Setting the standard for feature flexibility in a 2-socket, 2U rack server, the Dell™ Power Edge™ R720 is built to run complex workloads using its highly scalable memory, I/O capacity & flexible network options. Designed to excel at running a wide range of applications & virtualization environments for both mid-size & large enterprises, the Dell Power Edge R720 rack server is a general purpose platform with highly expandable memory (up to 768GB) & impressive I/O capabilities to match. With Intel Xeon E5-2600 processors, & the ability to support dual RAID controllers, the R720 can readily handle very demanding workloads, such as data warehouses, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), databases & high performance computing (HPC) as a data node. ** Manage data overload** Keep pace with the explosion of data in the virtual age with the flexible, powerful I/O & storage capabilities of the R720. Up to 16 internal hard drives & integrated PCI Express 3.0-capable expansion slots greatly increase your capacity, while optional hot-plug, front-access PCIe SSDs (up to 4) enable performance-enhancing, in-box storage tiering. Moreover, Dell Select Network Adapters, our flexible NIC technology, let you choose the right network fabric to match your needs without using up a valuable PCIe slot. ** Accelerate the solution** Boost the performance of your HPC or VDI environment by combining the Power Edge R720s memory density with an optional GPU accelerator (some with over 500 cores). Choose from a range of GPU options for greater assisted performance. ** Virtualize more with the R720** Maximize your data centers application capacity by expanding your virtual environment using the Power Edge R720s large memory footprint. Choose an industry-leading hypervisor & take advantage of our system management capability to manage both physical & virtual assets. The R720 can help maximize your virtua
