DELL PowerEdge R650 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4316 2.3GHz 20-core 256GB DDR4 10x 960GB SSD H755 2x 1400W

1U 10-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server fitted with ten 2.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 20 cores and a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory and a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache and battery backup. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy.

Suited for virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration targets dense virtualisation, database workloads and private cloud deployments that need high core counts and fast local storage in a single rack unit. The ten 960 GB SATA SSDs and dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports supply throughput for I/O intensive tasks. Buyers requiring NVMe acceleration or more than 256 GB of memory out of the box should evaluate other configurations.

Dual Xeon Silver 4316 20-core CPUs

The pair of Silver 4316 processors delivers 40 total cores at 2.3 GHz base clock with 3.4 GHz turbo capability. This CPU choice determines the server's peak compute capacity for multi-threaded enterprise applications. The LGA 4189 socket and 3200 MT/s memory controller support future processor upgrades within the platform limits.
