Used and Refurbished Dell PowerEdge R860

16th Gen | 2U Rack Server | 4 Socket

The Dell PowerEdge R860 is a high-density 2U four-socket rack server designed for business-critical workloads that require substantial compute power, memory capacity, and I/O expansion. Supporting up to four 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with as many as 60 cores per processor, the R860 can deliver up to 240 processor cores in a compact 2U platform. It also supports 64 DDR5 DIMM slots with up to 16TB of registered ECC memory at speeds up to 4800 MT/s, making it particularly well suited for large in-memory databases and other memory-intensive enterprise applications. Storage options include up to 24 front 2.5-inch SAS, SATA, or NVMe drives, while eight PCIe slots provide extensive Gen5 expansion capability.

Purpose-built for core and business-critical applications, the PowerEdge R860 is ideal for large in-memory databases such as SAP HANA, SQL, and Oracle, as well as data analytics, AI, virtualization, and VDI workloads. Dell positions the R860 as a scale-up platform that combines dense four-socket compute with DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen5, NVMe storage, flexible OCP networking, and optional direct liquid cooling. Integrated iDRAC9 and OpenManage management, along with Dell's cyber-resilient security architecture, provide enterprise-class lifecycle management and security for demanding data center environments.
