POWEREDGE R740xd
Maximize storage performance and scalability
The PowerEdge R740xd delivers a perfect balance between storage
scalability and performance. The 2U two-socket platform is ideal
for software defined storage, service providers or as virtual
desktop infrastructure.
Maximize performance and capacity
The scalable system architecture behind the R740xd with up to 24
NVMe drives creates the ideal balance between scalability and
performance. The R740xd versatility is highlighted with the ability
to mix any drive type to create the optimum configuration of NVMe,
SSD and HDD for either performance, capacity or both. The R740xd is
the platform of choice for software defined storage and is the
foundation for VSAN or the PowerEdge XC.
• Maximize storage performance with up to 24 NVMe drives and ensure
application performance scales to meet demands.
• Free up storage space using internal M.2 SSDs optimized for boot.
• Simplify and accelerate ScaleIO or VMware vSAN™ deployments with
validated, pre-bundled and tailored Ready Nodes.
• Accelerate workloads with up to three double-width 300W GPUs, or
up to six single-width 150W GPUs, or up to three double-width or up
to four single-width FPGAs.
Automate maintenance with Dell EMC OpenManage
Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with OpenManage™ technology work at peak
efficiency for PowerEdge servers, delivering intelligent, automated
management of routine tasks. Combined with unique agent-free
management capabilities, the R740xd is simply managed, freeing up
time for high profile projects.
• Simplify management with the OpenManage EnterpriseTM console,
with customized reporting and automatic discovery.
• Take advantage of QuickSync 2 capabilities and gain access to
your servers easily through your phone or tablet.
Ensure server security from factory to you
Every PowerEdge server is designed as part of a cyber resilient
architecture, integrating security into the full server life cycle.
The R740xd leverages new security features built-into every new
PowerEdge server strengthening protection so you can reliably and
securely deliver accurate data to your customers no matter where
they are. By considering each aspect of system security, from
design to retirement, Dell EMC ensures trust and delivers a
worry-free, secure infrastructure without compromise.
• Rely on a secure component supply chain to ensure protection from
factory to the data center.
• Maintain data safety with cryptographically signed firmware
packages and Secure Boot.
