Dell PowerEdge FX portfolio expanded for further infrastructure flexibility
The Dell PowerEdge FX portfolio will include three new modules to offer enterprises even more options for changing application demands. This gives customers even more ability to add or swap IT building blocks – into a 2U converged infrastructure chassis.
