One 2U Chassis, Four Workloads, Zero Compromise
The Dell PowerEdge R760 is the mainstream 2U dual-socket rack server that data center teams standardize on when they need one platform to run everything: virtualized estates, SQL and analytics, VDI pools, and AI/ML inference pilots. It pairs up to two 5th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (64 cores each) con 32 DDR5 slots, flexible drive-bay layouts from 12 x 3.5-inch to 24 x NVMe U.2, y hasta 8 Ranuras PCIe – so the same chassis scales from a budget virtualization node to a GPU-equipped inference box.

Configuration Calculator: Match the Chassis to the Workload
Instead of one “standard” build, the R760 is ordered by workload. Use this matrix as your starting point:
| Workload | Suggested build | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Mixed virtualization | 2 x Xeon (32-56 núcleos), 512 GB-1 TB DDR5, 8-16 x 2,5″ SAS/SATA + 2 x NVMe boot | Core density for VMs, BOSS-N1 boot, PERC H755 |
| AI/ML inference | 2 x 5th Gen Xeon, 1-2 x double-wide GPU (350 W), 16 X E3.S Gen5 NVME | GPU headroom + high-bandwidth Gen5 flash |
| Base de datos & analítica | 2 x Xeon Max / high-core SKU, 2-4 TB DDR5, 24 x NVMe U.2 | Memory bandwidth and NVMe latency |
| VDI | 2 x Xeon, 1-2 TB DDR5, 24 x 2,5″ SAS/SATA SSD, dual 10/25GbE OCP NIC | IOPS density + network capacity |

Almacenamiento & RAID Flexibility
The R760 covers the full storage spectrum. Front bays scale from 12 SAS/SATA de 3,5 pulgadas (hasta 240 tuberculosis) a 24 SAS/SATA/NVMe de 2,5 pulgadas (hasta 368.64 tuberculosis) y 16 x EDSFF E3.S Gen5 drives; rear bays add 2-4 more 2.5-inch drives or 4 x E3.S. NVMe options include up to 24 x U.2 Gen4.
RAID choices range from PERC H965i (trimodo, hardware RAID with cache) and PERC H755 to the BOSS-N1 boot subsystem with 2 x M.2 NVMe in hardware RAID, plus HBA355i/e non-RAID HBAs and S160 software RAID. PERC controllers support RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with battery-backed or NV cache – see the specific card for cache sizing.
Red & Expansión PCIe
Networking is modular: an optional 2 X 1GBE LOM Tarjeta, an optional OCP 3.0 tarjeta (1/10/25/100Llevar), or a Management Interface Card for a Dell DPU – the system accepts LOM, OCP, or both. Eight PCIe slots mix Gen5 and Gen4 with full-height, low-profile and SNAPI options, so HCA, dual-port NIC and storage controller cards coexist without reconfiguring the chassis.

Seguridad & Gestión
Cyber-resilient by design. Silicon root of trust anchors end-to-end boot resilience; Arranque seguro, cryptographically signed firmware, Secured Component Verification (verificación de integridad del hardware), Borrado seguro, Bloqueo del sistema (iDRAC9 Enterprise) and Data at Rest Encryption via SEDs protect the server from factory to decommission. TPM 2.0 ships FIPS/CC-TCG certified, with a China NationZ variant available.
Autonomous operations. iDRAC9 delivers out-of-band control with a dedicated management port, HTML5 virtual console, medios virtuales, hardware telemetry, Redfish RESTful API and the iDRAC Service Module. Fleet-wide, OpenManage Enterprise automates updates, power management and service workflows with integrations for VMware vCenter, Centro de sistemas de Microsoft, Ansible and Terraform.
