting and a silicon root of trust, establishing a robust security foundation from the outset.

Moreover, server firmware safety is ensured through digitally signed firmware packages, mitigating the risk of unauthorized modifications or tampering and preserving the integrity of the server infrastructure. Advanced security mechanisms, such as drift detection and system lockdown, empower the server to promptly detect and remediate unauthorized or malicious changes, enhancing resilience against potential threats. Furthermore, the server's capability to securely and swiftly wipe all data from storage media, including hard drives, SSDs, and system memory, with System Erase ensures data protection and privacy, particularly during server decommissioning or repurposing.

By integrating these comprehensive security measures, Dell demonstrates its unwavering commitment to providing organizations with robust, resilient, and secure server solutions capable of withstanding the challenges of the modern digital landscape. This approach not only safeguards critical data and systems but also instills confidence in users, enabling them to leverage the full potential of their IT infrastructure without compromising on security.
