Dell PowerEdge R450 Rack Server (Advance CTO, Please Enquire for Further Information) - Local Warranty

Compact 1U Rack Server for Space-Constrained Environments

The Dell PowerEdge R450 Rack Server is a 1U dual-socket server designed for organizations that need performance in a compact footprint. It is ideal for space-constrained data centers, branch offices, and SMB deployments, delivering strong performance in a rack-dense form factor.

Powered by 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors

Built with 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, the R450 supports up to two CPUs with up to 24 cores each, providing reliable compute power for virtualization, business applications, and light enterprise workloads.

Efficient Memory and Scalable Performance

The server supports up to 16 DDR4 DIMM slots with speeds up to 2933 MT/s, delivering sufficient memory bandwidth for virtual machines and general-purpose workloads. It is optimized for cost-efficient performance scaling.

Flexible Storage Options for Growing Needs

The PowerEdge R450 offers flexible storage configurations, supporting up to 8 x 2.5” drives or 4 x 3.5” drives (SAS/SATA/SSD). This makes it suitable for file storage, backup, and entry-level database workloads.

PCIe Gen4 Expansion for Future Growth

Equipped with PCIe Gen4 slots, the server enables faster data transfer and supports expansion cards such as RAID controllers and network adapters, ensuring scalability for future requirements.

Optimised for SMB and Light Virtualisation

The R450 is positioned as a value-optimized server, making it ideal for small IT infrastructure, edge deployments, and light virtualization workloads without the cost of higher-end models like R650 or R750.
