Dell Technologies has tested and fully validated the following PowerEdge server options for an OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 deployment.
The PowerEdge R660 server is powered by the 4th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with up to 56 cores for faster and more accurate processing performance. The PowerEdge R660 is a two-socket/1U rack server that delivers outstanding performance for the most demanding workloads. The R660 model supports up to 32 DDR5 RDIMMS up to 4400 MT per second (2DPC) or 4800 MT per second for 1DPC (16 DDR5 RDIMMs at a maximum). The PowerEdge R660 model provides storage options up to eight 2.5” NVMe/SAS4/SATA, plus up to 10 x 2.5” NVMe/SAS4/SATA, and 14/16 x 5th Generation NVMe E3.S. It provides a New Smart Flow chassis that optimizes airflow to support the highest core count CPUs in an air-cooled environment within the current IT infrastructure. The R660 offers multiple 4th Generation and 5th Generation riser configurations (up to three PCIe slots) with interchangeable components that seamlessly integrate to address customer needs over time. These features make the R660 an ideal server for data center standardization on a wide range of workloads.
The PowerEdge R760 server is powered by the 4th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with up to 56 cores for a faster and more accurate processing performance. The R760 is a two-socket/2U rack server that delivers peak performance for the most demanding workloads. The R760 model supports up to 32 DDR5 RDIMMS up to 4400 MT/sec (2DPC) or 4800 MT/sec for 1DPC (16 DDR5 RDIMMs at a maximum). The R760 model provides storage options up to 12 x 3.5” SAS3/SATA; or up to 24 x 2.5” SAS4/SATA, plus up to 24 x NVMe U.2 Gen4, 16 x NVMe E3.S Gen5. It offers multiple 4th Generation and 5th Generation riser configurations (up to eight PCIe slots) with interchangeable components that seamlessly integrate to address customer needs over time. The PowerEdge R760 is therefore an ideal server for data center standardization on a wide range of workloads requiring performance, extensive storage, and GPU support.
