Overview
The Dell EMC PowerEdge R760 is a high-performance, versatile 2U dual-socket rack server designed to deliver exceptional compute, memory, storage, and expansion capabilities for demanding enterprise workloads. It is purpose-built for scalable infrastructure environments, covering use cases such as virtualization, databases, AI/ML inference, high-performance computing (HPC), software-defined storage, and data analytics.
The server supports the latest Intel Xeon Scalable processors (including 4th and 5th generation), features a next-generation Smart Flow chassis for optimal cooling, and offers a broad set of storage, I/O, accelerator, and network options. Its modular design and support for high-density configurations allow organizations to tailor the system to evolving performance and capacity needs.
Features
- High Compute Flexibility: Supports up to two Intel Xeon Scalable or Xeon Max processors (4th or 5th generation), enabling high core counts (up to 56 cores for 4th Gen, up to 64 cores for 5th Gen) for compute-intensive workloads.
- Advanced Memory Architecture: Up to 32 DDR5 RDIMM slots, providing high throughput and capacity for modern memory demands.
- Rich Accelerators & GPU Support: Capable of hosting up to 2 double-width GPUs (e.g. 350 W class) or up to 6 single-wide accelerator cards, supporting AI/ML inference, GPU compute, and DPU workloads.
- Flexible Storage Options: Supports combinations of SAS, SATA, NVMe (U.2 and E3.S), with configurations up to 24 x NVMe or mixed drive layouts.
- Expandable I/O & Networking: Multiple riser options (Gen4 and Gen5), support for OCP 3.0 NICs, built-in LOM or OCP NIC up to high-speed Ethernet (e.g. 100 GbE, 200 GbE) combined with support for DPUs.
- Thermal & Airflow Innovation: Smart Flow chassis design optimizes airflow to maintain performance even at high power densities in air-cooled environments.
- Robust Security & Lifecycle: Built-in trusted supply chain, silicon root-of-trust, secure boot, role-based access, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and firmware integrity features guard the system from hardware to firmware layers.
- Redundancy & High Availability: Multiple hot-swap, redundant components including power supplies and fans, enabling 24/7 uptime demands.
- Universal Ecosystem Compatibility: Compatible with Dell’s management stack, monitoring, and orchestration tools to integrate into enterprise infrastructure environments.
