DELL PowerEdge R760 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Platinum 8468 48 Core 512GB DDR5

Dual 48-Core Xeon Platinum 8468 Server

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8468 processors, each delivering 48 cores at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz with a 3.8 GHz turbo boost. It ships with 512 GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory populated across sixteen 32 GB modules. The system includes a PERC H965i RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache, eight 2.5-inch drive trays, a quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 network card, iDRAC9 Datacenter remote management, and dual 1400 W platinum power supplies.

Virtualisation and Database Clusters

This configuration suits organisations running dense virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases, or high-performance computing workloads that benefit from 96 total cores and half a terabyte of fast DDR5 memory. The sixteen-bay chassis and NVMe-capable RAID controller provide local storage flexibility for software-defined storage or caching tiers. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, Fibre Channel connectivity, or single-threaded frequency above 3.8 GHz should evaluate alternative platforms.

Sixteen-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis with NVMe RAID

The defining specification is the 2U enclosure that supports sixteen hot-swap 2.5-inch drives alongside a PERC H965i controller certified for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS, SATA and NVMe media. This density and controller combination determines whether the server can meet a given storage performance and capacity target without external arrays.
