The Dell PowerEdge R670 is a 1U, dual-socket rack server designed for high-performance computing with optimal power efficiency and balanced performance to boost your data center productivity. It balances advanced computing power with virtualization, cloud-native applications, all-flash SDS, hyperscale workloads, and scale out databases
Max Performance:
The PowerEdge R670, designed for enterprise scalability, integrates seamlessly with existing systems. Powered by two Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with E-cores and P-cores, it delivers 1.69x better performance per watt than previous models, enhancing power efficiency and rack density. GPU support boosts computational power while maintaining low energy consumption.
Air-cooled at peak performance
The PowerEdge R670 offers rear I/O hot aisle and front I/O cold aisle configurations. The front I/O cold aisle enhances serviceability, reduces maintenance time, and improves efficiency, reliability, and uptime, supporting sustainability by optimizing cooling and energy use. Dell’s Smart Power and Cooling Technology, tailored for air cooling, significantly cuts energy consumption for long-term operational savings.
Cyber Resilient Architecture for 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. The Silicon-based root of trust anchors end-to-end boot resilience while Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls safeguard trusted operations.
