Dell PowerEdge R760xs Rack Server 2.5″ Mid-Range Rack Server (Up to 16 Drives)

The Dell PowerEdge R760xs Rack Server (Mid-Range Rack Server) with a 2.5″ chassis supporting up to 16 SAS/SATA hard drives is a powerful, scalable platform for virtualization, databases, VDI, and critical application workloads. Designed for modern data centres and enterprise server rooms, this mid-range rack server delivers high compute density, fast storage, and resilient power and networking for mixed and demanding workloads.

Powered by an Intel Xeon Silver 4514Y processor with 16 cores / 32 threads, 30MB cache, and Turbo / Hyper‑Threading (150W), it handles multi-threaded tasks efficiently. The system is equipped with 64GB DDR5 5600MT/s RDIMM memory for high bandwidth and future scalability. A 480GB SATA Read‑Intensive SSD (2.5″/3.5″ HYB hot‑plug) is included for fast OS and application performance, with an additional 15x 2.5″ drive slots available for expansion.

Storage is controlled by the PERC H755 SAS front RAID controller (RAID 0/1/5), while networking is delivered via Broadcom 5720 dual‑port 1GbE LOM plus a Broadcom 57416 dual‑port 10GbE BASE‑T OCP NIC 3.0 for high-throughput connectivity. Enterprise‑grade management is ensured by iDRAC Enterprise 16G / iDRAC9 Enterprise 15G, and power resilience comes from dual, redundant (1+1) hot‑plug 1100W Titanium PSUs, all backed by 3 Year Basic Next Business Day Onsite support.
