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.
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.
Accelerate the solution
Boost the performance of your HPC or VDI 
environment by combining the PowerEdge R720’s 
memory density with an optional GPU accelerator 
(some with over 500 cores). Choose from a range of 
GPU options for greater assisted performance.
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.
The PowerEdge server line
The PowerEdge family is engineered with the right 
combination of features and performance scalability 
to handle tough workloads for both large and small 
data center environments. 
The Dell OpenManage™ systems management 
portfolio includes the Integrated Dell Remote Access 
Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller. This 
embedded feature helps 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.
