Overview

The Dell PowerEdge XR4520C is a 2U high-density server adding GPU, NIC, and extra storage capability to the XR4000 chassis family.

The Dell PowerEdge XR4000 is a high-performance server designed and optimized for edge use cases like

  • Virtualization Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
  • Virtual Machines
  • Video surveillance
  • vSAN/VM
  • Point of sale
  • Data communication

Dell Technology’s shortest-depth edge server

The new Dell PowerEdge XR4000 is a 2U server with an innovative sled-based design. Dell’s shortest depth server to date is purpose-built for the edge; delivering high-performance compute and ultimate deployment flexibility in two new chassis form factors.Process and analyze data at the point of capture. Designed for workloads at the Edge including virtual desktop integration (VDI), Machine vision, Video surveillance, vSAN/VM, Point-of-sale and Data compression.

New Nano Server

  • Create a self-contained 2-node VM cluster in a footprint not much larger than a shoebox with dell Nano Witness Server included in-chassis
  • Rackable chassis supports up to 4 separate server nodes in a single 2U chassis
  • Storage up to 12 x M.2 NVMe for total capacity of 45Tb per sled

Multi-node design

  • Uses Intel Xeon D with up to 20 cores per node for ultimate edge performance
  • Reduce service complexity with a sled-based chassis that allows for a ‘pull-replace-repair’ model
  • Scale when you need it by adding sleds as your operation demands grow

Purpose-built for the Edge

  • Can operate in temp ranges from -5C to 55C and is rated to MIL 810H and NEBS Level 3
  • Gain ultimate deployment flexibility with optional ‘stackable’ and ‘rackable’ chassis with options to mount on walls or place on shelves when space is at a premium
  • Withstand dusty and harsh environments while providing extra physical security with an optional lockable intelligent filtered bezel

Cyber Resilient Architecture for Zero Trust IT environment & operations

Security is integrated into every phase of the PowerEdge lifecycle, including protected supply chain and factory-to-site integrity assurance. Silicon-based root of trust anchors end-to-end boot resilience while Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls ensure trusted operations.
