DELL PowerEdge R760 2U Rack Server 16 Bay 2x Xeon Gold 5415+ 2.9GHz 1TB DDR5 H965i 5720 iDRAC9 2x 1400W

Dell PowerEdge R760 2U 16-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5415+ processors running at 2.9GHz with 4.1GHz turbo across eight cores each. It ships with 1TB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across 32 slots and a Dell PERC H965i RAID controller with 8GB NV cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, a Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE OCP 3.0 card, iDRAC9 Datacenter, and dual 1400W platinum power supplies complete the configuration.

Ideal for virtualisation, databases.

This server suits organisations deploying VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, Microsoft SQL Server, or high-performance computing clusters that need dense 2.5-inch storage in a 2U form factor. The dual-socket design and DDR5 memory provide strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualised workloads. Buyers requiring GPU acceleration, 10GbE or higher networking, or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms. Systems needing 3.5-inch drive bays or single-socket economics are also better served elsewhere.

PERC H965i RAID controller with 8GB NV cache

The Dell PERC H965i front-mounted RAID controller is the decisive storage component. It supports SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives across all sixteen bays with hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 backed by 8GB of non-volatile cache. This determines whether the server can deliver the IOPS and data protection your workload demands without an additional controller purchase.
