PowerEdge R770
The Dell PowerEdge 2U dual Intel Xeon server is a high-density enterprise server designed for compute-intensive workloads, virtualization, AI/ML workloads, and large-scale data storage. It supports dual Intel Xeon 6 processors with high core counts, massive DDR5 memory, extensive NVMe storage options (including EDSFF Gen5), flexible GPU configurations, advanced PCIe and OCP networking options, and enhanced management via iDRAC and NativeEdge. Cooling can be air-based or direct liquid (DLC), making it suitable for demanding data center environments.
