Mainstreaming the C6100 & C6105CLOUD AND CLUSTER OPTIMIZED, SHARED INFRASTRUCTURE SERVER
High Compute Density• Up to 4 independent 2-socket
server nodes in a 2U chassis• Xeon 5600 ‘Westmere’ or
Opteron 4000 ‘Lisbon’ (<6W per core)
• 12 x DDR3 slots; 1 x16, 1 x8 PCIe G2
• Higher density than modular designs – double density of traditional 1U
High Storage Density• Up to 6 x 2.5” or 3 x 3.5” HDD’s
per node. • High per server spindle count in
shared chassis
Highly Serviceable• Each independent server node
is hot-serviceable• Redundant 1100W power
supplies (x2), 470W & 750W options

Why PowerEdge C1100 & C2100?
Core Performance• Dual Xeon 5600 ‘Westmere’• High performance multicore design;
low power consumption options
Memory Footprint• 144GB with 8GB DIMMs – 18 slot• DIMM flexibility – More slots means
lower cost at high memory configurations
Spindle Flexibility• 4 x 3.5” or 10 x 2.5” HDD (C1100) • 12 x 3.5” HDD (C2100)• Greatest amount of drive flexibility –
total size and drive size options
Virtualization Performance• 2 x GbE Intel 82576 (Kawela)• VMDq - Virtualization support • Dedicated mgt port – relieves
congestion

Fortuna to Viking SHARED INFRASTRUCTURE FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
AND DENSITY
• 4x density of traditional 1U servers• 60% more dense than blades• 30% less cost to cool than comparable
1U servers• Shared infrastructure consumes less
floor space, power and cooling• 92% efficient hot-plug redundant power
