Ideal for:
  • Mail
  • Web Tech

With ultra-dense internal storage, the 2-socket, 2U Dell PowerEdge R720xd rack server is performance balanced for data intensive operations.

Designed for workloads that are hungry for storage and I/O performance, like medical imaging and email servers, the Dell PowerEdge R720xd rack server is a powerful combination of highly expandable memory, impressive I/O capabilities and extraordinary storage capacity. Powered by Intel Xeon E5-2600 processors, and reinforced with reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features like hot-plug fans, disks and power supply units (PSUs), the R720xd delivers outstanding performance and rock-solid reliability


Exploit extensive local storage

Quickly access and process vast amounts of data with the PowerEdge R720xd, which offers twenty-four 2.5-inch disks or twelve 3.5-inch disks (plus two 2.5-inch disks in the back of the server), up to 768GB of memory (24 DIMMs) and integrated PCI Express® 3.0-capable expansion slots. The R720xd is a great solution for any midsize or large business that requires scalability in both memory density and storage capacity.

Tailor your network fabric

The R720xd’s network features allow you to tailor your network throughput to match your application needs, enabling added I/O performance. Dell Select Network Adapters, our flexible NIC technology, let you choose the right network fabric without using up a valuable PCI slot. You can pick speed, technology, vendor and other options, like switch independent partitioning that lets you share and manage bandwidth on 10GbE connections.


Performance-packed computing

Dramatically boost application performance with the latest Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 or E5-2600v2 product family and up to 24 dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs). Built with 22-nanometer process technology and up to 12 cores per processor, it enables super-fast processing for compute-intensive tasks.



Outstanding Server Utility

Put the power and flexibility of the PowerEdge R720xd rack server to work for your large mail server, web hosting, database or other enterprise-level applications.


Internal storage

The R720 and R720xd are available in several hot-plug, hard-drive chassis options, as detailed in the table below.

Note that the chassis option must be selected at the point of purchase and cannot be changed or upgraded later.

PowerEdge server Chassis option
R720xd 24 x 2.5” drives (front) + 2 x 2.5” drives (back)
12 x 3.5” drives (front) + 2 x 2.5” drives (back)
Networking and PCIe

The PowerEdge R720xd supports one custom network daughter card (NDC), as part of the Select the Network Adapters family, to house the complete LOM subsystem. There are two form factors of Select Network Adapters — one for blade servers and one for rack servers. The rack NDC options supported on the R720xd include a selection of 1GbE and 10GbE port cards, such as 1000 Base-T, 10Gb Base-T, and 10Gb SFP+

The R720xd provides greatly expanded PCIe slot capability over their predecessor servers. This is made possible by the 40 PCIe lanes available from each processor in the system. Two processors are required in the system to enable all PCIe slots. The R720xd have been designed to be PCIe 3.0 compliant in order to take full advantage of the processor's capabilities.
