DELL PowerEdge R750 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4316 2.3GHz 20-Core 64GB DDR4 12x 8TB SATA HBA355i 1400W

Dell PowerEdge R750 Dual Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server built for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 20 cores each. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. Twelve 8 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives provide high-capacity storage in a 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database servers or analytics platforms that need many cores and large local storage. The PERC HBA355i controller operates in pass-through mode without RAID, so buyers who require hardware RAID protection should look at a different controller option. The dual 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 network card supports high-throughput east-west traffic. Teams needing GPU acceleration or NVMe-all-flash arrays will find the current spec does not meet those needs.

12-Bay 3.5-Inch Chassis with HBA355i Pass-Through

The 2U form factor holds twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 8 TB SATA drives, delivering raw capacity for sequential workloads. The HBA355i SAS 12 Gb/s host bus adapter presents drives directly to the operating system without RAID abstraction. Two 1400 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote management including virtual console and lifecycle automation.
