Maximise 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 ScaleIO, VSAN or the PowerEdge XC.
- Maximise 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 optimised for boot.
- Simplify and accelerate ScaleIO or VMware vSAN deployments with validated, pre-bundled and tailored Ready Nodes.
Automate systems management with 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.
