Dell PowerEdge R960: The Ultimate 4U Mission-Critical Engine
Maximum Expandability & Hardware Supply for Data-Intensive Enterprises. Request a quote for the best price for UAE and Africa Projects.
When your workload demands zero compromise, the Dell PowerEdge R960 Server answers. As the flagship 4-Socket, 4U Rack Server, it offers significantly more internal storage and GPU capacity than the R860. We provide specialized ICT Infrastructure services for this beast of a machine, ensuring it powers your Artificial Intelligence (AI) and In-Memory Databases (SAP HANA) with unmatched reliability.
Why Choose the R960?
- ✅ Extreme Hardware Supply: Supports 4x Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors (up to 60 cores each) and 16TB RAM.
- ✅ Massive Storage: Configurable with up to 64 x NVMe Flash Drives for internal data lakes.
- ✅ Project Services: Full Network Implementation and Testing & Commissioning for Dubai, Riyadh, and Export to Africa.
Strategic ICT Infrastructure: The Dell R960 Scale-Up Solution
The Dell PowerEdge R960 is not just a server; it is a data center consolidation platform. Replacing racks of older 2-socket servers with a single 4-socket R960 reduces licensing costs and complexity. We manage the full lifecycle of this Hardware Supply.
1. Hardware Supply: R960 vs. R860 (Why go 4U?)
While both feature 4 processors, the R960's larger 4U Chassis offers critical advantages for specific ICT Infrastructure projects.
- Maximized Storage: The R960 supports up to 64 drive bays (compared to 24 in the R860). This makes it the superior choice for Software-Defined Storage (vSAN) and massive internal databases without needing external storage arrays.
- GPU Acceleration: The 4U height allows for better airflow and support for up to 4 x Double-Wide 350W GPUs, essential for AI Deep Learning and VDI consolidation.
2. Network Implementation & Power Planning
Deploying a 4-Socket server requires precision. Our engineering team handles the complex Network Implementation and site preparation.
- Power Balancing: The R960 can draw significant power. We assist with PDU planning and redundancy configuration (N+N) to ensure your data center power grid can handle the load.
- High-Speed Fabric: We install and configure 100GbE / 200GbE network cards to ensure the 16TB of memory can be filled and accessed instantly across your network.
- Airflow Optimization: Proper rack placement and cabling are critical for a 4U server. We ensure no thermal pockets exist in your hot/cold aisle containment.
3. Related Software & Licenses
Unlock the full potential of 240+ Processor Cores with the right Related Software & Licenses.
- Database Licensing: We supply SAP HANA and Oracle Database licenses optimized for the R960 architecture.
- Virtualization: VMware vSphere 8 Enterprise Plus licensing, specifically calculated for 4-socket hosts to maximize VM density.
- AI Software: Drivers and container support for NVIDIA AI Enterprise suites.
4. Testing and Commissioning (Risk Mitigation)
A server of this magnitude runs your most critical applications. Failure is not an option. Our Testing and Commissioning service guarantees stability.
- Full Load Testing: We run synthetic benchmarks on all 4 CPUs and GPUs simultaneously in our Dubai lab to verify thermal stability before delivery.
- Memory Validation: With up to 16TB of RAM, even a single faulty DIMM can cause downtime. We perform rigorous MemTest86+ cycles to ensure zero errors.
- Site Acceptance Test (SAT): For UAE clients, we perform a final on-site power-on test and handover, providing a signed Commissioning Report for your compliance team.
- Export Logistics: For clients in Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa, we use reinforced pallet crating to support the sheer weight of the R960 during air freight.
