Who the Dell PowerEdge R550 is built for
For mid-size companies that need dual-socket performance and storage capacity without paying for a flagship server.
Databases and ERP
SSD storage and dual Xeon processors handle SQL Server, Oracle and ERP systems for growing teams.
File and application server
The 2U chassis has room for many drives, so the same server can host applications and large file shares.
Banks and government
Dell iDRAC9, Silicon Root of Trust and TPM support help meet the security and management requirements of regulated sectors.
Platform & expansion
Dual Xeon Scalable performance in 2U
Each Intel Xeon Silver 4310 is a 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, a 2.1 GHz base clock and up to 3.3 GHz turbo, supporting 8-channel DDR4-2666 memory and PCIe Gen 4. Two processors give 24 cores and 48 threads for virtualization and multi-user applications.
The R550 has 16 DDR4 RDIMM slots, so the 64GB installed here leaves plenty of room to grow. Its 2U chassis supports large 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drive configurations and PCIe Gen 4 slots for 10/25GbE networking and RAID controllers. For newer DDR5 and 4th Gen Xeon, see the PowerEdge R760xs.
