Ready for any workload

At the heart of the Dell XR8000 is a rugged, short-depth 2U chassis that lets you choose from 1U or 2U half-width, hot-swappable Compute Sleds and enables up to four nodes. Depending on the number and variety of workloads and their various requirements, you can load the chassis with a mix of sleds, each running a different processor type, generation and accelerator card as needed. The XR8000 supports three sled configurations designed for flexible deployments. These can be 4 x 1U sleds, 2 x 1U and 1 x 2U sleds or 2 x 2U sleds.
  • Improved thermal performance
  • Reduced power cabling
  • Simplified generational upgrades
  • Run multiple generations of workloads in the same chassis
  • Support CU/DU, UPF and other workloads

Ready for the latest silicon

XR8000 sleds may be small but they are mighty. We design them using the latest chips sets to ensure the best price/performance for your network infrastructure. We also outfit them with ergonomic features and make them hot-swappable so you can change or upgrade them without shutting anything down. With these advanced sleds, you can always run the latest generation of CPUs for the lowest TCO throughout the platform's 10-year lifespan.
