Dell PowerEdge C5000 Specifications

HYPERSCALE-INSPIRED DESIGN

PowerEdge C5000 Chassis

The 3U shared infrastructure PowerEdge™ C5000 chassis features maximized density to help
save space and lower costs

Density done right

The PowerEdge C5000 3U form factor chassis
builds on your requirements to do more with
less by capturing all-important power-saving
features in a highly dense architecture to help you
increase the revenue per square foot in your data
center.

Giving you 4x the density with 75% less to cool,
the PowerEdge C5000 chassis utilizes a shared

infrastructure that is aordable and ecient so
you can oer more compute power, producing

one of the most dense hyperscale server
chassis available today. In addition to the 92%

ecient hot-plug redundant power supplies, the

PowerEdge C5000 chassis has fewer and more

ecient fans, using 1/6th the amount of fans than
a traditional 1U.

Simplied serviceability

The PowerEdge C5000 chassis is easily
serviceable, containing hot-swap power supplies,
and server nodes for increased availability.

Microservers

PowerEdge C5125 or C5220 microservers are

showcased in the PowerEdge C5000 3U chassis.

The PowerEdge C5125 microservers, based on

the AMD® Phenom™ II and Athlon™ II series
processor, meets the demanding needs of
dedicated and Web 2.0 customers by providing up

to 12 independent 1-socket server nodes that can

be ordered with as few as 4 nodes to allow you to
grow as your customer demand expands.

The PowerEdge C5220 microservers are powered

by Intel’s® Xeon™ E3-1200 series processors.

The PowerEdge C5220 microserver was

developed for the demands of dedicated and
virtual hosting, CDN, and Web 2.0 applications
with feature rich requirements.

and maintenance services can help accelerate your
IT initiatives and grow your business. Dell services
can be tailored to complement how you manage
your environment. Options include, but are not
limited to, infrastructure consulting services to help

The PowerEdge C5000 chassis is part of Dell’s new hyperscale-inspired PowerEdge C line designed to maximize
compute power and minimize space and energy usage to lower operational costs. Developed to have the right
combination of what you need and nothing more.
The C5000 chassis encloses microservers that are designed for hosting, Web 2.0, data analytics, and cloud build­ing environments. They are best for rack deployments, large homogenous cloud/cluster application environ­ments where the software stack provides primary platform availability and resiliency.
