Who This Solution Is For
Business Benefits
Higher VM density
Four sockets and 8TB DDR5 host far more virtual machines per node than a typical two-socket server.
Lower per-VM overhead
Fewer, larger hosts cut hypervisor licensing, cabling, and management surface across the estate.
Compact footprint
Delivering four sockets in 2U preserves valuable rack and power capacity in the data center.
Typical Business Use Cases
VMware vSphere consolidation
Private cloud compute nodes
Database and middleware hosting
Large general-purpose virtualization

Frequently Asked Questions
How many VMs can a host like this run?
Density depends on workload, but four sockets and 8TB of memory typically support several hundred general-purpose VMs per node versus a two-socket baseline.
Does it support VMware vSphere certification?
The DL560 Gen11 is on the VMware compatibility guide; we configure CPU, memory, and adapters to match your supported hypervisor version.
Can I add GPUs later for VDI?
Yes — the platform supports up to two double-wide or six single-wide GPUs, so graphics acceleration can be added as VDI needs grow.
