DELL PowerEdge R650 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 12C 256GB DDR4 10x 1.8TB SAS H755 5720

Dense 1U compute for virtualization and databases

This Dell PowerEdge R650 is a new 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors running at 3.0 GHz with 12 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Ten 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives attach to a PERC H755 controller with 8 GB NV cache and battery backup supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suits dense virtualization.

The configuration targets organisations that want high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit for virtualisation, database or private cloud workloads. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify deployment and ongoing management. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, 25 GbE or faster networking, or NVMe-only storage should evaluate other platforms.

Ten 1.8 TB SAS drives on H755 RAID

The storage subsystem delivers ten 2.5-inch 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives managed by the PERC H755 controller with 8 GB non-volatile cache and battery protection. This combination provides the capacity and redundancy options that decide whether the server matches a given workload.
