Designed for extraordinary performance on a wide range of applications, the Dell™ PowerEdge™
R620 rack server is an impressive general-purpose platform that is perfect for data centers with
space constraints. With its hyper-dense memory—up to 768GB in a 1U form factor—and powered by
®
®
the Intel Xeon processor E5 product family, the R620 shines when handling virtualization,
high-performance computing (HPC), and workgroup collaboration applications.

Pack more computing power into a space-challenged data center with the PowerEdge R620, which
offers an exceptionally large memory footprint along with balanced, scalable I/O capabilities,
®
including integrated PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 capable expansion slots. With reliability, availability, and
serviceability (RAS) features like hot-pluggable fans, disks, power supply units (PSUs), and even
redundant failsafe hypervisors, the R620 keeps your data center running with rock-steady reliability.

Virtualization environments demand high memory capacity to maximize the number of virtual
machines per server, and the PowerEdge R620 was designed specifically with these environments in
mind. The R620 also offers outstanding computational density for HPC application clusters by
providing powerful processing capabilities in a compact form factor.

The R620’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, plus other options such as switch independent NIC partitioning, which lets you
share and manage bandwidth on 10GbE connections.

The Dell OpenManage™ systems management portfolio includes the Integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller 7 (iDRAC7) with Lifecycle Controller. Innovative embedded management features help IT
administrators manage Dell servers in physical, virtual, local and remote environments, operating
in-band or out-of-band, with or without a systems management software agent. OpenManage
integrates and connects to third-party systems management solutions so you can maintain your
single point of control and capitalize on your existing investment. OpenManage simplifies the
lifecycle of deploying, updating, monitoring, and maintaining your Dell PowerEdge servers.
