Dell PowerEdge MX7000 Chassis
Rack-based modular chassis for PowerEdge MX kinetic infrastructure
Overview
The Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000, uniquely designed to support new processor technologies, new storage types and fabric advances well into the future, provides the foundation for software-defined environments. Tackle workload with capable compute, storage, and networking components. Designed to handle flexible ratio assignments for changing demands.
Dynamically scale and respond to changing needs
PowerEdge MX7000 hosts elastic compute and storage resources connected by a smart I/O fabric. Featuring an innovative design to accommodate streamlined transition to emerging technologies, the chassis delivers extensibility for evolving application requirements.
- Flexible 7U modular enclosure, with eight front-accessible slots, holds 2-socket single-width or 4-socket double-width compute sled and 12Gbps single-width storage sled combinations
- Low latency, cost-efficient 25Gb Ethernet, 12Gb SAS and 32Gb Fibre Channel I/O options
- Three I/O networking fabrics, two general purpose and one storage specific, each with redundant modules
- Scalable Fabric Architecture for multi-chassis networking up to 10 chassis
- Assured support for multiple future generations of server processor microarchitectures
Increase team effectiveness and accelerate operations
PowerEdge MX7000 includes comprehensive embedded systems management, Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise – Modular Edition, which delivers key functions of OpenManage Enterprise management within the chassis for the entire environment – a single management point for compute, storage and networking. Deploy and monitor multiple chassis at once, roll-out changes and templates faster and integrate with third-party tools.
- Operational template methodology and comprehensive OpenManage RESTful API based on Redfish
- Flexible at-the-box Touchscreen LCD, wireless and traditional crash cart management options
- Remote server access with OpenManage Mobile application and the new Quick Sync 2 feature
- As with every PowerEdge server, embedded agent-free Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC)9 with Lifecycle Controller (LC)
Protect infrastructure and deliver investment protection
PowerEdge MX infrastructure embeds hardware and system-level security features to protect with a deep layer of defense and quick detection in order to recover, if breached. A Cyber Resilient Architecture extends across every aspect, including embedded firmware, data stored, the operating system, peripheral devices and management operations within.
- Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) model where security is an integral part of overall infrastructure design process and encompasses needs through the entire lifecycle
- Robust iDRAC APIs, such as WS-Man or RESTful API (compliant with Redfish standards) for automated deployment of hardware security features
- Aligns with key industry standards for cryptography and security such as NIST SP800-147B and UEFI Secure Boot
Features
Liberate IT resources to achieve optimal utilization, productivity and efficiency
As dynamic and innovative as your business, PowerEdge MX kinetic infrastructure bridges traditional and software-defined data centers with unequal flexibility and agility. At the foundation, PowerEdge MX7000 chassis hosts disaggregated blocks of server and storage to create consumable resources on-demand. Shared power, cooling, networking, I/O and in-chassis management provides outstanding efficiencies.
- 7U modular enclosure with eight slots holds 2S single or four 4S double-width compute sleds and 12Gbs single-width storage sleds
- 25Gb Ethernet, 12Gb SAS and 32Gb Fibre Channel I/O options
- Three I/O networking fabrics, two general purpose and one storage specific, each with redundant modules
- Multi-chassis networking up to 10 chassis
- Single management point for compute, storage and networking
- High-speed technology connections, now and into the future, with no midplane upgrade
- At least three server processor microarchitecture generation support assurance
Dynamically scale and respond with kinetic infrastructure
Embedded Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise – Modular Edition delivers the key abilities of OpenMange Enterprise systems management within the PowerEdge MX chassis. A unified simple interface manages compute, storage and fabric, reducing costs and the learning curve and consolidates multiple tools. Redundant management modules ensure highest availability.
- Automatic expansion from one to multiple chassis; scale management to thousands of PowerEdge MX and rack servers with OpenManage Enterprise
- Flexible, at-the-box management front control panel options include Quick Sync 2 (wireless), touchscreen LCD and traditional crash cart
- Comprehensive RESTful API helps automate multiple tasks and integrates to third-party tools
- Seamlessly integrates with integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9) and Lifecycle Controller (LC)
Increase effectiveness and accelerate operations with unified automation
Reduce the time and effort to manage IT environments by automating everyday tasks.
- Deploy multiple servers with iDRAC Group Manager, a built-in “one to many console”
- Remotely access your servers anywhere, anytime from your mobile device with OpenManage Mobile (with OpenManage Enterprise)
- Resolve issues with up to 72% less IT effort using automated proactive and predictive technology from ProSupport Plus and SupportAssist.
Protect infrastructure and investment with responsive design
Reduce the risk of infrastructure investment and help make new innovations more easily available with PowerEdge MX7000 future-forward architecture. Designed to maximize longevity and minimize disruptive technology changes support across both generational and architectural transitions is provided.
- Multi-generational assurance with support for at least three server processor microarchitecture generations
- Nearly zero throughput limitations, providing high-speed technology connections, and well into the future, with no midplane upgrade
- Industry-leading thermal architecture and mechanical design and control algorithms support dense configurations and future compatibility
