DELL VXRail E560 10B 2x Xeon Gold 6150 256GB DDR4 8x 1.2TB SAS

Purpose-built virtualization server

The Dell VXRail E560 10B is a 1U rackmount system designed for virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors deliver 36 cores and 72 threads at 2.70GHz base frequency. 256GB of DDR4 ECC Registered memory supports multiple virtual machines and data-heavy workloads. Eight 1.2TB 10K RPM SAS drives provide hot-swap storage capacity for operating systems, applications and business data.

Compatibility checks

Verify that your rack provides a standard 1U slot and adequate airflow for a 60 weight unit. Confirm the power infrastructure supplies the connectors required by dual-processor Xeon LGA3647 platforms. Ensure your network switches support the dual 10GbE X540 and dual 1GbE I350 interfaces for full bandwidth utilization. Check that your management tools can integrate with the PERC H740P RAID controller for monitoring and configuration.

Bundled controller and networking impact

The included PERC H740P RAID controller manages the eight SAS drives with hardware RAID acceleration, simplifying array creation and ongoing maintenance. Dual 10GbE X540 ports enable high-throughput east-west traffic between cluster nodes or storage tiers. Dual 1GbE I350 ports handle management and lower-bandwidth services without consuming 10GbE capacity. Eight populated 2.5-inch bays leave two additional bays available for future storage expansion.
