Dell PowerEdge R650 1U Rack Server – CTO Chassis | Custom Configurable Dual-Socket Xeon Scalable Server
Dell PowerEdge R650 – CTO 1U Dual-Socket Server Built for Modern Data Centers
Compact Powerhouse. Fully Customizable. Engineered for Performance and Scalability.
The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a high-performance 1U rack server designed for versatility, efficiency, and compute-intensive workloads. Built on the latest Intel® Xeon® Scalable architecture (3rd Gen), the R650 delivers the perfect balance of performance density and power efficiency - ideal for virtualization, database management, high-performance computing (HPC), and cloud applications.
As a CTO (Configure-To-Order) platform, the R650 lets you customize every component - from CPUs, memory, and drives to RAID controllers, NICs, and power supplies. This flexibility ensures that your configuration perfectly matches your workload, whether you’re optimizing for compute power, storage performance, or network throughput.
At Network Outlet, we supply the base R650 CTO chassis and provide a custom quote for your preferred configuration. Just share your requirements - CPU cores, RAM size, storage type/capacity, and redundancy preferences - and we’ll deliver a fully tested, ready-to-deploy Dell server built to your specs.
