The Dell PowerEdge R360 (PER36010A) is a robust, entry-level 1U rack server engineered for performance, scalability, and reliability — making it an excellent backbone for video management systems (VMS) in security, retail, and industrial environments.
Powered by an Intel Xeon E-2414 quad-core processor, this server delivers stable performance for running VMS platforms such as Milestone XProtect, Nx Witness, HikCentral, and Blue Iris. It includes 16GB DDR4 ECC RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking and system stability under continuous recording and playback loads.
The unit comes preconfigured with a 12TB SAS storage array, managed via a PERC H355 RAID controller, allowing for data redundancy and faster drive access — critical for handling high-resolution IP camera streams and extended retention periods. With support for RAID levels (0, 1, 5, 10), it offers flexibility based on security and storage needs.
Networking is handled by dual onboard Broadcom 5720 1GbE ports, providing reliable bandwidth for video data transmission and remote access. Remote management is made easy with iDRAC9 Basic, allowing administrators to monitor and manage the server even when the OS is offline.
Designed to fit into standard 19″ racks, the R360 is easy to deploy and integrates seamlessly with UPS systems, NVRs, and external storage expansions. The 600W redundant power supply ensures uninterrupted uptime — essential for mission-critical surveillance applications.
Whether you’re supporting a small business with 8–32 IP cameras or a distributed site with moderate VMS demands, the Dell PowerEdge R360 provides the stability, expandability, and performance required for dependable 24/7 video surveillance operations.
