Redefine office IT.
PowerEdge VRTX modular infrastructure platform integrates servers, storage, networking and management together in a single compact chassis.

Enhanced capabilities for PowerEdge VRTX
As the first integrated IT solution designed specifically for remote-office and small-office environments, the award-winning* PowerEdge VRTX offers a “data center under your desk” with office-optimized dimensions, acoustics, simplified management and security.

Key features introduce even more functionality with enhanced versatility and improved efficiency, including:

Additional server node choices: Drive Tier 1, back-end workloads with 4-socket, full height M830 server nodes or 2-socket half height M640 featuring advanced memory architecture, and low-latency flash storage.
Next-level data protection inside the chassis: Optional redundant PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) provides high-availability RAID controller failover inside the chassis. Now available with new server security features like System Lockdown and Secure Erase* as well as FIPS-certified self-encrypting drives (SED) to avoid data loss and physical security breaches.
Enhanced system management: Continued feature set parity between the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) in the data center and the CMC on VRTX ensures system management consistency and simplicity.
Expanded resources for virtualization: Support for optional general-purpose computing on graphics processor units (GPGPU) enables virtual desktop infrastructure in remote office/branch office environments. Combine VRTX with optional software like Dell UnityVSA and VMware vSphere to create a shared virtual storage pool.
JBOD expansion: chassis storage can be expanded even further by connecting up to four MD1200 (12 x 3.5″ drive) or MD1220 (24 x 2.5″ drive) disk arrays in redundant or capacity based configurations.

Rapidly deploy VRTX to consolidate and manage business applications in up to four server nodes with shared storage and integrated networking. Ideal for remote offices and branch offices of large enterprises and organizations as well as small- and medium-business offices, it offers:

Huge internal capacities that support extensive growth
Office-level acoustics, quieter than a hallway conversation so it can operate non-disruptively, even in quiet office environments
Fresh Air validated configurations that allow you to avoid the need for special cooling or worry when you turn off the AC during non-business hours
Standard power requirements found in most offices(1100W or 1600W AC power supply), which allows users to avoid the cost of rewiring for high-line power (typically required for servers and storage)
Front-access KVM, USB, LCD display and optional DVD-RW

Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)

PowerEdge VRTX delivers 26 percent lower TCO over five years compared to using a local configuration of tower servers and external storage, saving you over $21,300 with a payback period of just 33 months.* In addition, if you are instead storing data and running applications in the cloud, VRTX can bring you a 63.9 percent lower TCO over five years, with a payback period of just 13 months and total savings of $172,000.* With advanced security features, the VRTX is an ideal alternative to a cloud solution.

No compromise on performance
Employing the latest PowerEdge technology and high-availability features, VRTX can help you gain fast application response times, run multiple applications that need performance or low latency, power through peak processing periods and scale for future business growth.

Performance and availability features include:

Up to four hot-plug PowerEdge server nodes with flexible configurations that can mix and match 4-socket M830 and 2-socket M640 or M630 blade options to meet your specific needs
Support for future-generation PowerEdge M-Series blades
Dual SD cards for redundant hypervisors
Hot-plug and swappable HDDs with NVMe options via the M640
Many RAID options tailored to specific needs, including optional PERC for RAID controller failover inside the chassis
Optional hot-plug and swappable power supply units and fans

Versatile shared storage

All server nodes have access to the low-latency internal shared storage, which is essential for clustering and virtualization, including vMotion. This also helps enable efficient processing through peak periods and can improve server-use flexibility.

VRTX allows:

Each server node to see the storage as its own singular storage pool
Assigning virtual disks to single server nodes or across server nodes
Live migration of virtual machines within the VRTX chassis without the expense of cabling, powering and managing a SAN
Choice of up to 12 x 3.5" HDDs/SSDs (120TB* max.) to scale for capacity or up to 25 x 2.5" HDDs/SSDs (96TB max.) to scale for performance with optional 2.5” self-encrypting drives (SED)
External JBOD connectivity with up to four MD1200 (12 x 3.5″ drive) or MD1220 (24 x 2.5″ drive) disk arrays in redundant or capacity based configurations


Simple, efficient and versatile systems management
Full-functioned unified system management takes much of the time and effort out of systems administration and control. Deploy, monitor, update and maintain through a unified browser-based console that covers servers, storage and networking. Dell OpenManage together with Chassis Management Controller (CMC) and Geographic View for VRTX enables you to keep an eye on everything in your VRTX platforms, anywhere on your network, allowing:

Consistency with CMC in the data center
Deploying new systems locally or across a network
Support for more than 1,000 devices with the ability to launch an application that takes you into the CMC
Rapid, at-a-glance, map-based identification of remote system location and health status via color-coded icons
Installing updates to firmware, BIOS settings and drivers
Performing systems maintenance tasks and problem remediation
Updating up to 36 servers in nine VRTX platforms simultaneously with only a single system reboot

Seamless management integration
VRTX systems management is integrated with major third-party management tools, protecting your installed investments and allowing you to use what you already know. This allows you to:

Avoid the time and cost of training on new management solutions
Deepen and extend management capabilities beyond the chassis to, for example, hypervisor management

Install VRTX into infrastructures already managed by OpenManage or third-party management solutions, such as Microsoft® System Center and VMware vCenter™
