Dell XC Series 14G Spec Sheet

The Dell EMC XC Series of hyperconverged infrastructure appliances combines Dell PowerEdge server hardware with Nutanix software to deliver consolidated compute and storage in a single platform. Available in the XC640-4, XC640-10, XC740xd-12, XC740xd-24, XC940-24, and XC6420-6 configurations, these 1U, 2U, and 3U appliances are engineered to eliminate the complexity of traditional infrastructure by pooling resources into a fault-tolerant architecture. Each Dell EMC XC Series node supports dual Intel Xeon Gold, Platinum, or Silver processors, with memory capacity scaling from 64 gigabytes up to 6 terabytes using RDIMMs and LRDIMMs. The platform enables data center teams to scale performance linearly by adding nodes one at a time, offering pay-as-you-grow flexibility for expanding virtual environments.

Storage and connectivity options within the Dell EMC XC Series appliances are highly configurable to match specific workload demands. Nodes utilize Dell EMC SAS HBA330 controllers, low profile PCIe boot storage, and dedicated PCIe expansion slots for optional GPU modules. Disk arrays support SAS or SATA solid-state drives ranging from 480 gigabytes to 3.8 terabytes, with NVMe options reaching 3.2 terabytes, alongside hard disk drives up to 10 terabytes. All-flash configurations are available, and self-encrypting drives enhance data protection at rest. Networking flexibility is provided through Intel X550, Intel X710, or Mellanox ConnectX adapters offering speeds from 1 gigabit to 100 gigabit per second. The appliances ship with factory-installed hypervisors including VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Nutanix AHV, while Nutanix Prism Central provides a centralized graphical interface for cluster management, system-wide monitoring, and REST API integration with third-party cloud platforms.

Designed to meet rigorous enterprise requirements, the Dell EMC XC Series incorporates a cyber-resilient security framework that spans the hardware lifecycle. Buyers benefit from cryptographically signed firmware, Secure Boot, server lockdown capabilities, and instant system erase functions, all backed by a secure component supply chain. These features ensure reliable operations for virtual desktop infrastructure, private cloud deployments, SQL and Oracle database workloads, data warehouses, and big data analytics. Organizations seeking to reduce IT overhead and accelerate deployment can implement the XC Series in under thirty minutes without sacrificing performance or scalability. Supported by Dell EMC ProDeploy installation services and round-the-clock ProSupport maintenance, the platform delivers predictable expansion and streamlined administration for modern data center infrastructure needs.
