Which Dell PowerEdge server is best for VMware or Proxmox virtualisation?

The Dell PowerEdge R660 (1U rack) and R760 (2U rack) are the most widely deployed models for virtualisation. The R760 offers more PCIe slots, more NVMe storage and GPU support, while the R660 is more efficient for high-density clusters where rack space matters.

Which Dell server do I need to run AI models or LLMs on-premise?

For training or serving large language models on-premise, the Dell PowerEdge XE9680 with eight NVIDIA H100 or H200 GPUs interconnected via NVLink is the most powerful option in the Dell catalogue. For lighter inference workloads, a PowerEdge R760 with 2 to 3 NVIDIA L40S GPUs is usually enough.

Does SIXE include installation when I buy a Dell PowerEdge server?

Yes. SIXE includes custom configuration, physical installation in your data centre, operating system setup, migration from your existing infrastructure, and ongoing support from the same engineers who design the project. It is not just a hardware sale.

What is the best alternative to VMware after the Broadcom changes, using Dell servers?

SIXE migrates VMware clusters to Proxmox VE, KVM or OpenShift Virtualization on new Dell PowerEdge R660 or R760 hardware. The migration runs with zero downtime and removes recurring VMware/Broadcom licensing costs entirely.

Can I buy a Dell server through SIXE with official ProSupport?

Yes. Every Dell PowerEdge server sold by SIXE includes official Dell ProSupport coverage for 5 years, plus direct technical support from the SIXE engineering team in English, Spanish and French.

Use cases

For what you
actually need them for.

We don't sell boxes. We deliver infrastructure that solves a specific problem. Here are the real-world scenarios where Dell PowerEdge fits best.

Replace your VMware cluster before the next Broadcom renewal We migrate your VMware estate to Proxmox VE, KVM or OpenShift Virtualization on new Dell PowerEdge hardware. Zero downtime, no more Broadcom licensing surprises — typical savings run into six figures per year.

Mission-critical databases (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL) PowerEdge R760 with all-NVMe is the natural platform for demanding databases. We help with Oracle licensing strategy, performance tuning and active-active high availability — not just hardware delivery.

On-premise AI without sending data to the cloud We build private AI factories on Dell XE9680 with NVIDIA H100. LLMs running on your servers, vLLM inference, RAG pipelines over your own documents. Full GDPR compliance and zero data leaving your perimeter.

Refreshing legacy hardware (HPE, Lenovo, Supermicro) Your servers are seven years old and out of warranty. We design a phased refresh, migrate the data, and leave you with less rack space, lower power draw, and significantly more performance.

Regulatory compliance (NIS2, GDPR, ISO 27001) We harden your Dell PowerEdge to NIS2, GDPR and ISO 27001 requirements. iDRAC with strong authentication, encryption at rest, network segmentation and audit-ready documentation included.

Servers for SMBs without an in-house IT team PowerEdge T360 installed, configured and managed for you. File server, backups, antivirus, off-site copies. You stop worrying about it, we keep an eye on everything 24/7.
