Used and Refurbished Dell PowerEdge R770

17th Gen | 2U Rack Server | 2 Socket

The Dell PowerEdge R770 is a dual-socket 2U rack server designed to deliver high performance with optimized power efficiency for modern data centers. Built around up to two Intel Xeon 6 processors, with support for as many as 144 E-cores or 86 P-cores per processor, the R770 is engineered for demanding workloads while improving performance per watt over previous generations. With 32 DDR5 DIMM slots supporting up to 8TB of memory at speeds up to 6400 MT/s, plus flexible storage options that scale from traditional 2.5-inch bays to dense EDSFF E3.S Gen5 NVMe configurations, the R770 is well suited for businesses that need both speed and expansion headroom. It also supports GPU acceleration with up to 2 double-width 450W GPUs or up to 6 75W FHHL GPUs.

Purpose-built for enterprise and scalable infrastructures, the PowerEdge R770 is ideal for organizations looking to standardize on a versatile, next-generation platform for virtualization, artificial intelligence inferencing, cloud-native applications, hyperscale workloads, and scale-out databases. Dell also positions the R770 as a power-optimized platform, with rear I/O hot aisle and front I/O cold aisle configuration options, advanced cooling, and integrated management and security features designed to improve efficiency, serviceability, and cyber resilience across the server lifecycle.
