DELL PowerEdge R750 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 12-core 256GB DDR4 24x 1.8TB SAS H755

Dual Xeon Gold 5317 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server equipped 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. The system includes a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache and battery backup, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twenty-four 1.8 TB 10K SAS 12 Gb/s 2.5-inch drives are installed, and dual 1400 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Enterprise virtualization and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations running dense virtualisation clusters, large databases or analytics platforms that benefit from 24 cores and high-speed local storage. The 24 drive bays populated with 10K SAS drives deliver strong random I/O for transactional workloads. Buyers who need more than two processors, GPU acceleration, or all-flash NVMe arrays should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB cache

The PERC H755 controller is the decisive component for storage performance and data protection. Its 8 GB non-volatile cache with battery backup enables write-back caching across all supported RAID levels without risk of data loss during power interruption. This controller determines the achievable IOPS and the range of RAID topologies available for the 24 installed SAS drives.
