FC4300 pages

PowerEdge FC430 server, the Dell PowerEdge FC430 offers
A quarter-width, two-socket FX architecture
the ultimate in shared infrastructure density with the option for smaller, physically
discrete servers.

With the perfect balance of performance, memory
and high-speed I/O to rapidly deliver resources
to applications, the FC430 is ideal for mainstream
enterprise workloads, including midsized
virtualization and database environments, and is
an excellent choice for distributed environments
needing higher levels of reliability. With the ability
to host applications in smaller, physically discrete
servers, the FC430 can help minimize the scope of
potential system failures.

Optimize for workload
The FC430 offers choices:
•t Two 14-core Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 processors,
or a single-socket Intel Xeon E5-1600 v3
alternative
•t Two 1.8-inch drives or one 1.8-inch drive with
a front-access mezzanine port Mellanox®
InfiniBand® connection.
All configurations have up to 8 DIMMs of memory
and a dual port 10Gb LOM for networking. Each
FC430 has access to one PCIe 3.0 expansion slot.

Implement higher reliability
One of the FC430’s distinguishing features is its
quarter-width size. It can run multiple applications as
a virtualized environment, or house the operations
of different clients as a dedicated host. Either way,
it offers the benefit of higher reliability through
physical separation; one server failing does not
disrupt the operation of virtual machines or clients
running on other servers.

Right-size your IT
React at the speed of business with the highly flexible
FX architecture. Add resources to the chassis at the
single server level or add one or more fully loaded
2U enclosures. An FX2 chassis fully loaded with eight
FC430s has 224 cores and 48 DIMMs of memory
available for processing — all in a dense 2U space.

Innovative management with
intelligent automation
The Dell OpenManage systems management portfolio simplifies and automates server life-cycle
management — making IT operations more
efficient and Dell servers the most productive, reliable
and cost effective. Dell’s agent-free integrated Dell
Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle
Controller makes server deployment, configuration
and updates automated and efficient. Using Chassis
Management Controller (CMC), an embedded
component that is part of every FX2 chassis, you’ll
have the choice of managing FC430 server nodes
individually or collectively via a browser-based
interface.
OpenManage Essentials provides enterprise-level
monitoring and control of Dell and third-party data
center hardware and works with OpenManage
Mobile to provide similar information on smart
phones. OpenManage Essentials now also delivers
server configuration management capabilities that
automate bare-metal server and OS deployments,
replication of configurations, and ensures ongoing
compliance with set system configurations.
