Product Information
The Dell PowerEdge R7615 is a highly scalable single-socket 2U rack server designed to deliver powerful performance and outstanding total cost of ownership (TCO). It offers flexible, low-latency storage options and can be configured with air or Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC).

This server is built to stay ahead of the curve by delivering breakthrough innovation for traditional and emerging workloads, including software-defined storage, data analytics, and virtualization. It provides the latest performance and density options with optional acceleration.

With the PowerEdge R7615, you can invest wisely in a platform that grows with your business. It offers increased virtual machine density to support demanding applications and allows for more data storage in one server, saving space in your datacenter.

Security is a priority with the Cyber Resilient Architecture,which ensures a Zero Trust IT environment and operations. The server integrates security into every phase of its lifecycle, from protected supply chain to role-based access controls. It also features Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and a silicon- based root of trust for end-to-end boot resilience.

The Dell OpenManageTM systems management portfolio simplifies,automates, and centralizes one-to-many management for PowerEdge servers. This secure and efficient solution includes the OpenManage Enterprise console and iDRAC for increased efficiency and accelerated operations.

The PowerEdge R7615 is designed with sustainability in mind. It incorporates recycled materials in its products and packaging and offers innovative options for energy efficiency. Dell Technologies Services make it easy to retire legacy systems responsibly, further reducing the carbon footprint and lowering operation costs.
