Overview

The next-generation compute-dense Dell PowerEdge C6620 is a multi-node (2U4N) server designed for compute-intensive workloads. Right-sized low-latency storage makes it ideal for IOPS-heavy workloads. With improved Dell DLC (direct liquid cooling) support and expanded air-cooling coverage, thermal efficiencies can help lower energy and ownership costs while helping scale your business.

The Dell PowerEdge C6620 is a dense multi-node server delivering peak performance and excellent TCO. Ideal for:

  • High-Performance Computing (HPC)
  • Web Tech

Reduce design cycles and innovate faster

Delivering breakthrough innovation, the PowerEdge C6620 enables high-performance and scale-out computing with performance and density. Requiring only half the footprint of 1U rack servers, take advantage of lowered TCO with half the infrastructure.

Max ROI

  • Use up to two Next Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 56 cores per processor and up to 8,960 cores in a standard 42U rack (compared to 4,480 cores in a 1U rack).
  • Enables DDR5 at 4800 MT/s memory and PCIe Gen5 with double the speed of previous Gen4 for faster access and transport of data, optimizing application output.
  • Optional liquid cooling is available to efficiently cool high-performance CPUs while reducing energy costs and carbon footprint.

Expect increased expandability by storing more data in one server, saving space in your datacenter

  • Support lower latency higher performance NVMe SSD in a hardware RAID solution helps maximize compute performance.
  • Faster, low-latency storage with Gen5 E3.S.

Experience more container density to support the most demanding applications

The Dell PowerEdge C6620 server is designed with a cyber-resilient architecture, integrating security deeply into every phase in the lifecycle, from design to retirement.

  • Deploy more containers per physical host using increased core count and higher memory footprint than previous generations.
  • Reduce noisy neighbor problems by physically separating containers using multi-node infrastructure.

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.

Increase efficiency and accelerate operations with an autonomous infrastructure

The Dell OpenManage systems management portfolio delivers a secure, efficient, and comprehensive solution for PowerEdge servers. Simplify, automate and centralize one-to-many management with the OpenManage Enterprise console and iDRAC.

Sustainability

From recycled materials in our products and packaging, to thoughtful, innovative options for energy efficiency, the PowerEdge portfolio is designed to make, deliver, and recycle products to help reduce the carbon footprint and lower your operation costs. We even make it easy to retire legacy systems responsibly with Dell Technologies Services.
