Dell PowerEdge T360 Tower Server - Options Available

PowerEdge T360 Tower Server Overview

The Dell PowerEdge T360 is a 4.5U tower server designed for versatility, affordability, and processing power. Powered by Intel Xeon E-2400 series processors (or Xeon 6300 series) with up to 8 cores and featuring optional NVIDIA A2 GPU support, the T360 is ideal for small to medium businesses, remote offices, and edge deployments requiring enhanced compute capabilities and entry-level AI acceleration.

Next-Generation Performance

The T360 delivers up to 108% better CPU performance compared to previous generation servers. With support for Intel Xeon E-2400 series or Xeon 6300 series processors (up to 8 cores), plus DDR5 memory up to 128GB at 4400 MT/s across 4 UDIMM slots, the T360 provides 1.4x faster memory bandwidth for data-intensive applications. PCIe Gen 5 support delivers maximum I/O throughput for high-bandwidth devices.

GPU Acceleration for AI Workloads

The T360 supports the NVIDIA A2 Tensor Core GPU – a single-width, 60W accelerator with 16GB GDDR6 memory. The A2 provides:

• Up to 20x faster AI inference compared to CPU-only processing
• 72 TOPS for INT8 tensor operations
• Entry-level GPU performance for edge AI deployments
• Low power consumption (40-60W configurable TDP)
• Compact footprint - single-width design fits in tower chassis

AI & Machine Learning Use Cases

The T360 with NVIDIA A2 GPU enables emerging AI workloads at the edge:

• Video Surveillance & Analytics - Real-time object detection, facial recognition, behavior analysis for retail and security
• AI Inferencing - Deploy trained models locally for low-latency predictions without cloud dependency
• Inventory Management - Automated visual inspection and counting in warehouses and retail stores
• Visual Quality Control - Manufacturing defect detection using computer vision
• Media & Entertainment - 3D rendering, video encoding, audio processing
• VDI Acceleration - Enhanced virtual desktop performance with GPU offload

Massive Storage Capacity

Configure your T360 with unprecedented storage for an entry-level tower:

• Up to 8 x 3.5" SAS/SATA drives - Maximum 128TB total capacity
• Alternative: Up to 8 x 2.5" drives - Maximum 61.44TB with SSDs
• BOSS-N1 - Boot Optimized Storage with 2 x M.2 NVMe SSDs for OS isolation

RAID controller options include:

• PERC S160 - Software RAID for cost-effective redundancy
• PERC H355 - Hardware RAID for enhanced performance
• PERC H755 - Advanced hardware RAID with cache
• HBA355i/e - 12Gbps SAS HBA for non-RAID configurations

PCIe Gen 5 Expansion

The T360 features PCIe Gen 5 slots for future-proof expansion and maximum I/O throughput. Available slots accommodate network adapters, GPUs (including NVIDIA A2), storage controllers, and other add-in cards.

Management & Security

Every T360 includes iDRAC9 (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) with comprehensive remote management capabilities. Available licensing tiers (Basic, Express, Enterprise) provide features from basic monitoring to full remote console access and lifecycle management. The T360 integrates cyber-resilient architecture including silicon root of trust, secure boot, cryptographically signed firmware, TPM 2.0, and system lockdown capabilities.

Office-Friendly Design

Despite its 4.5U form factor and increased capabilities, the T360 maintains office-friendly acoustics suitable for deployment in work environments. The larger chassis provides improved airflow and thermal management, with hot-plug storage bays and energy-efficient power supplies for reliable 24/7 operation.
