Dell PowerEdge MX760C Half-Width Blade

The Dell PowerEdge MX760C is a half-width blade server designed for dense compute environments. It ships with two Intel Gold 6434 processors running at 3.7GHz, each providing 8 cores and 22.5M cache. Memory capacity is 512GB of DDR4 across 16 modules rated at PC5-4800. Six 480GB SATA SSDs and an H755 MX RAID controller complete the storage subsystem.

Target workloads and constraints

This blade suits virtualisation clusters, database nodes and high-performance computing tasks that benefit from high core counts and large memory in a compact form factor. The 25Gb CNA mezzanine card supports converged network traffic. Buyers who need more than six 2.5-inch drive bays or require Fibre Channel connectivity should evaluate other configurations. The half-width design limits I/O expansion to the modular fabric bays available in the MX chassis.

Deciding specification

The installed memory of 512GB DDR4 in 16 slots determines whether this blade matches the workload footprint. If the application requires more memory capacity or a different memory speed, this specific unit will not meet the requirement.
