Innovative Modular Design
The PowerEdge FX2 chassis, the foundation of the FX architecture. The FX2 is a 2U platform that combines the density and efficiencies of blades with the simplicity and cost advantages of rack-based systems. The FX2 hosts flexible blocks of server and storage resources while providing outstanding efficiencies through shared power, networking, I/O and management within the chassis itself.
Although each server block has some local storage, the FX architecture allows servers to access multiple types of storage, such as a centralized storage area network (SAN) or direct-attached storage (DAS) in FX storage blocks. Software-defined storage environments including VMware vSAN can readily benefit with the FX2 high-density storage elements.
