This new server is the solution to work in virtualized environments, as well as for scientific applications that require large amounts of computation.
Moreover, the configuration dedicated server provides all the external chassis with multiple GPUs, and in this case, the server can be used for rendering computer graphics.

C6145 supports up to 1 TB of RAM, and is based on the design of the PowerEdge Rack S6105, which supports up to 48 processor cores. These machines are compatible at the level of slots, so users can use the same hardware stuffing.
External chassis for server C410X with a set of PCI-Express slot can connect to the server and to carry up to 32 GPUs. Server delivers the systems with Novell Suse, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5, Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows HPC Server 2008. The cost of the machine starts with the mark of 18,000 dollars.
