Overview:
The Dell PowerEdge R5715 is powered by a 5th Generation AMD EPYC 9005 Series processor, 24 DDR5 DIMM slots, NVMe BOSS-N1 and iDRAC10.
Ideal for:
- Backup and recovery targets
- File and object serving
- Video surveillance and retail
- Capacity-tier and archive storage
The 2U, one-socket PowerEdge R5715 is built around storage capacity and I/O expandability, offering twelve 3.5-inch drive bays without the cost or licensing overhead of a dual-socket platform.
Storage density where you need it most
The PowerEdge R5715 is a 2U, single-socket rack server built on the 5th Generation AMD EPYC 9005 Series platform. Where its 1U sibling, the PowerEdge R4715, fits eight 2.5-inch or four 3.5-inch drives, the R5715 takes twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives — three times the large-form-factor count in twice the rack space. Alternatively you can configure sixteen 2.5-inch bays where a higher spindle count and smaller failure domain matter more.
That makes the R5715 a natural fit for the workloads that consume capacity rather than cores: backup and recovery targets, file serving, capacity tiers behind a primary array, and retail or campus video surveillance where days of retention drive the sizing. A single processor with up to 32 cores is more than sufficient to keep those workloads fed, and it keeps both the acquisition cost and the per-core licensing bill down.
A backup target that does not compromise on I/O
Capacity alone is not enough for a backup target — ingest and restore windows depend just as much on the network and controller path. The R5715 carries four full-height PCIe Gen5 x16 slots, one more than the R4715, plus two OCP NIC 3.0 slots, so 25 GbE networking can be fitted alongside a PERC H965i without contending for the same expansion budget.
Boot is handled by a dedicated BOSS-N1 module, keeping the operating system isolated from the data pool. That separation matters on a capacity platform: the array can be rebuilt, re-tiered or reconfigured without disturbing the boot volume.
Right-sized configuration for targeted workloads
- Front storage configurable as 12 x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA or 16 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA.
- 24 DDR5 DIMM slots supporting up to 1.5 TB of registered ECC memory at speeds up to 5200 MT/s.
- Four PCIe Gen5 x16 full-height slots plus two OCP NIC 3.0 slots supporting 1 GbE, 10 GbE and 25 GbE.
- PERC H365i or H965i RAID with a dedicated BOSS-N1 boot device.
Efficiency in an air-cooled footprint
The R5715 is an air-cooled platform, avoiding the facilities investment that liquid-cooled servers require. Up to six hot-plug fans sustain airflow across a fully populated drive plane, while Platinum and Titanium power supplies at 800 W and 1100 W, with Fault Tolerant Redundancy, support both efficiency and uptime.
Cyber Resilient Architecture for Zero Trust IT environment & operations
Security is integrated into every phase of the PowerEdge lifecycle, including protected supply chain and factoryto-site integrity assurance. The Silicon-based root of trust anchors end-to-end boot resilience while Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls safeguard trusted operations. For a platform holding backup copies, Secure Erase and Data at Rest Encryption with self-encrypting drives protect data through the full retirement lifecycle.
