Dell PowerEdge R760 Server

Flagship 2U Server Dell PowerEdge R760 for Virtualization, Databases, and AI

Dell PowerEdge R760 is a flagship 2-socket enterprise-class server in a 2U rack form factor. The platform is the “gold standard” of performance and versatility in the Dell Technologies portfolio. It is engineered for the most demanding enterprise workloads: large-scale virtualization, databases (including In-Memory databases, Microsoft SQL, Oracle), high-performance computing (HPC), hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), as well as AI/ML inference and fine-tuning. Unlike the lower-tier R760xs, the classic R760 offers maximum scalability for processors, memory, expansion slots, and GPUs.

The R760 is a universal platform that addresses workloads of any scale: from consolidating existing infrastructure to building new data centers and GPU clusters for AI. Its modular backplane architecture allows the server to adapt to changing workload profiles without chassis replacement.

Use Cases

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is the optimal solution for organizations requiring:

• Large-scale virtualization (VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM)
• In-Memory databases (SAP HANA), Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database
• Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI: Nutanix, VMware vSAN)
• High-performance computing (HPC) and scientific simulation
• AI/ML model inference and fine-tuning
• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
• Workloads requiring maximum storage density and performance

Compute Subsystem

The server supports two 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Sapphire Rapids) or 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Emerald Rapids) processors. Top-tier CPUs can be installed without TDP restrictions — supporting up to 350 W and up to 64 cores per socket (up to 128 cores and 256 threads per system). Built-in Intel hardware accelerators (AMX, DSA, QAT, DLB, IAA) are supported, speeding up AI inference, encryption, compression, and data streaming workloads.

Extreme Memory Capacity

The server provides 32 DIMM slots (16 per socket). It supports high-speed DDR5 ECC RDIMM server memory at speeds up to 4800 MT/s or up to 5600 MT/s. Maximum memory capacity is 4 TB (with standard 128 GB modules) or up to 8 TB with specialized 256 GB 3DS RDIMM modules. Memory Mirroring, Memory Sparing, and ADDDC modes are supported for fault tolerance.

High-Speed Drive Bays

The fully modular backplane architecture supports hot-swap SAS/SATA/NVMe drives in multiple front, mid, and rear panel configurations:

• Up to 24 × 2.5″ (SFF) NVMe/SAS/SATA drives
• Up to 12 × 3.5″ (LFF) SAS/SATA HDD/SSD drives for workloads requiring massive local space
• Up to 16 × EDSFF (E3.S) NVMe PCIe Gen5 drives of the latest energy-efficient form factor, delivering record IOPS and minimal latency
• OS Boot: proprietary dedicated BOSS-N1 module on the rear panel (2 × M.2 NVMe SSDs with hardware RAID 1) for secure hypervisor deployment

Graphics Accelerators (GPU)

The server architecture supports up to 2 double-wide GPUs up to 350 W (e.g., NVIDIA A100 / H100 NVL) or up to 4 compact single-wide cards at 75 W each (such as NVIDIA L4). This makes the server a powerful AI station for inference, model fine-tuning, video analytics, and GPU-accelerated VDI.

Interfaces and Networking

The server provides up to 8 PCIe slots, of which up to 4 support the ultra-fast PCIe Gen5 bus, plus a dedicated OCP 3.0 network slot, allowing flexible uplink configuration (from 1GbE to 100GbE) without consuming standard expansion slots. This configuration allows simultaneous installation of GPU accelerators, RAID controllers, high-speed network adapters, and expansion cards without compromises.

Management, Fault Tolerance, and Security

• Remote Management. Comprehensive monitoring, deployment, and diagnostics are handled by the embedded iDRAC9 lifecycle controller (Express, Enterprise, and Datacenter licenses available). It provides full remote access via KVM-over-IP, integration with RESTful API (Redfish), and the Dell OpenManage ecosystem.
• Power and Cooling. The server is equipped with two redundant hot-swap power supplies rated at 700W, 800W, 1100W, 1400W, 1800W, 2400W, or 2800W with the highest Platinum / Titanium efficiency certification. Cooling is provided by 6 hot-swappable fans. Depending on the configuration (CPU TDP and GPU presence), Standard, High Performance, or Very High Performance fans are installed.
• Cybersecurity (Cyber Resilient Architecture). The protection suite includes a TPM 2.0 hardware crypto chip, Silicon Root of Trust cryptographic firmware authenticity verification, Firmware Resiliency protection against unauthorized firmware modification (compliant with NIST SP 800-193), and System Lockdown mode.
