Dell PowerEdge R750 12 Bay 3.5" 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4314 2.4GHz 16 Core 512GB DDR4 H755

Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualisation workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4314 processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 16 cores, giving 32 threads total for heavy multi-threaded applications. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots, expandable to 2 TB. A PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache and battery supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Upgrades from single-socket or older 14G platforms

Moving from a single-processor server doubles the core count and memory channels, reducing contention for database and virtualisation workloads. The jump from a 14th Generation PowerEdge adds PCIe Gen4 bandwidth and support for faster DDR4 speeds up to 3200 MT/s. The H755 controller replaces earlier PERC cards with larger NV cache and broader RAID support. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies add full redundancy for continuous operation. The Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 card provides high-speed networking without consuming a PCIe slot.

Suits enterprises running dense virtualisation

Organisations needing a balanced compute-to-storage ratio in a 2U form factor will benefit from the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis supporting SATA and SAS drives. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables comprehensive remote management and automation. Buyers who require NVMe-only storage, GPU acceleration, or a smaller 1U footprint should evaluate alternative configurations. The fixed 12-bay 3.5-inch layout does not accommodate 2.5-inch drive densities or front-access NVMe backplanes.
