About the Dell PowerEdge R960
The Dell PowerEdge R960 (part number 210-BFVU) delivers exceptional computational density with redundant hot-swap power supplies rated up to 2400W, reducing operational expenditure through efficient power management and N+1 cooling redundancy that minimizes downtime and cooling overhead in high-density data center environments.
This 4U rack server is purpose-built for enterprise workloads requiring massive parallel processing and memory capacity. Featuring 4 processor sockets supporting 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Sapphire Rapids), the R960 scales to a maximum of 480 cores and delivers up to 12 TB of DDR5 memory across 96 DIMM slots—making it the ideal platform for infrastructure architects, database administrators, and AI infrastructure teams managing memory-intensive analytics, virtualization, and machine learning deployments. The system accommodates up to 32 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays supporting NVMe, SAS, and SATA protocols, with PCIe Gen 5 expansion across up to 12 slots (configuration-dependent) to integrate specialized accelerators and storage controllers. A standard Broadcom 5720 Quad-Port 1GbE BASE-T LOM provides foundational network connectivity, while iDRAC9 with Lifecycle Controller and OpenManage enable comprehensive remote systems management. Security is embedded through Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, Silicon Root of Trust, and System Lockdown capabilities.
Dell backs this platform with broad operating system support including Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi, ensuring integration flexibility across heterogeneous enterprise environments. Whether you are consolidating mission-critical databases, building high-performance compute clusters, or deploying next-generation virtualization infrastructure, the PowerEdge R960 (210-BFVU) combines raw performance with operational resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dell PowerEdge R960
Can you supply the Dell PowerEdge R960 configured to my BOM?
Yes. Submit your CTO BOM (CPU SKU, memory layout, drives, NIC, GPU, OS preload) in the RFQ and we return a configured-to-order quote with realistic lead time. Standard CTO turn is 4-6 weeks vendor-side.
Do you offer Dell ProSupport / HPE Foundation Care alongside the hardware?
Yes — we attach the matching support contract during quoting. Available tiers: ProSupport / ProSupport Plus / Mission Critical (Dell), Foundation Care / Proactive Care 24x7 (HPE), Premier (Lenovo). Recommend 3y minimum for production.
Is rack installation available in Dubai / GCC?
Yes for Dubai (same-week scheduling) and on quotation for the broader GCC via certified partners. Includes rack-and-stack, cable management, OS install, and post-install verification.
Why buy from Omnixon Global instead of going direct to the OEM?
Omnixon Global is a single supplier across every major brand — genuine channel-sourced hardware, full manufacturer support, pre-sales engineering and BOM validation. Submit a Request for Quote (RFQ) and our team handles sourcing and configuration end-to-end.
