DELL PowerEdge R760 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6426Y 1TB DDR5 4x 1.92TB SATA H965i 5720 iDRAC9 2x 1400W PSUs

Dell PowerEdge R760 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server built for demanding enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y processors, each with 16 cores running at 2.5GHz and a 4.1GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 1TB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across 32 slots, a PERC H965i RAID controller with 8GB NV cache, and four 1.92TB SATA solid-state drives. Dual 1400W platinum power supplies and a Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE OCP 3.0 card complete the configuration.

Virtualization and database teams

This server suits organisations running VMware vSphere, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, as well as Microsoft SQL Server and other enterprise databases. The 32 DIMM slots and 8TB maximum memory ceiling give room to grow for memory-intensive applications. Buyers who need more than 16 front drive bays or who require GPU accelerator support should evaluate other platforms. The single-thread performance of the Gold 6426Y may not meet the needs of latency-sensitive trading or high-frequency compute tasks.

PERC H965i RAID controller

The installed PERC H965i controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS, SATA and NVMe drives. Its 8GB non-volatile cache protects write data during power loss. Confirm the backplane cabling matches the drive types you plan to populate, because the controller’s NVMe support depends on the specific backplane option installed in the 16-bay chassis.
