The Dell PowerEdge R660 is the latest addition to Dell's server lineup, designed to meet the demanding needs of today's business environment. This 1U, two-socket rack server is fully equipped with top-of-the-line features, providing the performance and versatility required to address even the most challenging workloads like dense database analytics and high-density virtualization.
One of the most impressive features of the PowerEdge R660 is its maximum performance capabilities. It can support up to two Next Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, each with up to 56 cores, enabling faster and more accurate processing performance. In addition, the server can accelerate in-memory workloads with up to 32 DDR5 RDIMMs, which can operate at up to 4400 MT/sec (2DPC) or 4800 MT/sec for 1DPC (16 DDR5 RDIMMs max). This makes the PowerEdge R660 ideal for businesses that require high-speed data processing and analysis.
To support workloads that require acceleration, the PowerEdge R660 also supports GPUs, including 2* x single-wide. This feature is especially useful for businesses that require high-performance computing for specialized applications like scientific simulations, machine learning, and data analytics.
Another significant advantage of the PowerEdge R660 is its air-cooled peak performance. The new Smart Flow chassis optimizes airflow to support the highest core count CPUs in an air-cooled environment within the current IT infrastructure. This is achieved without the need for expensive liquid cooling systems, making the PowerEdge R660 a cost-effective and efficient solution.
The PowerEdge R660 also offers enhanced agility to businesses that need to scale their IT infrastructure to address evolving workloads and business objectives. It features multiple chassis designs that can be tailored to specific workloads, storage options that include up to 8 x 2.5” NVMe/SAS4/SATA, plus up to 10 x 2.5” NVMe/SAS4/SATA, 14/16 x NVME E3.S Gen5*, and multiple Gen4 and Gen5 riser configurations (up to 3 x PCIe slots) with interchangeable components that seamlessly integrate to address customer needs over time.
The PowerEdge R660 also features a Cyber Resilient Architecture that provides a 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.
Businesses can also increase efficiency and accelerate operations with an autonomous infrastructure using the Dell OpenManageTM systems management portfolio. This solution delivers a secure, efficient, and comprehensive solution for PowerEdge servers. Businesses can simplify, automate, and centralize one-to-many management with the OpenManage Enterprise console and iDRAC.
Finally, the PowerEdge R660 is designed with sustainability in mind. Dell has made a conscious effort to use recycled materials in its products and packaging, offering innovative options for energy efficiency. The PowerEdge portfolio is designed to make, deliver, and recycle products to help reduce the carbon footprint and lower operation costs. Dell even makes it easy to retire legacy systems responsibly with Dell Technologies Services.
In summary, the Dell PowerEdge R660 is a high-performance, versatile, and reliable enterprise server designed to meet the needs of modern businesses. Its top-of-the-line features, including maximum performance capabilities, air-cooled peak performance, enhanced agility, Cyber Resilient Architecture, and autonomous infrastructure, make it the ideal solution for businesses that require high-speed data processing and analysis. Its sustainability features also make it an attractive option for businesses that prioritize environmental responsibility.
