PowerEdge R860
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 data-
driven 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.
