Frequently Asked Questions

The R-Series is the backbone of Dell’s data center portfolio—versatile, high-performance rack servers built for core business applications, virtualization, analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-ready infrastructure. They balance performance, efficiency, and scalability to meet the demands of modern enterprise IT.
R-Series servers form the foundation of the modern data center, complementing XE-Series systems for accelerated Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High Performance Computing (HPC) workloads, and XR-Series systems for rugged edge deployments. Together, they provide a consistent architecture from core to edge to cloud.
R-Series systems are engineered for flexibility—offering broad CPU, memory, and storage configurations in compact 1U or 2U designs. They deliver the performance of enterprise-class hardware with the operational simplicity and energy efficiency data centers need at scale.
R-Series servers power a wide spectrum of data center workloads: virtualization, ERP, databases, VDI, private cloud, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) inferencing. They are designed to scale seamlessly as demand grows—ideal for consolidating legacy infrastructure or modernizing hybrid environments.
With iDRAC and OpenManage Enterprise, R-Series servers support automated provisioning, firmware updates, and compliance checks. IT teams can manage entire racks through a single interface and integrate workflows with tools like Ansible or ServiceNow.
PowerEdge telemetry continuously tunes power and thermal profiles to match workload demand. Features like adaptive BIOS and multi-vector cooling maintain peak performance while minimizing energy consumption.
R-Series systems are offered in 1U and 2U form factors with single- or dual-socket configurations supporting the latest Intel® Xeon® and AMD EPYC™ processors, DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen5, and flexible all-NVMe or hybrid storage options.
R-Series platforms are designed with efficient cooling, right-sized power delivery, and recycled materials to minimize energy use and carbon footprint—all without compromising reliability or performance.
Security begins at the hardware level with a Silicon Root of Trust. R-Series servers support Secure Boot, System Lockdown, signed firmware updates, and Zero-Trust management integration to protect data and infrastructure integrity.
R-Series systems are Artificial Intelligence (AI)-ready, enabling inference, data preprocessing, and analytics directly in the data center. Combined with Dell OpenManage and APEX solutions, they provide a scalable, secure foundation for digital transformation and High Performance Computing (HPC)-adjacent workloads.
