Ideal for:

  • Database
  • High-Performance Computing (HPC)
  • Retail Servers
  • Virtualization

Setting the standard for feature flexibility in a 2-socket, 2U rack server, the Dell PowerEdge R720 is built to run complex workloads using its highly scalable memory, I/O capacity and flexible network options.


Designed to excel at running a wide range of applications and virtualization environments for both mid-size and large enterprises, the Dell PowerEdge R720 rack server is a general purpose platform with highly expandable memory (up to 768GB) and impressive I/O capabilities to match. With Intel Xeon E5-2600 processors, and the ability to support dual RAID controllers, the R720 can readily handle very demanding workloads, such as data warehouses, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), databases and high performance computing (HPC) as a data node.


Virtualize more with the R720

Maximize your data center’s application capacity by expanding your virtual environment using the PowerEdge R720’s large memory footprint. Choose an industry-leading hypervisor and take advantage of our system management capability to manage both physical and virtual assets. The R720 can help maximize your virtual machines’ uptime with redundant failsafe hypervisors. Finally, Dell’s Virtual Integrated System (VIS) solution lets you enable complex virtualization environments in just a few mouse clicks.

Manage data overload

Keep pace with the explosion of data in the virtual age with the flexible, powerful I/O and storage capabilities of the R720. Up to 16 internal hard drives and integrated PCI Express 3.0-capable expansion slots greatly increase your capacity, while optional hot-plug, front-access PCIe SSDs (up to 4) enable performance-enhancing, in-box storage tiering. Moreover, Dell Select Network Adapters, our flexible NIC technology, let you choose the right network fabric to match your needs without using up a valuable PCIe slot.




Networking and PCIe

The PowerEdge R720 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 R720 and R720xd include a selection of 1GbE and 10GbE port cards, such as 1000 Base-T, 10Gb Base-T, and 10Gb SFP+

The R720 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.

PCIe Slots Type
  • One x16 full-length, full-height
  • Three x8 full-length, full-height
  • Three x8 half-length, half-height
GPU Support

The R720 can support two 300W, full-length, double-wide GPUs or up to four 150W, full-length, single-wide GPUs. Each GPU can support up to 6GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory and is either actively or passively cooled. The GPUs are installed on the PCIe x16 2.0 interfaces available on riser 2 and GPU-optional riser 3. A system must have the optional riser 3 with a single x16 slot to support more than two GPUs.

Other GPU restrictions

The following GPU restrictions for the R720 are enforced by the order validator:

  • Requires two processors
  • Processors must be 115W or less
  • Maximum of two double-wide GPUs (since they take up two slots)
  • Maximum of four single-wide GPUs
  • All GPUs must be same type and model
  • GPUs require a redundant 1100W power supply and GPU enablement kit
  • PowerEdge R720 and R720xd Technical Guide
  • Two double-wide GPUs require the optional riser 3 with a single x16 slot
  • Four single-wide GPUs cannot occupy optional riser 3 with a single x16 slot
  • Dell PowerVault RD1000 backup unit not supported
