DELL PowerEdge R760 2U 16 Bay 2x Xeon Gold 5418Y 24 Core 256GB DDR5 H965i 4x 1.92TB 5720 iDRAC9 2x 1400W

Dell PowerEdge R760 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server with sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5418Y processors, each offering twenty-four cores at 2.0 GHz with a 3.8 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across thirty-two slots. A PERC H965i controller and four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs are installed.

Ideal for Virtualisation and Databases

This configuration suits organisations running VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation, along with Microsoft SQL Server and enterprise databases. The sixteen-bay chassis supports SAS, SATA and NVMe storage for software-defined storage or high-performance computing clusters. Buyers needing GPU acceleration for large-scale AI training or workloads requiring more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 5418Y 24-Core CPUs

The server is populated with the maximum of two Xeon Gold 5418Y processors, providing forty-eight total cores and a 3.8 GHz maximum turbo speed. This CPU choice fixes the performance ceiling for compute-intensive tasks such as virtualisation density and database throughput. Memory capacity can scale to 8 TB using the remaining twenty-four DDR5 slots, but processor performance cannot be increased beyond the installed pair.
