DELL PowerEdge R750 rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4310 2.1GHz 12-core 512GB DDR4 24x 960GB SSD H755 2x 1400W

Dual-socket Xeon Silver 4310 server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory installed across 16 modules. The system includes a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache and battery backup. Twenty-four 960 GB SATA SSDs provide high-capacity flash storage in the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Upgrade from single-socket or HDD-based platforms

Moving from a single-processor server doubles the core count to 24 and enables the full 32 DIMM slots for future memory expansion. Replacing mechanical drives with the 24 SATA SSDs removes rotational latency and improves random read performance for databases and virtualisation workloads. The H755 controller adds hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-protected write caching. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap bays allow component replacement without downtime.

Suited for virtualisation clusters

This configuration fits organisations running dense VMware, Hyper-V or container clusters that need high core density and large memory footprints. The 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 adapter supports fast east-west traffic between nodes. Buyers who need NVMe performance, GPU compute, or more than two processors should evaluate other platforms. Workloads requiring 3.5-inch drive bays or higher single-thread frequency will also need a different chassis.
