Dell Technologies has announced a New server of its Poweredge range, the Poweredge XR8720Tdesigned for its implementations in the Edge Empresarial, as well as for the telecommunications sector, thanks to the fact that it has been designed thinking about its performance and connectivity, especially for Open Ran and Cloud Ran implementations.
The deployment of multiple servers has traditionally hindered the adoption of Cloud RAN and advanced computing in the EDGE, which gave problems to companies, related to an increase in costs and the complexity of operations. In addition to other problems, such as those related to space and energy demand.
Dell Poweredge XR8720T eliminates these barriers, since it is presented as a unique server solution for Cloud RAN, which allows to optimize infrastructure and increase performance and efficiency, with less costs and less space and consumption problems.
The Poweredge XR8720T computing sled is integrated with the Dell Poweredge XR8000 and eliminates the performance gaps between the cloud and the traditional RAN architecture, thanks to the fact that it offers a higher level of processing power compared to the previous generation. Admits up to 72 nuclei and 24 SFP28 connectivity ports in a compact 2U configuration.
Intel Xeon 6 socate incorporates Intel Vran Accelerators and Intel Ethernet E830-XXVDA8F network. This allows you to provide the process power, port density (24x SFP28) and the network band (600 GBE) necessary for Cloud Ran workloads. Its specific features for telecommunications include built -in precision timing (PTP/Synce) for a reliable network synchronization and compact depth of 430 mm, designed for implementations with space limitations.
The server unlocks the AI capacities for CPU -based work loads, which makes possible cases of advanced use of perimeter AI, such as agricultural AI, real -time analysis and Machine Learning. Its flexible configuration also allows possible GPU compatibility at the request.
With modular design and prepared for extreme conditions, The XR8720T works at temperatures between -5 ° C and 55 ° C. It is compatible with the level 3 network equipment construction system includes features such as front access I/O, which reduces the inactivity time and operational complexity. It has an intelligent cooling system that optimizes heat flow in small spaces. It will be available throughout the first quarter of next year 2026.
