Dell PowerEdge R450 1U Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R450 is a 15th Generation dual-socket 1U rack server and the budget entry point to the 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable platform. It supports up to 48 cores total with 16 DDR4 DIMM slots and up to 1 TB of memory — the cost-effective alternative to the full-featured R650.
Enterasource offers the R450 in two chassis configurations: 4x3.5-inch LFF and 8x2.5-inch SFF. Each server is built to order, tested through our multi-point hardware diagnostic process, and backed by a 2-year Enterasource warranty.
The R450 includes iDRAC9 with Redfish API, PERC H345/H745/H755 RAID controllers, and BOSS-S1 M.2 boot. For edge computing, web hosting, and ROBO deployments where the R650's 32 DIMM slots and 8 TB memory capacity are not required, the R450 delivers 15th Gen performance at a lower price.
