DELL VXRail E560 10B Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5122 64GB DDR4 H740P 10x 2.5" Trays

Dell VXRail E560 10B rack server

The Dell VXRail E560 10B is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, and application hosting. It arrives new with two Intel Xeon Gold 5122 processors installed, each running at 3.60GHz with 4 cores for a total of 8 cores. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H740P RAID controller. Ten 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays with trays are provided, while storage drives are sold separately. Networking uses dual 10GbE and dual 1GbE ports.

Practical limits of the LGA3647 platform

The server uses the LGA3647 socket and supports a maximum of two processors, which are already populated in this configuration. Memory capacity can scale up to 3TB of DDR4 across available DIMM slots, allowing significant headroom for virtualization or database growth. Expansion is limited to the ten front-accessible 2.5-inch bays and internal RAID controller connectivity. No operating system is included, so deployment requires separate licensing and installation.

The per-core clock speed decides fit

The Xeon Gold 5122 runs at 3.60GHz with only 4 cores per CPU, favouring high single-thread performance over core count. This makes the server suitable for workloads such as web hosting, DNS, or light virtualization where clock speed matters more than parallel throughput. Buyers who need many concurrent threads or higher core density should consider alternative configurations. The 64GB base memory supports moderate consolidation but large-scale deployments will require additional DDR4 modules.
