Dell PowerEdge R760 Rack Server - Options Available

PowerEdge R760 Rack Server Overview

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is the flagship 2U dual-socket rack server powered by 4th and 5th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 120 cores total. Designed as a versatile workhorse for mixed enterprise workloads, the R760 delivers exceptional performance for databases, virtualization, VDI, and business-critical applications while providing extensive storage capacity with support for up to 24 drive bays.

Performance & Scalability

Built on Intel's latest Xeon Scalable platform, the R760 supports dual 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors with up to 60 cores per socket (120 cores total), delivering outstanding parallel processing capabilities. With support for DDR5 memory at speeds up to 5600MT/s across 32 DIMM slots (up to 2TB maximum), the R760 provides the memory bandwidth and capacity necessary for the most demanding enterprise applications.

Advanced thermal management includes SmartFlow air cooling with optimized airflow geometry or optional Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) for sustained high-performance operation under continuous load. PCIe Gen 5 expansion delivers double the I/O bandwidth for high-speed storage, networking, and GPU acceleration.

Storage Flexibility

The R760 offers exceptional storage flexibility for data-intensive workloads:

• Up to 24 x 2.5" drives (NVMe/SAS/SATA) for maximum density
• Alternatively, up to 12 x 3.5" drives for high-capacity configurations
• Mixed drive configurations combining NVMe for hot data and SAS/SATA for capacity
• PERC 12 RAID controllers with SAS4 24Gbps and hardware acceleration
• BOSS-N1 Boot Optimized Storage with dual M.2 NVMe SSDs
• PCIe Gen 5 NVMe slots for maximum storage performance

Management & Security

Every PowerEdge R760 includes iDRAC9 with Redfish API for modern automation. Enterprise security features include Intel SGX, Intel TXT, TPM 2.0, and silicon root of trust. Cryptographically signed firmware, secure boot, and system lockdown capabilities protect against sophisticated attacks.

Integration with OpenManage Enterprise provides centralized lifecycle management, automated firmware updates, compliance monitoring, and AI-assisted optimization across your infrastructure.
