Dell PowerEdge R260 1U Rack Server | Intel Xeon E-2414 | 16GB | 480GB SSD

The Next-Generation Server for Your Growing Business

Meet the PowerEdge R260, Dell’s brand-new entry-level rack server designed to replace the legendary R250. It’s purpose-built for growing businesses that need a reliable, efficient, and powerful solution in a compact, space-saving 1U chassis.

A Leap in Performance

This server introduces a massive performance jump, built on the latest Intel® Xeon® E-2414 4-Core processor. More importantly, it’s one of the first in its class to use high-speed 4800MT/s DDR5 ECC RAM, offering a significant bandwidth increase over older DDR4 servers. This means your applications feel snappier, your databases respond faster, and your whole office runs smoother.

Speed is Standard

This configuration is built for speed, featuring a 480GB Enterprise SSD for the operating system. This ensures lightning-fast boot times, instant application loading, and a responsive experience for all your users.

Manage from Anywhere

As a true Dell server, the R260 includes the iDRAC9 (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller). This is the #1 tool for your IT provider (Compufi), allowing us to remotely monitor server health, perform diagnostics, apply updates, and even power the server on or off without needing to be on-site, ensuring maximum uptime for your business.

What It’s Good For

This server is the perfect foundation for a small business’s IT infrastructure:

• File & Print Server: The classic, reliable workhorse for centralizing all your company files and managing office printers.
• Active Directory Controller: The “brain” of your business network. It will securely manage all user logins, passwords, and permissions.
• Point-of-Sale (POS) Server: A fast, reliable, and compact server to run the database for a retail or restaurant POS system.
• Web Server: Easily capable of hosting your company’s high-traffic website or internal web applications.
• Dedicated Firewall: An incredibly powerful and stable platform for a pfSense or OPNsense network firewall.

Good to Knows

• STORAGE (The SSD): This unit includes one 480GB SSD. This is perfect for installing the Operating System (like Windows Server) for maximum speed.
• STORAGE (The Chassis): This server has a 4-bay 3.5″ cabled chassis. This means there are three empty 3.5″ drive bays ready for mass-storage HDDs.
• Compufi Recommendation :
  1. For Performance: We recommend adding a second 480GB SSD to create a high-speed, redundant RAID 1 (Mirror) array for your OS.
  2. For Storage: We then add one or two large Enterprise HDDs (e.g., 2TB or 4TB) for your file-sharing data.
• RAID CONTROLLER: This server includes the Dell PERC H355 hardware RAID controller, which is essential for protecting your data by managing the drives in a redundant array.
• OS: No operating system is pre-installed. We will need to purchase and install your preferred OS, such as Windows Server 2022.
