Dell PowerEdge R860 Technology Specification
Power business-critical, core workloads with high-density compute
Maximize your core operations with powerful, dense compute foundation:
The R860 with a 2U air-cooled form factor and four (4) Intel Xeon® Scalable Processors enables businesses to accelerate a wide variety of core and business-critical applications including databases, analytics, and other datadriven applications.
• With a maximum CPU core count of 60 cores and the ability to support 64 DDR5 DIMMs for a total of 16TB of memory, the R860 is large enough to run in-memory databases and multiple applications.
• Scale up business needs with support for up to 24 NVMe drives, DIMMs, 8 PCIe Gen5 slots for I/O expansion, LOM, and industry standard OCP to enable customers flexible network connectivity.
• Enable fast 1:1 CPU-I/O communications with PCIe Gen5 adaptor support.
Purpose-built operations and workload performance:
• Harness the latest generation technologies including DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen 5.0, and NVMe SSDs to maximize data transformation, support large in-memory databases, and generate faster insights to drive the business forward.
• Leverage new workload accelerators built into each Intel Xeon processor that are purpose-designed for peak performance in traditional and emerging business applications.
• Deploy quickly with slim 2U form factor, enabling IT organizations to consolidate more operations into fewer, more powerful servers, and high density in air-cooled environments.
Cyber Resilient Architecture for Zero Trust IT environment & operations:
Security is integrated into every phase of the PowerEdge lifecycle, including protected supply chain and factory-to-site integrity assurance. Silicon-based root of trust anchors end-to-end boot resilience while Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls ensure trusted operations.
