DELL PowerEdge R760 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6416H 128GB DDR5 H965i 8x 2.5" trays 5720 iDRAC9 2x 1400W

Dual Xeon Gold 6416H 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6416H processors, each running at 2.2GHz with a 4.2GHz turbo frequency and 18 cores per socket. It ships with 128GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across 32 available slots and includes a Dell PERC H965i RAID controller with 8GB NV cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and NVMe. Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays are installed in a 16-bay chassis, alongside a Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE OCP 3.0 network card and dual 1400W platinum power supplies.

Virtualization, AI and database workloads

This server suits organisations running VMware vSphere, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualization clusters, AI and machine-learning training, Microsoft SQL Server or other enterprise databases, software-defined storage and high-performance computing tasks. The 16-bay SFF layout and PCIe Gen5 slots provide storage and expansion headroom for growing workloads. Buyers who need GPU-dense configurations, single-socket economy or tower-form-factor deployment should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H965i RAID controller with 8GB NV cache

The installed Dell PERC H965i front RAID controller is the decisive storage component; it delivers hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and NVMe acceleration via its 8GB non-volatile cache. Confirm that your drive mix and RAID-level requirements align with this controller before purchase, as the chassis supports sixteen 2.5-inch bays but only eight trays are populated.
