DELL PowerEdge R760 2U 16-Bay 2x Xeon Silver 4410Y 512GB DDR5 H965i 2x1400W

2U 16-bay rack server with dual Xeon Silver 4410Y

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon Silver 4410Y processors running at 2.0 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo across twelve cores each. It ships with 512 GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across sixteen 32 GB modules and a PERC H965i RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays, a quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 network card, iDRAC9 Datacenter and dual 1400 W platinum power supplies complete the configuration.

Upgrades from single-socket or lower-core platforms

Moving from a single-processor server or a dual-socket system with fewer than twelve cores per CPU adds the parallel throughput needed for heavy virtualization, database consolidation or AI inference workloads. The jump is worth it when memory capacity must scale beyond a single socket limit or when PCIe Gen5 devices require the full lane count available with two 4th or 5th Generation Xeon Scalable processors installed.

Suits virtualization clusters

This configuration targets IT teams building VMware, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters, private clouds and SDS nodes that need dense 2.5-inch storage in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require GPU accelerators, more than sixteen drive bays, 10 GbE or faster networking out of the box, or a single-socket platform to reduce licensing costs should evaluate alternative models.
