11 Deep Learning using iAbra stack on Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers with Intel technology
3 Why the PowerEdge C6420 server?
3.1 Overview C6420
The PowerEdge C6420 optimizes compute, processors, memory and large volume local storage for an IT
services platform that can be efficiently and predictably scaled, while drastically reducing complexity. With
up to 4 independent hot-swappable 2-socket servers in a very dense 2U chassis, servers can be easily
repurposed as workloads change. Numerous options for compute, storage, connectivity and chassis
offerings provide flexibility to configure servers for your specific workloads.
● High Performance Computing (HPC)
